Italian Institute of Culture in Paris hosted the launch of Haute Couture installation by Servomuto, curated by Margherita Ratti. Hôtel de Galliffet was transformed into a hall of art with seven oversized floor lamps paying homage to the visionary spirit of Parisian Haute Couture – the synthesis of different cultures and subcultures that acts as a bridge between tradition and innovation.

Intérieur aux Aubergines by Cristina Celestino for Maison Matisse.
After the success of their first limited series and first permanent La Musique ceramics collection, Maison Matisse has expanded their collections with pieces by Milanese designer Cristina Celestino. A sofa, an armchair, a folding screen, two coffee tables, a rug, wallpaper and a selection of home accessories are the stars of this permanent collection, inspired by the iconic still-life Intérieur aux aubergines (1911), regarded as one of Henri Matisse’s most decorative artworks. Like a living painting, Celestino‘s archetypal pieces interpret the work’s most striking elements in three dimensions, through a set of screens that are superimposed in-depth, mirroring the pictorial composition imagined by Matisse.
In the likeness of Matisse’s works, these objects seek to stand the test of time: to be cherished, kept and passed on from generation to generation.
Initiated by the fourth generation of Henri Matisse’s family to celebrate, pass on and share the boldness and values of this universal artist, Maison Matisse offers an interpretation of the painter’s creative world, celebrating shapes and colours.
Eclipse Transience Mirrors by Lex Pott & David Derksen.
Lamina Lights by Tijs Gilde.
Lex Pott & David Derksen and Tijs Gilde at Transnatural Gallery.
Amsterdam gallery Transnatural showcased five new works by designers who take material innovation as a starting point of their creative process. By harnessing sustainable production methods and technological innovations, Transnatural cultivates forward-thinking ways to (re-) design our living spaces.
Two standouts are the ongoing series by Dutch designers Lex Pott & David Derksen, who unveiled new versions of the Eclipse Transience Mirrors. The Eclipse models celebrate the beauty of the natural oxidizing process inherent in mirrors, which the duo accelerate and manipulate, resulting in handmade pieces that illustrate the various stages of oxidation through a gradient of brown – gold – silver tones.
Meanwhile, Tijs Gilde’s Lamina Light features a variety of luminous elements that form a narrative through his unique fascination with pattern and colour. Within a layered, modular structure of recycled acrylic material, Lamina amplifies colour pattern intensity. The design also explores new possibilities for more efficient production and recycling techniques. Two new models were launched at M&O digital fair 2020.
Verso Collection by David/ Nicolas for Pierre Frey.
In 2017, French decorating house Pierre Frey acquired one of France’s leading manufacturers of furniture, expanding its range of products.
Sam Baron, Pierre Frey’s newly appointed artistic director for furniture, worked with Lebanese designers David Raffoul and Nicolas Moussallem of design studio david/nicolas. The duo focused on the theme of travel and the great transatlantic liners by the likes of René Prou, boldly reinterpreting his codes to create the collection.
Verso responds to new lifestyles with both functional and modular design. A link between decoration and function, the collection demonstrates an innovative approach by mixing classical, contemporary and futuristic elements in a timeless aesthetic.
