SHARPEI by SENIMO – France
A strikingly vibrant stool crafted from lacquered wood, SHARPEI captivates with its sculptural form, seamlessly integrating smooth curves, layered contours, and an interlocking structure that appears almost fluid. Its versatility is equally impressive—serving as a compact coffee table, a functional storage surface, or a statement homeware piece that elevates any space with refined sophistication.
BOON_EDITIONS N°2 BY STEFANO GIACOMELLO by BOON_EDITIONS – France
BOON_EDITIONS redefines the boundaries of contemporary furniture design, unveiling a visionary collaboration with Swiss-Italian designer and digital artist, Stefano Giacomello. The result? A sleek yet conceptually rich sofa, inspired by the iconic designs and architectural movements of the 1970s and 1980s, with a particular reverence for the bold aesthetics of Italian design.
GAMMA CANDLEHOLDER, FLOWER VASE by OOUMM – France
A collaboration between oOumm and French designer Frédéric Saulou, the "Gamma" candleholder and flower vase is a masterpiece of marble craftsmanship. Its form is evocative of a flying saucer, with a floating central disc that expands outward in graceful motion, contrasting against a solid, weighty base. The result is a sculptural balance of lightness and stability, reminiscent of a celestial body suspended in space.
N° 06 by MOSS STUDIO – Belgium
A wood-carving marvel by architect Mario Vanwynsberghe, N°06 explores the intricate relationship between the organic beauty of timber and the precision of the chisel. MOSS STUDIO remains dedicated to celebrating the raw elegance of wood, honouring its natural imperfections while sculpting a form that is at once minimalist and profoundly expressive, a true homage to the artistry of nature.
CORDEA INDOOR by MASIERO – Italy
Designed by Favaretto&Partners, the Cordea Indoor pendant light reimagines industrial warehouse lighting through a modernist lens. The bell-shaped metal shade, crowned with a laminated heat sink, is accentuated by a wide leather strap encircling the fixture, lending a refined contrast between raw industrial aesthetics and sophisticated craftsmanship.
FLYING FISH TABLE LAMP by SOFTICATED – Switzerland
An entrancing table lamp, drawing inspiration from the fluid movements of marine life, particularly the graceful motion of a whale gliding through the ocean. Its sleek, aerodynamic silhouette exudes a sense of perpetual motion, making it a stunning centrepiece that seamlessly bridges the realms of contemporary and classic interiors. Beyond mere illumination, the Flying Fish Table Lamp transforms its surroundings with a timeless yet progressive presence, elevating the ambience of any space.
