Young, Dutch designer Jólan van der Wiel uses a unique process to make these spikey candle holders that resemble cavern formations. Made exclusively for Paris-based Galerie Gosserez , van der Wiel uses a process similar to that of his Gravity Stools, which we’ve already featured here . He uses a contraption that’s essentially a “magnet machine” that makes these objects through the action of a strong magnetic field with a paste that’s a mixture of resin and iron oxides.

Paris-based designer Samuel Accoceberry created a collection of rugs for Chevalier Edition called Tresse , which is French for plait, i.e. braid. Meant to reflect “the spirit of plaiting and hand work,” the series uses a traditional hand-knotting technique to achieve the contemporary braided look of the design. The bold look changes shape depending on the size of the rug and visually the pattern morphs as well

Lebanon-born, France-based designer Charles Kalpakian created a collection of furniture and lamps for the Paris-based manufacturer Dar en Art . The pieces reflect a modern aesthetic as well as a bit of the designer’s Lebanese roots. I love how the oblong shapes that make up the folding screen are carried over to the stitching on the bench and the openings on the lanterns

The Louxor lamp reminds me of those bug zappers, except this one attracts design enthusiasts, not bugs.

Paul Bellila is a freelance designer based in Paris, France who has just designed a series of furnishings and is part of the French collaborative website called L’edito .
