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

We collaborated with  MSN  to profile four artists and designers we love who we think embody the same design, content and functional philosophies as the new MSN.com: design with fierce reductionism, sharing real-time trends, and being perfect for touch. We think you’ll love learning more about these four creatives. Experience their work below, and check out the all-new MSN  here . I discovered the work of Thomas Wold back in 2007 . Since then, I’ve been following his work closely and he always seems to surprise me.

If only pizza crust had ZERO calories, then I would eat this pizza every. single. day. By this pizza I mean the white pizza with prosciutto and arugula. It is the heavenliest of all pizza combinations, in my opinion. And it’s super easy to make!

Unless you make your own pizza dough, which I don’t. I buy the dough from the dairy section – not the frozen kind, but you can use that if you choose. Roll it out while the grill is heating – if you have two sides, do one as hot as it goes and the other at medium heat. If just one side, do medium high. Put the dough on the hot side until it bubbles, then flip it over to the medium side. For now, all you need is some mozzarella – I prefer fresh and shredded combined – and the prosciutto. Close the grill and let the cheese melt and the prosciutto brown. Once you are satisfied, bring the pizza in, throw some arugula on top and serve.

SO easy and SO delicious. Of course, if you want to add sauce you can, but I think it’s better without! You can also dress the arugula with a vinaigrette for added flavor.

What is your favorite type of pizza?

One of Milan’s hottest party’s this year was New British at Vivienne Westwood, with a line around the block even after the party was over. The exhibition that everybody was there to see was a collaboration with 100% Design and a celebration of the small-scale, high-quality furniture and lighting production that is seeing somewhat of a revival in the UK. A curated selection of products across a range of design disciplines showcased a new British confidence in high-quality, often local materials and craftsmanship. 100% Design Show Director William Knight said: “We are privileged to work in conjunction with one of the world’s leading fashion innovators

Matali Crasset is no stranger to designing beautiful lighting. Some of Crasset’s lighting is among the most luxurious, and what I like most about this new Stick collection that Crasset has designed for Fabbian Illuminazione , is that it has a bit of a crafty feel to it without losing the luxury or quality. Exploring space, shape and shadow, this lighting collection has it all: a table lamp, a wall lamp, four floor lamps and five suspension lamps featuring four different diffuser shapes
