verona_collection_anna_jame.jpg
London-based Anna James carefully restores twentieth century furniture before adding her hand-painted designs to complete the transformation. Her current collection, Verona, is a mix of graffiti, brightly coloured dots, modern art and pinstripes. James pays attention to the insides of drawers and cupboards that contrast subtly with the vivid exteriors.

Authentic Belgian Creativity was promoted in Milan’s Zona Tortona by the likes of Bram Boo who showcased his new line of furniture called Homeland and Buzzispace, a company that uses recycled plastics in room dividers, lampshades and memo boards. Jaga had very sleek and cheery radiators on display, the anti-Heatwaves, as it were, and there were some great pieces by Katrien Van Hulle of Colect.

+ Lovegrove & Repucci are launching the new London Delft series of porcelain dinnerware. The five-piece settings bring the London streets to the table in an unusual, yet traditional, manner.

+ We are looking forward to seeing Bev Hisey’s new hand-knotted rugs at ICFF. The rugs are inspired by oil paintings her grandmother did in the 1950s and are as effective as wallhangings as floorcoverings.

met_fold.jpg
+ This origami-inspired dish by Rachel Young called Fold is a polypropylene fruit bowl (or centerpiece for dry articles) that has been carefully hand-folded.

+ The Margaretae sofa by the Central Design Unit was a comfortable hit at the Salone Satellite.

Romolo Stanco showed pieces from the new Reflections On My Grandmother collection from Nonesiste in Zona Tortona’s Nhow Hotel. Grandmother is a very simple glass table that combines new technologies with baroque lace decoration. Killthequeen is a mirror that focuses on continuous geometric lines, and the Quelcheresta lighting shows “what remains” – the section of the lighting when the lamp shape is removed. The Gulp and DinDon chairs are after the jump.
