Pensieri Panteschi – Elena Salmistaro for Lithea

The furniture and decorations series “Pensieri Panteschi” was a result of Elena Salmistaro’s observations in a specific location, the island of Pentallaria located between Sicily and Tunisia. Rocks splashed by the sea, volcanic lands, abyssal vineyards and rock patterns are transferred onto the objects as strictly geometric shapes formed by marble and copper. The objects in the collection consist of the large table 'Specchio di Venere', the stools 'Sibà' as well as the decorative wall surfaces 'Gadir' and the vases 'Spadillo', 'Limarsi' and 'Tracino'.

Cloth Coffee Table – Teixeira Design Studio

The award-winning Portuguese designer João Teixeira combines the simplicity of Japanese design with the functionality of Scandinavian design in the "Cloth Coffee Table". Inspired by organic shapes and movement, this coffee table consists of flat and curved wooden surfaces that are broken up by the central metal element that can be used to store magazines and books. The thin properties of the materials chosen, in addition to graceful aesthetics, give the object the required stability and support through the curves they form.

Framed – Alain Gilles for Greenmood

A series of sound-absorbing surfaces that also function as paintings. The so-called “reindeer moss”, a kind of lichen that grows in Tundra and Taiga, has natural sound-absorbing properties. This matter constitutes the ideal raw material for an object that is essential to every office. The compositions depicted on the wooden panels are abstract, designed so that each user may project his imagination onto them.

Block Series - Rahee Yoon

These elegant cubes are part of an ongoing project by Seoul artist and designer Rahee Yoon. In her projects, she explores the limits of materials and emphatically demonstrates the possibilities of transparency. Here, objects inspired by local culture seem to float inside acrylic cubes-sculptures, wherein gradation of transparency and color are dominant. Besides being decorative, each block could be a foundation for a complete interior design.

Ary Collection – Emmanuelle Simon

With this collection, interior and object designer Emmanuelle Simon celebrates local craftsmanship. In collaboration with French craftsmen, he made oak wood surfaces in various sizes, which serve as coffee tables, seating and storage areas. Each object has a unique character, thanks to the grain of the wood that is kept visible, but also to the pleated geometry of the furniture.

Elephant Light – Samuel Lambert (Lambert & Fils) and Darius Laprise

Through this collaboration between the lighting design studio Lambert & Fils and Darius Laprise, who deals with object, fashion and graphic design, the playful minimal lamp emerged. The imaginative shape of the 'Elephant' was created after experimenting with 1.5 inch aluminum pieces, which are repeated or interrupted. The architectural vocabulary of deconstruction and deploying the void and the complete are enhanced by lighting. This item was created for the Head Hi Lamp Show, an annual showcase of lighting design samples in New York.
