Roche Bobois

Alessi

The five scents of Alessi Home Fragrances, AHHH, HMMM, GRRR, BRRR and SHHH represent the transformative, cyclical seasons of life – from renewal and blossoming to decay and beyond. The collection is a love song to nature, which is celebrated through the domestic recreation of the seasons: from the regeneration that follows the cold winter and the blossoming of nature in the spring, to the full flowering of the summer and the harvesting of the autumn fruits. These four traditional seasons are joined by a fifth: a spiritual bouquet that connects to your mysterious inner dimension. Also included is a rocking forest oil diffuser, a lava natural stone diffuser, a scented candle that radiates nature’s wonderful aroma, a room spray and even a bottle stopper, candleholder and candle snuffer.

Louis Vuitton

As the latest additions to the Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades collection, these mirrors playfully combine a rigorous geometrical design with subtle bright reflections revealed through the effect of surrounding light. The large Diamond Mirror and the petit Diamond Mirror feature a central octagon that is circled by 25 smaller triangular mirrors and use dazzling geometric design to create poetic reflections. Each mirror’s faceted rigid structure is enveloped in Louis Vuitton’s rich Nomade leather and reveals emblematic contrasting stitching.
 The petits Diamond Mirrors are mounted on a heavyweight silvery brass stand with a marble foot.
With their angular beauty, the Diamond Mirrors gracefully reflect exquisite craftsmanship and bring poetry and enlightenment to any room.

Natuzzi

Capturing the mood and essence of Puglia, the “Agronomist” and the “Oceanographer” collections designed for Natuzzi are furniture collections that form two complete and harmonious lifestyles. They are imagined in four distinct moods to strongly reflect the natural elements of the region: olive oil, cacti and sandstone cliffs and the sea. The leather and ceramic craft traditions and the regional painting and sea culture are also represented. The Agronomist is a contemporary, rustic living room set featuring a chandelier, sofa, side tables, accessories and sideboard closet. The Oceanographer includes a sofa with leather weaving, a cocoon daybed, dinning chair, table, side tables, vases and central pieces all designed with masculine tones reflecting the sea.

Moooi – A Life Extraordinary

The Museum of Extinct Animals is a new collection of fabrics, leathers, carpets and the introduction of MOOOI wallcoverings that bring extinct animals back to life! Among this year’s novelties was 40 Winks, a black leather recliner by IDEO and Marcel Wanders for Moooi. Rethinking an American icon, this lounge chair features an innovative mechanical system that allows for multiple resting angles. Additionally, the Pet Lamps are sweet ceramic lamps with animated features that bring them to life.

Symo Parasols

In collaboration with Belgian company, Symo, Marcel Wanders launched Geisha during Salone del Mobile 2018. The essence of the mystery and secrecy of the Geisha tradition is captured in this outdoor umbrella that embodies the spirit of demure entertainment. Thoughtfully designed around a singular piece, this shade is made of delicate red paper to completely shield those seeking a respite from the sun whether they are reclining poolside or dining at the finest restaurants. Offering a protective shroud, the parasol’s interior features a black and white print of stylised flowers that display the romance Marcel Wanders has become known for around the world. The umbrella is crowned with a metal bow, a special detail that reminds of the geisha’s customary outfits and accessories.
