Lighting inspired by an Icelandic waterfall, an inviting bath and a squidgy sofa. Here are the products that caught my eye this week
The Waterfall chandelier has been created exclusively by O&A London for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN this statement piece, made from chiselled bronze with extra white art glass, can be hung as single or multiple units.
Waterfall was inspired by the Haifoss waterfall in Iceland, a dramatic natural wonder where the water cascades down 122m carving into the ancient rock.
Max Rollitt has added the Pembroke bed (above) to his bespoke collection. Pembroke draws on a typically French style of bed frame characterised by a high and often panelled headboard and footboard, the design creates an opportunity to add colour, texture and comfort through upholstery.
The first iteration of the Pembroke Bed was made for an interiors project; one of the guest bedrooms was in the eaves of the seventeenth-century farmhouse, there wasn’t the height for a four-poster, but Max still wanted the bed to have a sense of presence so designed the Pembroke.
Gilles & Boissier, the Parisian architecture and interior design agency, has launched a new collection of furniture that combines classical French motifs with contemporary craftsmanship. The collection includes occasional chairs, side tables, cushions and lighting. (shown here the Isis armless chair, available with leather or fabric upholstery)
Tom Dixon launched his new FAT and PLUMP sofas in Copenhagen during Three Days of Design. The FAT, fully modular sofa allows for endless configurations, while PLUMP (shown) is well rounded with an implied squidginess in a simple, minimal design.
Lodes, the family-run Venetian lighting company, has launched Oblò, a pendant lighting collaboration with Italian architect Paola Navone – OTTO Studio. The light takes inspiration from maritime design – the Italian name, Obló translates to ‘porthole’ in English.
The pendant light is made with Pyrex glass, its intense luminosity diffused through finishes including metallic blue, silk white, glossy smoke and transparent. The knotted cable is also a nod to the light’s nautical inspiration. Navone wanted the cord to resemble naval ropes tied to buoys. The fabric cable conceals the electric wiring that threads into the pendant to power the LED light.
Drummonds has added to its family of cast-iron bathtubs with Newton, characterised by a playful nod to mid-century Scandinavian design.
Generously rounded at the base, the bath’s body is subtly fluted to a broad rolled edge at the top. Upswept lines at the sides of the tub give a feeling of lightness that belies its solid cast-iron construction that sits on four oversized bun feet.
