Structures has presented S7 at Euroluce

08/05/2013 - There are over a thousand designs of lamp and S7 offers at least as many. This new lighting design by Structures, developed by the former sailor Nicolas Pichelin combines freedom and performance. At once a lamp, reading light and bedside light, this useful sculpture offers a versatile design solution which imposes nothing but offers a whole host of possibilities. Made from a flexible tubular structure, together with an interchangeable lamp head that can be rotated by 360 degrees, S7 takes on whatever shape its user chooses. Plug&Play S7 is designed in two parts which are simply connected together (by a system of patented and hardwearing electromagnetic attraction) allowing...

Frottage by Omnidecor: the need to touch, and the essence of nature

07/05/2013 - In our contemporary life, the lack of a direct contact with the elements makes it necessary to revise our relationship with nature through objects, environments and furniture made in sustainable and naturally inspired materials. This is why OmniDecor, relying on the sensitivity of the Setsu & Shinobu Ito Studio, has further confirmed glass as an ancient but ever renewed material, to experiment with effects and atmospheres which are both hi-tech and charged with the spirit of nature. The distinctively eclectic DecorFlou Design by OmniDecor, already established on the market with specific patterns by international designers, was the perfect launching platform, with a pattern...

07/05/2013 - Many news for Magis also this year on the occasion of the Milano Design Week. For the first time, Konstantin Grcic has designed the stand.

Ritzwell: Oriental design at Milan Design Week Claude, Marcel, Diana by Shinsaku Miyamoto by Ritzwell: Oriental design at Milan Design Week Claude, Marcel, Diana by Shinsaku Miyamoto by

Ritzwell: Oriental design at Milan Design Week

08/05/2013 - The culture of a land is based in a real sense on the land itself—its geography and moods—shaped and molded by the lives of the people who live there, over generations. Design is shaped and nurtured by these same elements, unique to the region that birthed it. The philosophy behind Japanese art for centuries has emphasized quietude more than Western art, with delicate delineation and a high degree of perfection that suggests perhaps a god dwells within. This is well expressed in the tea ceremony and its central elements of wabi and sabi, as well as the simple beauty of traditional architecture such as the Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto. This beauty at rest incorporates,...

Desalto: the novelties presented at iSaloni

07/05/2013 - Element is a strong, poetic collection including a chair, dining tables, low tables and console tables, designed for Desalto by sensitive, visionary Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka. The heart of the Element project lies in the single central support for the table, a metal parallelepiped that is reminiscent in its form of the minerals and quartzes found in nature, positioned at a slant, teetering between the base and the top as though almost challenging the laws of gravity. ​ The Element collection offers an extensive range of items, including dining tables that are rectangular - up to three metres long - round and square in shape, low tables for beside the bed or sofa,...
