Tip of the Tongue consists of a table lamp, wall and ceiling-mounted sconce, all which feature an interesting illusion: a luminous mouth-blown opaline sphere appears to roll down the edge of a solid polished brass base. This delicate gesture of a sphere poised on the edge of the surface evokes the familiar phenomenon of failing to retrieve a word from memory, expressing a moment of tension in the form of the design.

The Greek philosopher Socrates urged young people to look at themselves in mirrors so that, if they were beautiful, they would become worthy of their beauty. The Beauty Mirror takes inspiration from those ancient polished surfaces, offering a reflective image with a golden glow. This mirror challenges the notion of what a true reflection is, both in terms of consistency and colour.

The Onyx Light is carved from a single block of onyx, carefully selected for its transparency and veins. There are about 20 pieces that come out of a single block, with each batch bearing similarities in terms of character and colour. Each Onyx Light series is a unique edition, created when we are lucky enough to find blocks of onyx that carry the necessary qualities.

A mouth-blown opaline sphere rests on a solid brass bar, evoking a play of balance and stillness. The idea of a movement caught in a second of suspension is a recurring theme in Michael Anastassiades’ designs, which often trigger the imagination of the viewers, offering them a playful yet meditative moment of contemplation.

‘A few years ago I saw an acorn vase by Estrid Ericson, produced by Svenskt Tenn. I loved the simple poetry of an object of that nature, growing a single acorn. It was the hope for early spring, especially coming from a country with such heavy and dark winters. I became obsessed with the simple idea of suspending a seed on the surface of the water, submerged. Just the right level for it to germinate, with the possibility of it supporting itself in the absence of soil, allowing it to stand upright; exposed, all in clear view.’ The series consists of seven different models to be positioned over a drinking glass of your choice, each designed to suit a specific seed or stone.

‘The Wave’ is part of the award-winning series Hyperplanes of Simultaneity (2016-2019). The project was presented with an exhibition in 2016 at Palazzo Reale, Milan and suddenly was considered a virtuous example of the union of tradition and innovation: a combination of virtual reality and painting. It was a huge success ahead of its time and in the same year, "Hyperplanes of Simultaneity" obtained the Lumen Prize, the international award for the best works of art created with the use of new technologies.

This unique sculptural console in ceramic base, bronze details, and kiln cast pollen glass top console took three months to make. Atelier Stefan Leo used old craftmanship to infuse glass pigment nuggets inside the pollen glass countertop and baked it under 1,000 degrees. Then the nuggets burst into bloom, like flowers petals, and leaves. Each piece is unique and handmade

Tarquini Mårtensson, Michael Tarp Jensen, armchairs, black lacquered plywood, metal, wool, Denmark, 1974 Danish architects Tarquini Mårtensson and Michael Tarp Jensen designed this rare pair of chairs for Idrættens Hus ('House of Sports'). This impressive Brutalist complex was situated in Brøndby, a few kilometers outside of Kopenhagen and built in 1974. The spacious venue featured sports facilities, offices and meeting rooms. Today, the Danish Sports Confederation is still held in Idrættens Hus together with Team Denmark, Anti Doping Denmark and a number of special federations. Inside the building, the function-driven and well constructed furniture compliments the sturdy exterior of the building. The black lacquered chairs show an honest construction with all metal joints and mounts visible. The rounded seats are upholstered in a bright green wool. The open construction of the chairs contribute to the architectural feeling the chairs evoke. Seat Height: 44 CM
