Beyond Nature
BEYOND NATURE explores the ways in which nature has always been an indisputable source of inspiration for countless creations. Earth, Air, Water & Fire - the spirit elements interlaced with each other to create unity and universal balance. Beyond Nature celebrates nature at its core.
The exhibition explores the four elements in nature with exclusive commissions from Den Holm, Duffy London, Jan Ernst, Kameh, Laurids Galle, Mark Mitchell, and Nader Gammas as well as a curated selection of works from Christopher Boots, Draga and Aurel, Faina, and Kooij.
Gallery COLLECTIONAL connects nature’s four fundamental elements into a seamlessly unified space, revealing a perfect ecosystem orchestrated by beauty. Utilizing the source with the intention to give back to nature in symbiotic cycle.
Ewe Studio
EWE Studio in collaboration with Nouvel Limited produced a special golden edition of Magma lighting fixtures for Design. The process began with creating molds varying in size and scale, hand carved in volcanic stone by local stonemasons. The volcanic stone was chosen for the molds as it is not affected by the heat of the blown glass, due to its origin. Being an artisanal process, the shape, thickness and tonality differs, as a result giving unique characteristics to each one of the Magma ‘bubbles’. The ethereal golden light is generated through acid finish that was applied on the amber glass surface, together with the hand hammered brass surface contained within the bubbles.
Nada Debs
Spiritual Sphere was designed by Nada Debs in carved frakke (Limba, a West African wood) crafted.
Steven John Clark
The Classic range Ellie side table designed by Steve John Clark is made of South Australian Limestone and sculpted entirely by hand.

Dirk Van Der Kooij
Menhir bench designed by Kooij is unwieldy; different slabs of pressed prototypes and production waste are slowly cut and carved into the contours of the Menhir Bench. Menhir bench is composed of solid, 4cm thick menhirs, and the bench is suited to many lifetimes of use. Finished without lacquer or oil, it can be re-polished endlessly.
Niko Koronis

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. Materials: Cast resin and Solid brass

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.
