This article is partnership content produced for Dezeen Showroom, which offers brands an affordable space to launch new products. Among this season’s launches is the profondo sofa armchair from Zenith Interiors.

Five new products are featured on Dezeen Showroom this season. The lineup spans a fully upholstered sofa and armchair, layered wallpapers, a garden parasol and two woven outdoor chairs.

The profondo sofa armchair by Zenith Interiors

Australian workplace brand Zenith’s Profondo range pairs a sofa and an armchair. Both pieces share U-shaped armrests and thickly padded seats, which makes the profondo sofa armchair pairing a comfortable choice for lounges and reception areas.

Buyers can choose from a set of standard fabrics and leathers, and Zenith also offers upholstered seating in custom materials on request.

Zenith’s Australian roots also show up in another Dezeen Showroom piece, a rustic take on seating. Rustic Australian-Inspired Cattle Armchair at Dezeen Showroom offers a chunkier, more characterful counterpoint to the Profondo.

RGB-Not wallpapers by Carnovsky

Milan collective Carnovsky designed RGB-Not, a wallpaper of three fresco-like scenes stacked on top of one another. Each scene sits in a differently coloured layer.

The scenes are dynamic. Their details shift depending on the light in the room.

Furniture brand Paola Lenti has released the Bistrò parasol, designed to shade terraces and gardens. The canopy and the base each come in a choice of muted colours.

Outdoor Woven Collection by Abril Zepeda for MasayaCo

Designer Abril Zepeda created the Outdoor Woven Collection for furniture brand MasayaCo. The rocking and lounge chairs use traditional weaving methods. The seats are strung across solid teak frames.

Metal Twill chair by Gibson Karlo for Design By Them

Australian studio Gibson Karlo and furniture brand Design By Them have released an all-metal version of their 2022 Twill chair. The new model is rendered in aluminium.

The Metal Twill chair keeps the playful legs and backrest of the original. Those tubular, smooth forms were inspired by a fresh pack of modelling clay, and the metal version preserves that soft-edged look.

If plush cushioning is your priority, Khoy’s Plush Foam Sofa That Converts Into Bed shows how a padded seat can also serve as versatile lounge furniture.

Together, the five products show how Dezeen Showroom brands are moving furniture, textiles and surfaces toward durable materials and bolder colour. The strongest of them give a clear answer to a simple question: where and how will people actually use the piece?
