We have a clue about Furniture

In a courtyard in Brera, there grew a garden of tables… Stone Garden was one of two installations by Nendo Founder and Chief Designer, Oki Sato, for Caesarstone , commissioned to demonstrate the strength and durability of its quartz composite surface materials, more typically used for countertops, flooring and wall cladding. The second installation, The Stone-Edge Table collection, consisted of seven wooden tables, embellished with corner and leg details. Oki Sato said: In designing the Stone-Edge Table collection, I was able to take advantage of the strength of the material. Rather than ostentatiously applying the material to the entire design, we created wooden tables and used Caesarstone to protect the table top corners and feet.

Lately, I can’t get enough of a light pink and gold color combination. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this above. My light pink obsession is stemming from the color of my bridesmaids’ dresses, and gold I just love. Together, they’re soft and magical. Not exactly modern, but still feminine and often glamourous.

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about painting some walls pale pink. Clearly, I can’t get this pink out of my mind! The only way I could have it in my life is if I were to move into a new home and had a small office area of my own. If that happens, the office would be pale pink with lots of gold and lucite accents – to give this color combo a modern angle. And probably some sort of fur like that nursery above.

What are your thoughts on light pink and gold? Too pale and feminine or just right?

2013 saw the forth annual celebration of craftsmanship in the form of Wallpaper* Handmade, where designers, craftspeople and manufacturers are brought together and commissioned to create one-off pieces especially for the exhibition. I loved these table lights, called ‘Bruno’ by Karim Rashid ; part of the Love collection made by Verreum . More lighting from Norwegian designer Oyvind Wyller and Magnor . In Darkness is handblown into a shape that means light is filtered through tinted glass and therefore doesn’t destroy the ambience by being too bright. The cord is neatly integrated into the hanging of the shade. Shadow by Sebastian Bergne with Verreum is a series of mirrored glass, thermically insulated tableware
