Every year Zanotta releases at least one piece that makes my personal want list, and this year is no exception. The Elica table grabs my attention with it's Carrara mable table top and twisted base that harks from the ever popular mid-century era that's currently being given more attention by TV shows like Mad Men. Zanotta is available from Studio Italia.
Several years ago we coined the phrase 'Glamping' to refer to our idea of camping; taking our favourite designer furniture pieces with us to the great outdoors. Clearly our idea has reached as far as Denmark, where the good folks at Normann Copenhagen have this year launched their new Camping Chair and Daybed, with the idea of adding a touch of class to outdoor pursuits. Using minimal materials the series focuses on craftsmanship and traditional techniques that don't involve any form of screws or nails, instead using notching and leather webbing to create each piece by hand. Normann Copenhagen is available locally at Design Denmark.
Multi-national , Israel, New York and now Paris based artist and interior designer Liana Yaroslavsky presented her high art meets interiors collaboration in the Zona Tortona area in Milan. We were put onto Liana by a NZ based showroom who have recently discovered her, after what we've seen in Milan we think they're onto something great. Liana's pieces use rare and often one of a kind materials, such as hand blown Murano glass chandeliers that are dismantled and fused into place within plexiglass boxes, ultimately creating gallery worthy presentations that act as coffee tables that feel frozen in time.
