Three of a kind

PION LIGHT (1,299 / 1,799 yuan)

This nifty design by Dutchman Bertjan Pot is made using two pieces of NOMEX heatproof paper stitched together. Although it looks like a seashell, it is named after the Dutch word for "pawn." "It's an extremely nice, warm light inspired by a paper lantern," says Wrong, potentially furthering its appeal for Chinese consumers. It comes flat-packed in a "pizza box" for added convenience and is available in two sizes.

HACKNEY (The price depends on the type of fabric: The pouf is 3,299-6,649 yuan; the arm chair costs 10,099-22,149 yuan; a two-seater ranges from 19,499-37,999 yuan; and the three-seater from 22,799-45,899 yuan)

This comfy sofa is available in four models (pouf, arm chair, two-seater, three-seater) and is made in Poland. Consumers have a choice of seven different fabrics, including a special type of canvas by Danish textile company Kvadrat. It comes apart in three parts so can be easily boxed up. Where did Wrong get the inspiration for the name? "I live in Hackney," he says. If you want something homely, trendy and unpretentious, look no further.

REVOLVER STOOL (1,599/1,799 yuan)

It comes in three colors (red/gray/black) and two heights. What's so cool about it? You can spin around in circles all day without any awkward moving parts, or at least shift focus without straining your neck.  Simple, sturdy and reliable, it gets Wrong's vote as a must-have kitchen accessory.
