Showcased at the Stockholm Furniture Fair terminal week, here's a appear at what's on offer.
If the Tearoom Club Chair was a report inwards minimalist luxury, the novel Tearoom Lounge Chair as well as Tearoom Sofa offering elegant proof of the study’s success. Nick Ross’ 2 latest designs are natural evolutions offering an indulgent agency to relax; the lounge chair with its wider, lower seat, as well as the sofa comfortably accommodating multiple guests. Demonstrating the appeal of simple, geometric forms, the Tearoom series pairs the luxurious experience of total upholstery with a beautifully construct clean silhouette. So refined as well as elegant, this is definitely 1 of my favourite novel designs for 2019.
As a large fan of Theresa Rand's playful Échasse Series, I'm excited to catch a novel improver to the range, the Échasse Hurricane. Completing the poetic trilogy with an ethereal human face that reimagines the classic elegance of drinking glass vases as well as bowls with fragile legs (échasse is French for stilts), the novel pattern features a clever, orbital shape. Designed equally a sanctuary for tealight candles that prevents breezes from extinguishing the circular drops of light, the stunning Échasse Hurricane could only hold out the ultimate amplification of the Nordic term 'hygge'.
Originally conceived to serve a broad arrive at of needs at Menu Space, MENU’s showroom/creative co-working space/café inwards Copenhagen, the Harbour Chair pattern has expanded to answer to all kinds of needs inwards somebody as well as world spaces. The latest rendition – the Harbour Side Chair – adds a novel chapter to the Harbour story.

Beautiful on their ain or amongst Harbour Chairs as well as Harbour Column Tables, the Harbour Side Chairs buy the farm on the collection’s elegant minimalism as well as ergonomic, comfort-driven experience.
Other novel improver include the Harbour Bar & Counter Side Chair (below) as well as Harbour Side Chair with Swivel.
Proving that inspiration tin dismiss come upwards from the most unexpected places, it was on a see to New York City that a sure vintage-style pendant repeatedly caught the eyes of Norm Architects’ founders Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen as well as Kasper Rønn equally they strolled Lower Manhattan’s Financial District. The shape – born inwards the 1920s – before long underwent a modern makeover inwards the designers’ imaginations, becoming the fashionable novel Bank Pendant. At in 1 lawsuit nostalgic as well as novel, the pattern pairs big-city glamour with an intimate feel of warmth.
Norm Architects’ conduct hold on the retro pendant reflects the designers’ focus on functional, simple, as well as timeless objects that exit null to a greater extent than to add together or conduct hold away. In the Bank Pendant, ornamentation has been removed to expose the essence of the omni-light form, which generates 320-degree illumination. The pairing of opal or smoke mouth-blown drinking glass with dark pulverization coated aluminium creates beautiful contrasts, with gently curved edges throughout the pattern creating the soft, unified human face Norm Architects are known for.
“There is something unexpected nigh the shape of the drinking glass that makes the production interesting from an aesthetic quest of view. It is to a greater extent than intriguing than a perfect sphere as well as takes you lot dorsum to a unlike era.” – Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen, Norm Architects
In creating the Bath Series, Norm Architects gear upwards out to transform the bath into a blissful respite, as well as equally you lot volition catch from these novel products, they conduct hold sure enough succeeded.

The Bath Series also offers a toothbrush holder, a lather pump, as well as a lavatory brush – all 3 available inwards both freestanding as well as wall-mounted editions. Norm Architects’ minimalist, human-centred sensibility shines through each accessory, with the designs responding to real-life needs piece maintaining a sophisticated, modern expression. With purposeful, meticulously executed details, the Bath Series elements are refined notwithstanding adaptable, deeply thought-through as well as delightfully simple. I'll conduct hold 1 of each!
MENU introduces the Cast Sconce Wall Lamp past times designers Tom Chung as well as Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Murphy, the duo behind the directly recognisable, industrial Cast Pendant. For this improver they conduct hold adapted the pocket-sized but mighty shade concept for wall applications, with a presence that rivals its functionality. The compact novel Cast Sconce Wall Lamp unites triangular, linear as well as circular elements into a sophisticated geometric silhouette that contributes to the room’s ambiance both when the light is on as well as off.
Continuing the pendants’ graphic expression, the Cast Sconce Wall Lamp also incorporates novel components to flora a distinct identity. The thoughtfully designed brushed brass vertical bar as well as mounting plate create an engaging shape that naturally assimilates into the décor of whatever space. I dearest it!
