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.

“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.
Kameh
Introduces a new material, sand, inspired by the designer’s connection to his home, the UAE. The breaking sand collection continues the iconic KAMEH designs finished with sand from the Dubai desert. Its imperfect, sculpted form allows each piece to be wildly idiosyncratic, which KAMEH calls 'breaking the sand.' "There is un-perfectness in the objects," designer KAMEH says, "There is no beauty in perfection, only imperfection." KAMEH finds inspiration in various artistic elements, such as art, nature, and the human self. The sand from the UAE's desert represents the versatility of the nation's natural elements and was chosen by the designer to show the versatility of the craftsmanship. It mimics the desert's dunes, rough, with a sandy finish on the exposed surface by unforgiving nature and uniquely formed on the inside.

The fossil floor light was inspired by my fascination with shells, exoskeletons, and stone imprints. The coastline of South Africa varies from rugged and dramatic cliffs crashing into the oceans to sandy beaches that are gentle.
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.

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.

Prometheus IV by Christopher Boots is a table lamp with a minimalist design that embodies the cyclical nature of existence. Looking through Prometheus IV, one is moved through a metaphysical passageway connecting two environments, dimensions, or points in time. Prometheus stole fire from the Gods of Mt Olympus and gave it to humankind. More than the means for survival- light and technology, Prometheus’ gift represented creative potential. The spark of creation, previously limited to the Gods, gave mortals the power to dream, create, imagine, and challenge. Prometheus IV is an implosion of blazing crystal quartz, venerating its namesake in a ring of flame. This model features a special Verdigris finish with a clear quartz boulder base.Lamp: 2500–2700K Warm White
