The Village Novecento Pietra d’Avola, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, is a decorative object expressed in a pair of houses, with the clean, precise lines of each piece recalling the style of Italy’s Novecento movement, the inspiration for the name he chose. The design sees an interchange of high and low arches, artfully cut so as to highlight the distinctive characteristic. It features a vivid rich dark tones of Pietra d’Avola.
Dirk Van Der Kooij
The Meltingpot table designed by Kooij plays a keystone role in the circular design practice at Kooij. Discarded recycled plastic prototypes, production faults, and color tests form the basis of the conglomerate Meltingpot. Meltingpots are made available online as they are produced.
House of Finn Juhl
Pelican Chair, designed by Finn Juhl. His fascination for surrealism is visible in the Pelican Chair. Out of all his many designs, the Pelican Chair was probably the one furthest ahead of its time. The Pelican Chair is produced in two versions - with or without buttons. It is manufactured with a cushion and upholstered by hand in Denmark in fabric. The legs are available in oak, walnut, or black paint.
House of Finn Juhl
Reading Chair, designed by Finn Juhl. In 1953, Finn Juhl designed this simple, unpretentious, yet thoroughly well-designed and visually pleasing chair. The chair is perfectly fit for private homes, hotels, restaurants and conference facilities alike. The Reading Chair is manufactured in oak with a back piece of oak and walnut or in a fully black painted version.
Man of Parts
Mainkai, designed by Sebastian Herkner. Mainkai, or Main River Quay in English, is the riverside boulevard in Frankfurt, Germany, close to where designer Sebastian Herkner grew up and still calls home today. The spherical fishing floats and mooring buoys that bob along the river with an ethereal glow at night inspired the Mainkai's lamps' design.
George Geara
“Bar Baron” reflects the attributes of nobleness of great power and influence. A handcrafted dance between traditions and sophisticated elements. Carrying itself with great power on two handmade carved sides, embracing the middle part that embodies all Nobel dressing from genuine leather on the outside to olive wood on the inside, reflecting values of resistance and history. The whole is crowned by a dynamic cup holder creating rapport between the human and the piece. A manifestation of what defines a Baron. A bar waiting to be revered.
Nader Gammas
Nader Gammas’ contribution; Nimbus, a frosted acrylic chair, is an experimentation on the permanence of matter and a testament to nature’s symbiotic relationship with all four elements; air, water, earth, and fire. Embracing simplicity, purity, and subtlety in his designs, people experiencing his work have room to explore their sensations and emotions and question the permanence of matter and the subjectivity of perception. The chosen material for the Nimbus chair, acrylic, produces a surreal, dream-like quality, with translucent contours bound together by light and air. The sculptural chair is juxtaposed by its ever-changing ethereal quality, as light, color, and body heat pass through it, transforming it time and again. Gammas’ work demands attention; the contrasts within the chair, romantic yet austere, solid yet luminous, embody a pulsing halo of energy as it interacts with its environment. Nader Gammas entered the world of design as a light specialist. His latest foray into functional art incorporates his ethos of objects that are not only aesthetically beautiful and superbly functional but, more importantly, engaging with their surroundings.

The slip-cast porcelain forms of the lantern series float along a rigid brass structure. Their glow is punctuated by finely incised fluting, connecting to the essential element of historical lanterns – light passing through a delicate protective form. Repeating spheres act as a counterpoint to the sizeable shades. A dimmer ball sits on the base.

A robust study of material evokes the grace and strength of its equine contributor. Wefts of horsehair are combined with brass and etched glass, implying a structural weight-bearing function for the coarse hair.

Draga&Aurel
A superb and inimitable showcase of craftsmanship, this unique coffee table is part of the Transparency Matters Collection. Entirely crafted by hand through the casting techniques of both resin and brass, it is composed of a one-of-a-kind resin top boasting a polished emerald green tone that results from a unique combination of three layers of mold. The finished piece looks like a precious gem. The elegant column-style base is a cylinder made of brass enriched by a natural golden finish. Also available in other colors and measures, any variation in the top is not to be considered a flaw but a stylistic choice of the designer.
Faina
In Ukrainian, PLYN means fluidity. Taking inspiration from water, a new design piece by Faina manifests soft power. Primitive massive blocks recall the outlines of coastal stones, which forms were naturally polished by water."Water is soft and accepting. At the same time, it overcomes all the rigid and rock. This soft power is revealed in PLYN sofa”, comments Victoria Yakusha, founder of Faina."I started thinking about acceptance and fluidity after the pandemic when we all felt on our skin that we couldn't affect some things. In today's world, acceptance is often equated with weakness and vulnerability. But it has its hidden power. Water moves stones with its softness.”PLYN sofa was presented at the personal Faina exhibition in Paris, which took place during Summer Solstice, the time of natural renewal. A Series of art photos crossed the parallel between the PLYN sofa and a human — consonant in their fluid lines and keeping the soft power inside.“We must learn from Water. Flexible and accepting, it changes its forms but never loses its essence. Accepting the outer world and interacting with it, we’ll reveal our soft power”.This piece is handcrafted from wood, natural textile, and soft filling. Besides a big sofa, PLYN soft range includes a bed, a small sofa, an armchair, and a bench. With soft, fluid lines yet a strong character, it brings natural calmness to the space.

Using a strict arrangement of semi-precious stones, Talisman 14 Pendant Light by Gabriel Hendifar for Apparatus recalls the fine details found on statues in the ancient city of Persepolis. Agate, jasper, or jade beads are pierced by finely fluted pins, affixing them to a leather-bound brass structure.

Meteors slash through the sky, dazzling all who witness their strangeness. It is this primal, cosmic energy that is captured in METEOR. METEOR implements a delicate hand-picked selection of gradations of natural smoky quartz and natural clear quartz, conveying the dynamism and movement of cosmic matter plummeting to Earth. Warm light emanates through the naturally uncut crystals, providing a dramatic glow through dimmable LED technology.
Mark Mitchell
The Breeze Sofa has been designed by Mark Mitchell as a decidedly fluffy, cloud-like furniture piece for those seeking out a decorative yet functional solution for the home. The sofa is characterized by its puffy design that appears to combine oblong-shaped components into one single seating solution. The couch maintains a floating design that sits just above the carpet-like base and is suspended on one side to give it an unexpected form that's ready to support a single sitter. It takes an artistic interpretation of an everyday object and takes a wondrous approach to living room furniture design. The sofa, while artistic in nature, would still provide a comfortable spot to sit that mimics the feeling of relaxing in a cloud. And then there are the artistic interpretations of those everyday objects, like crumpled paper or fluffy clouds. The Suspended Sofa is like a little bit of both, but it also provokes the mind to make a suspension of belief that you won’t fall down on this cozy seat.
Laurids Gallée
In ancient cosmologies, the Empyrean was believed to be a celestial place in the highest of heavens, occupied by the element of fire. The warm glow of the ceiling light Empyrean suspended 01 pays homage to this antiquated concept, as Gallée experiments with light through material hues, transparency, and luminosity. Paired with studies of space from today, Gallée observed the warped behavior of light around black holes and translated it into the refraction of light in the Empyrean light. 24m of LED-light strips illuminate the dark resin centerpieces from within, while the rounded edges contort the light rays, creating a floating effect that moves around the geometric composition. The thickness of the resin blocks with the intangible translucence of the light creates a compelling juxtaposition that constitutes a balanced yet playful aesthetic that teases the eye. Empyrean suspended 01 is the first light in the Empyrean collection. As Gallée experiments with the light bending qualities of translucent resin, the Empyrean collection will grow and continue to catch the light.
