This low voltage fixture results from a complex glass blowing technique, which creates a unique spherical shape with a composed collection of inner “satellites”, one of which is an opaque milk white glass bubble that houses a 20 watt xenon lamp.

The 28d fixture is designed to sit on a horizontal surface (a desk, table, shelf, or even the floor). It consists of a single illuminated 28 piece wired to a flexible grey crochet memory cable. The cable is intended to be coiled into a sculptural pattern to provide a cushioned surface on which the glass sits.

The 28d will be available to purchase in the coming months.

Despite the traditional chalet exterior appearance, this is no ordinary chalet in terms of its interior. The interior architecture of this family home in the French Alps is inspired by mountains and valleys in a modern character where organic forms are composed around a strip of wood. The entire program, construction, and interior architecture are all built around the focal point of the chalet – a large room where the family comes together around a warm hearth.

Located in the St. Martin de Belleville in the French Alps, this 530 square meter chalet was completed in December 2011 by designer and interior architect Noé Duchaufour Lawrance. The 530 square meter house runs is a three storey construction where the communal spaces are located on the top floor and are isolated from the private quarters. Additionally, a detached 100 square meter barn area works as a guest house. The main quarters are composed of the main living room on the second floor with a spacious kitchen, yielding a total of 150 square meters, five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and WC, a Jacuzzi area and a game room. The barn has two bedrooms, two lounge areas and two bathrooms.

MAMBA shelf/ desk by Victor Vasilev

The Mamba project majestically combines form, function and material to give rise to a piece with a sensual feel and look, a piece that seems to materialise from and disappear into the wall, a piece which springs from the designer’s considerations about the material, its intrinsic and extrinsic properties, and the way it is processed. The result of the idea of a continuous strip which traces an organic figure on the wall is a new type of furnishing complement , a unique blend of shelf, desk and table with LED light source.

Old rock fans never die and Oscar Tusquets loves to demonstrate this. This architect, artist —the drawing of the dama molliniana shows it— and writer, has designed nearly everything during his long career —his work has its own encyclopaedia, compiled by Juli Capella and published by Electa— and in particular many chairs, some of them much admired, but possibly none so beautiful as Gaulino. In this piece —says Tusquets— some critic detected his well-known admiration for Salvador Dalí but, when he saw it finished, it seemed to him that the clearest influences came from Antoni Gaudí and Carlo Mollino. This is why it is called Gaulino. He designed it in 1987 and since then it has become a point of reference in Spanish design. “I learned and enjoyed it very much and I consider it one of my best works. Although its appearance is totally artisanal, it was my first really industrial project in wood; that was when I realised what machines could do.”

The table is available in solid ash frame with ash veneered or glass top in two sizes 2.4 and 3 metres x 1.2

The Gaulino chair is in solid ash with leather seat. Ash is offered in natural, stained black, or stained oak.

Furniture as sculpture

The Team by Wellis collection features furnishing systems that establish a conscious relationship with the built space. Designer Kurt Erni was keen to ensure that the product development of the new sideboard system followed the same structural and formal solutions found in architecture. Contemporary building design, which acted as a source of inspiration for the new storage object, embodies not only today’s flexible, open and individualistic lifestyles. At the forefront of his systematic design work were the originality, flamboyance and visibility of eye-catching buildings. Memorable uniqueness. Kurt Erni has created a refined sideboard family comprising unequal-sided triangular and rectangular shapes that, unlike some spectacular architectural sculptures, offer a compelling coherence.

New approach to orderliness

MONOLIT is a family of 17 core elements that combine and recombine to offer virtually infinite scope and un-heard of design possibilities for exacting spatial solutions. The heterogeneous shapes and sizes of the elements lend themselves to integration within virtually any home situation. Passages, corridors and cor-ners can be furnished with ease thanks to Monolit, which enhances their usefulness. Despite the new side-board’s compact dimensions, it is stunningly cavernous inside. The various storage depths offered by the elements provide a better overview of the contents, as well as easier access. The asymmetrically divided doors open to reveal a new approach to orderliness.

New flow patterns in the room

MONOLIT rethinks the room by discreetly emerging from walls as a standing or hanging object; alternatively, its sculptural qualities mean it can be used as a free-standing room divider. The highly expressive clarity of the new sideboard family is emphasised by the incredibly precise workmanship and personalisation options such as refined looking tops in glass or marble. At first glance, these asymmetrical and unusual items of storage furniture come across as rather flamboyant. Arranged, however, as a combination of core and supplementary elements, they provide new ways of apportioning space, which in turn gives rise to new harmonious flow patterns. New spatial settings for enhanced creative freedom.
