Where Curves Meet Craft and Light

BELLHOP BY FLOS

Developed by Flos in collaboration with British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Bellhop Glass expands the iconic Bellhop family into a refined collection of suspension and ceiling lamps in blown glass, designed to offer both diffused ambient light and precise illumination from below.

When a design achieves widespread recognition, its form naturally becomes archetypal. Bellhop follows this trajectory, reinterpreted here through the softness and depth of blown glass, which lends the lamp a lighter, more tactile presence while preserving its distinctive silhouette.

The suspension version is defined by a carefully engineered double opening: one at the top to house the electrical components, and a second at the bottom, framed by a coloured aluminium ring that directs a focused, non-dazzling cone of light onto the surface below. Light expands evenly within the glass body, creating a warm, homogeneous glow throughout the space. A painted metal cylinder emerging from the top references the original Bellhop design, while the lateral exit of the electrical cable introduces a subtle, choreographic detail that transforms a technical element into an intentional design gesture.

KAMEH

Kameh Design Miami

KAMEH 0.6 draws inspiration from the desert rose, a natural crystal formation of gypsum and barite, whose layered petals balance delicacy with endurance. This duality informs the collection, where crystalline forms become functional sculptures that feel unearthed rather than made.

The works explore scale, texture, and materiality: charred timber evokes both tactile memory and resilience, its matte surface strengthened by fire, while raw stones and mirrored plinths introduce reflection, depth, and shifting perspectives. Small-scale handcrafting in the UAE ensures each piece carries subtle irregularities, celebrating human touch alongside natural influence.

KAMEH 0.6 transforms mineral growth into domestic design, bridging landscape and interior. Objects invite contemplation through contrast, intimate detail versus expansive presence, permanence versus impermanence. Each sculpture becomes a portal to the desert, where material, craft, and space converge into a thoughtful, sculptural experience that embodies memory, movement, and quiet strength.

LAGO

Lago presents the Mezz’aria armchair, designed by Daniele Lago, exploring lightness and suspension through a pronounced cantilever, where structure appears to defy gravity while remaining solid and reassuring. Its quilted padding wraps the seat and backrest, combining comfort with visual refinement.

The dynamic silhouette and unique leg inclination give the chair a distinctive presence, emphasising innovation in both form and function. Designed for versatility, Mezz’aria adapts seamlessly to residential and contract spaces, maintaining its sculptural integrity across different environments. Available in a range of finishes and upholstery, the armchair responds to varied stylistic interpretations, balancing technical precision with elegance. Mezz’aria exemplifies a furniture language where form, comfort, and materiality converge, creating a piece that is simultaneously functional, expressive, and sculptural.

GIOPATO

Giopato & Coombes presented Mini Maxi at their Paris gallery, the collection brought together a constellation of works, during Maison&Objet in January 2026. The presentation explored how changes in scale transform the perception of light and space.

The collection featured Bolle Small and Bolle Large, with scale as its central concept. In the Mini versions, light appeared as delicate bubbles: compact, intimate forms meant to be discovered up close. In contrast, the Maxi versions stretched into the suspended space, occupying the room with a slow, orbiting presence that engaged with the environment as a whole.

Through this contrast, Bolle offered two complementary experiences: leaning in to appreciate intricate detail, or stepping back to take in the full spatial effect. Scale became more than a measurement, it became a tool to shape intensity, presence, and atmosphere, making the collection both visually captivating and conceptually expressive.

Designed by La Récréation for MARIONI, the Palm series is part of the Notorious collection, which explores a playful reinterpretation of 1930s–40s seaside architecture through furniture and lighting. Combining brass structures, lacquered wood shelves, and ceramic elements, the collection creates pieces of varying heights and proportions that are both functional and visually striking.

The Palm floor lamp exemplifies this approach. Alternating truncated conical ceramic elements in contrasting aquamarine and black, it rests on a brushed brass base and is crowned by a spherical satin glass diffuser. The combination of geometric forms, rich materials, and contrasting tones creates a light that is both elegant and original, while maintaining a reassuring aesthetic quality.

Ceramic components are available in multiple glaze combinations, allowing each lamp to be customised to suit residential or hospitality settings. As with all pieces in the Notorious collection, careful attention to detail and adherence to safety standards ensure a product that is both beautiful and enduring.

MUSOLA 

Musola made its debut at Maison&Objet Paris 2026 with a selection of furniture that explores the intersection of structure, material, and adaptability, proposing a design language conceived to move seamlessly between outdoor and interior spaces. The collection is defined by clean geometries, sculptural volumes, and a careful balance between technical performance and visual lightness.

Tables, seating systems, and sofas reveal a consistent approach to design, where modularity and proportion guide each piece. Ceramic surfaces, metal structures, and upholstered elements are combined to create furniture that feels both robust and refined, capable of adapting to different settings without losing its identity.

Designed in collaboration with studios such as Yonoh, Santiago Sevillano, and Carlos Guijarro, the collection reflects a shared focus on versatility and clarity of form. Together, the pieces create a cohesive landscape of contemporary furniture, where durability, comfort, and design precision define a timeless approach to living across spaces.
