Alexander Joseph have just launched the world’s first luxury cordless lamps. The decision to create the range of lamps came following a fruitless search by the founder, Mark Robinson. He explains, “around a year ago my wife and I looked for decorative cordless lamps, all we could find were entry level or novelty varieties with very limited endurance. I spoke to several interiors’ organisations, lighting companies and retailers, then decided there was a place in the market for Luxury Cordless Lamps”. The patent pending technology used to power lamps provides at least 50 hours of continuous use before the need for recharging. Put another way, 3-4 weeks of normal use. Hidden in a sealed base, the technology is discrete and robust. The company have designed their own LED bulb, preferring to house the drivers in the base rather than within the bulb itself. This allows Alexander Joseph to provide a consistent soft light equivalent to a traditional 60w bulb. The idea has always been to hide the technology so lamps look as decorative as other luxury brands, but without the cord and plug.
Atelier MIRU delivers to daring individuals with an artistic flair and appreciation for the mastery of hand-made craftsmanship. The Resurrection Collection of bespoke, painted furniture by Atelier MIRU was born from a poignant moment in the artist’s life, which became the main inspiration in her creative process. All Eyes on You was created exclusively as part of this collection. Hand painted in oil, the mirror is reminiscent of the human iris and alludes to its various anthropological symbolic values. The eye is not only a gate to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness, but also enlightenment and mindfulness among many. Through its magnified and in-your-face quality, the piece emphasises and deliberates these connotations. By enticing both the visual and emotional, this mirror will easily become the focal point of any luxury interior.

Since 2006, eggersmann has been busy realising the idea of manufacturing and further developing a collection of kitchens and equipment which can hardly be matched for its timelessness and minimalism.

Launched with 35 taps which form the Atrio Collection and sharing one unified look of elegance and precision, Atrio is symbolic of a new era of design that challenges conventions in order to create something truly iconic. The fundamental, consistent design is inspired by GROHE’s original best-selling ATRIO collection incepted more than 10 years ago. Atrio’s sleek, cylindrical design gives a timeless elegance, enhanced by a form that measures the same diameter from the base to the top. This design feat is replicated across all taps within the collection. This is a first for tap design which required technical experts to achieve new levels of engineering perfection, to ensure both form and function worked in harmony. The spout itself curves in the perfect arc of a semi-circle.
From the bold cross handles with subtle ‘H’ and ‘C’ markings, to the slim cylindrical shape made possible by GROHE’s super-slim cartridge technology, the considered details add up to an object with a reassuring air of design permanence. The Atrio collection delivers versatility in its design, with a number of different sizes and configurations for bathroom basins, baths and showers. The Atrio range is available in three beautiful finishes; Chrome, Supersteel and Brushed Hard Graphite.
Heralding new heights for Brighton’s coastline, the new British Airways i360 observation tower is designed by Marks Barfield Architects, who also designed the iconic London Eye. Working with the architects, Inside Out provided a full furnishing solution for the attraction’s dedicated food and beverage offering, the West Beach Bar & Kitchen. Inspiration for the venue has been derived from the vibrant local culture of Brighton and Hove, channelling an eclectic beach hut vibe which includes art from local artists.
From Inside Out’s UK workshop, existing full circle booths have been reupholstered in ocean-hued blue fluting and refitted with weathered-style limed oak wooden panels, which are reminiscent of the seaside. Bespoke marshmallow stools also handmade in the UK feature in an array of red, purple and yellow, dotted around the bar with Cocktail lounges and sofas in matching fabrics to the local art on the walls. From the main dining room, Thea and Karavan chairs mingle with Italian made Jeeves armchairs in a mixture of natural oak and white-washed wood stains. Complementing the dining chairs, the solid wood table tops continue the weathered look with limed oak finished table tops upon black metal bases.

The Carmen bathroom collection is synonymous with a vintage style that can be appreciated by generations to come. Its soft, classic lines give the entire ensemble character and poise – from vitreous china to bathroom furniture, from taps and brassware to accessories, every detail tells a captivating story. Carefully designed and refined rectangular shapes are used to give distinction and definition. This can be admired in the basins (choose from wall-hung, pedestal, in countertop or vanity options in a variety of sizes) as well as the style of the lower part of the WC toilet.
Committing to a vintage style bathroom doesn’t have to mean compromising on functionality! The new Carmen collection comes with a multitude of storage possibilities. Should you need additional space, add the elegant Carmen column unit, where glass doors add grace and definition. The height-adjustable shelves also make a statement, along with the unit’s LED interior lighting. All the pieces in the Carmen vintage style bathroom collection are made from Roca’s exclusive high quality vitreous china. Its robust enamel provides great durability and resistance and a brilliant shine and white colour that will remain flawless through the passage of time.
Hand-silvered antique mirror glass, made in-house by Saligo Design will enhance your interiors with an authentic, vintage-esque aesthetic. The vintage style of antique mirror is a distinctive product and, being hand-finished in their workshop, is even more versatile. Hand finishing the mirror allows them to control the level of antiquing, creating lighter or heavier levels of distressing overall, and more specifically, when required, around the edges. Vintage comes in a number of different glass types. For the authentic looking drama of antique mirror, they use hand-silvered clear float glass. With bronze and grey glass, they create reflections which are subdued behind a warm or neutral tint; this finish has less contrast and is elegant and understated.

Intended as an iconic element within the office, this armchair designed by ITEM Designworks aims to be the differentiating factor in work spaces. Thanks to its dynamic and open conception, it enables conversation, reading and the use of electronic devices without falling into a relaxed state which impedes your concentration. To maintain the active attitude, we have removed its arms and set at 180 degrees which favours privacy for the user due to its high degree of sound proofing. Badminton invites you to sit, change space and position, leave the independent work desks. “It is a kind of throne that impresses you with its size and shape. The aim is to feel well and comfortable, but always with an active attitude”, explains Javier Cuñado, director of ITEM Designworks. A piece that responds to the changing needs of work spaces, more friendly, illuminated, ventilated and one that promotes communication and work together.
With two types of different bases (in saltire and the other peana with a 70 cm diameter) which enable a 360 degree turn and two different height models (armchair and seat), Badminton was a new challenge for Actiu. In its manufacture it employed new injection techniques and materials never before used in its factories. In short, it is a safe product which will not leave anybody indifferent and where the creation, inspiration and design feel with you.

Designed by Jonathan Hindle FCSD, KI’s new Take5 lounge seating collection is inspired by mid-century styling and designed for today’s workspaces. The collection’s single, two- and three-seater sofas with low or high backs are complemented by ottomans, coffee tables and side tables. Take5’s pillowed shapes and curved armrests are evocative of a teddy bear, instantly inviting the user to feel comfortable and relaxed. The space beneath the armrests also acts as legroom, allowing the user to pivot to the side. The flat top of the armrests double as both a secondary seating surface and a worktop for notebooks or laptops. Each sofa can be fitted with power and USB modules. Matching or contrasting upholstered high backs can be added to reduce distractions, increase a sense of privacy and for noise reduction. These elegant products help to create a more domestic atmosphere in the corporate workspace.
Coinciding with the launch of Take5, KI have teamed up with leading textiles designer, Natasha Marshall, as well as Bute Fabrics, to create exclusive print fabrics to further enhance the collection’s domestic appeal. Two new designs, ‘Vista’ and ‘Pompom’ have been produced in exclusive colourways especially for Take5. Custom colours can also be produced to match a specific project. Jonathan Hindle comments:
“Workplaces are increasingly taking cues from hospitality and domestic environments to create altogether more inviting, comfortable spaces. Untethered from our desks, we now seek spaces that support casual collaboration, or give us an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy office space. Take5 was created to allow workers to find an appropriate work setting for either individual or group tasks, or to simply take ‘5 minutes’ away from work and regenerate.”

THG Paris represents resolutely timeless luxury and the art of living with their range of high end bathroom fittings and accessories. To create this new collection, the designers Patrick Gilles & Dorothée Boissier found their inspiration in the Aurore lamp revisited for the Baccarat crystal manufacture. Its faceted crystal sides recall the perfect transparency of water. The brassware ‘Les Ondes’ originates from this very creative process. It is made of a 10-faceted base on top of which sits a trident-shaped brace reminiscent of the attribute of Neptune, god of seas and oceans. This collection, both classical and modern, is a perfect fit for a timeless decoration suffused with French elegance. Watch the video to see more.
