Things to covet – September

Here are the objects, furniture, and pieces that caught our eye this month

1.  Aluminium sculpture by HK Living

Designed in a totem-like form, this aluminium sculpture by HK Living is designed to stand out and adds character to your space. Its sturdy black aluminium form is solid, yet playful. Available at Urban Nest.

2. QLOCKTWO MOON

The QLOCKTWO MOON presents the passage of time through a lunar cycle in 28 recurring intervals, capturing the beauty of the moon with every glance. This handcrafted masterpiece features 14 precisely crafted prisms that display the current phase of the moon, each with high-quality surfaces finished with precious metals such as platinum, gold and moon gold. The MOON 90 is available with three fronts – DAWN (silver), MIDNIGHT (blue) and NIGHTFALL (dark grey) – and can be tailored to customer specifications, adding an impressive presence to any room.

3. Ambiance collection by Atelier Tapis Rouge 

The rugs of Atelier Tapis Rouge’s Ambiance collection evoke a carnet de voyage through fine yarns and refined craftsmanship. Each piece captures a wide range of textures, colours and places, paying tribute to the slow and meticulous art of observation – in stark contrast to the rapid pace of contemporary life.

4. VENINI Pesca collection

The romantic Pesca collection blends an elegant vintage air with a contemporary touch. The fluid and transparent lines of the vases reflect the beauty of dawn and sunset colours, offering a kaleidoscope of pink and orange hues, inspired by enchanting destinations such as the ‘Pink City’, Jaipur, and Namibia’s Namib-Naukluft National Park.

5. TRICIA PAOLUCCIO X JWANA HAMDAN Maitha Chair

The Maitha outdoor lounge chair exudes a bold aesthetic with an elegant and cosy vibe, designed by Lorenza Bozzoli. Featuring a comfortable seat cushion and a distinctive roll-shaped backrest, it comes in two versions, with or without armrests, and is crafted from robust iroko wood for stability and support. Available at Purity.
