Things to Covet – December 2024

Here are this month’s picks to enhance your gatherings

1. Tahiti picnic basket by Buccellati

Andrea Buccellati and Patricia Urquiola continue their creative collaboration with a modern reinterpretation of the classic picnic basket, blending the Maison Buccellati’s signature craftsmanship with Urquiola’s contemporary design sensibility. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of bamboo and silver, the design playfully reimagines the traditional picnic basket, with subtle nods to the aesthetics of classic Asian basketry, resulting in a refined yet whimsical masterpiece. The exterior showcases a sophisticated interweaving of leather in elegant beige and brown tones, while the interior structure is crafted from brass and lined with soft suede fabric. The set features silverware from Buccellati’s Tahiti collection and porcelain pieces created in partnership with Ginori 1735. Available at Buccellati Boutique, Dubai Mall

2.  Diagramma by Minotti

Designed by Giampiero Tagliaferri, the Diagramma collection of coffee tables emerges as dynamic and versatile, designed to become iconic centrepieces of the living room. Defined by irregular shapes and multifaceted designs, these tables serve as functional support surfaces while doubling as sculptural spatial elements. A high metal band encircles the upper and lower surfaces, breaking strategically to form storage compartments. This interplay of solids and voids, combined with a mix of materials, creates a striking visual impact and enhances the overall aesthetic. With harmonious geometries, the Diagramma tables are both decorative and multi-functional, making them ideal for intimate residential settings. Available at Minotti Dubai

3. GUBI Multi-Lite  portable lamp

GUBI’s latest edition of Louis Weisdorf’s iconic Multi-Lite design transforms the sculptural lamp into a portable, modern marvel. Collaborating closely with the designer’s family, GUBI has reimagined every detail of the Multi-Lite table lamp, creating a more compact version equipped with a USB charging port and touch-activated, three-level dimmer. The signature ring encircling the lamp now serves as a convenient handle, making the lightweight design effortlessly portable. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, this versatile lamp is an ideal companion for outdoor gatherings and al fresco evenings, seamlessly blending functionality with timeless design. Available at The Bowery Company
