Things to Covet – October

1. Arcs shade by Muller Van Severen

Arcs, created by the Muller Van Severen duo, is a lampshade made of solid steel with a mirror finish. The design features a continuous chain of curving arches that together combine to form the shade. Its sculpture creates an intimate atmosphere by playing with light and shape to generate spatial volume. Arcs can be used either as a table, wall or pendant lamp, making it versatile for all home spaces. Available at HAY.dk

2. 1970s-influenced Dudet living room collection by Patricia Urquiola

With its own conscious soul, this collection encompasses an armchair and a two-seat settee. The structure comprises a large seat cushion and two curved tubular supports that form the legs and arms. The elegant design features polyurethane foam with a certain percentage of polyols derived from organic sources as padding in the legs and seat. To make recycling of the components easier, the metal structure may be detached from the padding. Available at Cassina

3. Tung by contemporary British designer John Astbury

A compact piece, Tung is endowed with a sense of monolithic strength and lacquered with a glossy surface. The side table is supported by three curved legs that represent the ancient pillars found in old architectural designs. Made using FSC-certified wood. Available at &Tradition

4. Truffle pouf by NaughtOne

Part of the MillerKnoll collective, NaughtOne has debuted the Truffle pouf, an innovative, cheeky, functional seat and footrest. Its contemporary design is characterised by smooth, flowing curves and distinguished by its sculptural silhouette, enabling it to enhance any space with its distinctive form. Bio-Pur foam is used in the pouf’s construction; it has a softer outer for increased comfort and a finer inner core for stability. Available at NaughtOne and MillerKnoll certified dealers

5. Hide&Seek Door by Pietro Russo

Pietro Russo has created the Hide&Seek Door, a sideboard with doors, shelves and a rotating half-cylinder composed of glossy or opaque lacquered wood. Included in the unit are push and pull doors, satin brass accents and a wooden shelf lacquered in the same finish. Other versions include a double-sided door opening and a mini version.
