Kartell by Laufen: Bathroom Collection by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba

Italian brand Kartell , well-known for their use of plastic materials, and Laufen , legendary Swiss makers of ceramic bathroom fixtures, joined forces to bring a new type of collection to the bathroom that they call Kartell by Laufen . At the design helm were Ludovica + Roberto Palomba who developed an “interconnected ecosystem where washbasins, sanitaryware, faucets, units, shower bases, bathtubs, lights and accessories coexist with the maximum flexibility, changing their appearance like chameleons to meet the taste requirements of all.” Mixing ceramic items with their rigid lines along with the lightness and transparent qualities of the plastic elements, creates a striking balance of bathroom innovation. Years of research went into the development of the collection, including the introduction of SaphirKeramik, a new, lightweight material that allows for fixtures to be super thin and weighing half that of normal ceramics.

Fishbone Table Collection by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso

Moroso has collaborated with designer Patricia Urquiola on a new collection of tables called Fishbone. Designed to accompany her M.a.s.s.a.s seating collection, also by Moroso, the tables are a playful herringbone design. The malleable palette of the cast acrylic composition has given Urquiola the freedom to create patterns that imitate natural materials such as horn, mother-of-pearl, marble and tortoise shell

Mosaic Chair 02 by BRC Designs

Designer Benjamin Rollins Caldwell, of BRC Designs , is known for creating furniture in unusual materials and I’d say stained glass fits in that category. Mosaic Chair 02 references mid-century design with its low, angular frame, a frame that looks like a stained glass window. Inspired by “the abstract nature of stained glass windows,” the faceted chair is made up of half inch frosted tempered glass that is inset into a black, auto paint-covered steel frame. The goose down cushions are covered in lamb shearling that’s dyed red. The hard angles of the frame are balanced out with the softness of the cushions, making this one functional piece of art.

French designer Barnabé Ribay created the TAIJITU candelabra inspired by the Chinese philosophy that life is based on a fundamental value that consists of two principles both complementary and opposed. This is probably more widely known as yin and yang, which is just one of many visual representations of Taijitu.

Colorful, Tactile Furniture by Humberto da Mata

Young Brazilian furniture designer Humberto da Mata has worked with the Campana Brothers and showed some of his pieces in Milan during Salone del Mobile. His pieces are rooted in an exploration of texture and building layers with different materials. I love the colorful, playful nature of his pieces, especially the glove mirrors and stool. They’re kind of creepy, too.
