Novecento is a collection of LED table lamps inspired by art deco. They are proposed in two versions, one in black Marquinia, the other in white Carrara. Different marbles are available on request. The thick marble discs rest on triangular, almost symbolic, brass structure. Even when the light is off, Novecento enhances the marble as a piece of furniture, with its unique veins and unrepeatable speckles that show on the shiny surface.

Novecento is available on Milkster.com—a marketplace for goods direct from the makers.

As the name suggests, the Everest Table gets inspiration from the world of mountaineering to renovate with aerodynamic tension and a bit of irony all the interiors that are close to DIY and informal style. Climbing is also a reference for its athletic values: the economy of effort, the use of essential but performing materials, the epic to peak the summit. 

The legs are made of steel laser-cut sheet and recall the form of a pickaxe, while the elastic rope, the same that is used for bungee jumping, is used to tighten the structure. The plywood table top, covered with HPL, drifts apart from luxury settings and privileges everyday contexts and usages.

Vertere is a striking occasional side table, turned from solid timber, projects an exaggerated sculptural silhouette. The Vertere design would work well as a focal design point in a room. The inspiration for this table is the technique with which it was crafted: turning via lathe. We wanted to explore the art of wood turning and see how extreme we could be, with the Vertere being our result. A demonstration of major skill and detail—the piece is a strong and pure example of the power found in shape and traditional construction methods, perfect in any setting!

Geometric came from the idea of constructing a table made from multiple lengths of wood using the end grain of the timber to form the table top. This rough idea then developed into a design that used prisms of wood instead of just rectangular strips. Once we got started with this idea we could tell it was going to be a great looking piece. 

The handmade Geometric table is a labour of love and each triangle that makes up the top has been precisely cut and planed to the right angle and dimensions so that as a group, the shapes lock together and perfectly form their hexagonal structure.

Mass produced green glass bottles will get new individual shapes when designer Klaas Kuiken works with them. He blows them one by one into unique objects. The Bottle DD Model uses this technique of glassblowing, via the employment of an oven and an air compressor, to make new and exciting forms from what was once refuse.

Last month our Founder - Sal Matteis - had the pleasure to be interviewed by industry expert, Steven G of the Miami-based interior design studio Interiors By Steven G. 

We had a lot of fun talking with Steven and thought it'd be useful to our readers to hear what Steven had to think about how we are revolutionizing interior design. 

From the original interview: 

' As consumers we were frustrated because we were being continually exposed to mass-branded home design - we call it a 'home with no face'. It is ironic that as a society we are used to paying high prices for pieces of design where so little is known about what's behind the product. I mean, we place this furniture in our homes - the most personal space we have.''

The furniture by Berlin-based label kimidori has a good few stories to tell. Made from upcycled shipping pallets, this is wood that has traveled far and wide, spent its former life hitching rides on ships and trucks, and helped deliver goods all over the world. The 45º Stool looks different from each and every angle, it loves to be put on the big stage: perfect as seating, a side table or just as a design object. The stool comes in four colours: all natural, white, gray or black pigmented linseed oil.

The 45º Stool is available on Milkster.com—a marketplace for goods direct from the makers.

This seat and magazine rack was developed as a project during a 'Visual Language' course. The most important aspect of my design was to play with shape and structures — this is complimented by the aim to create a practical, functional and usable product. As a result, we're left with a colorful and useful seat, that is discreet in its multi-functionality!
