GET YOUR PAws ON DIVINE sAVAGEs’ NEw COLLECTION - ‘BELOVED BEAsTs’!
Advertisement
We’re celebrating those fierce creatures who bring joy into our lives...pets! Whether four-legged and furry, or exotic and scaly, the new collection by Divine Savages delivers three new wallpapers along with their signature Divine and Savage twist. The ‘Cat-titude’ motif has been a key character within the wonderful world of Divine Savages since it launched, and now the brands has embossed this iconic emblem to walls! Fully embracing their love for witty maximalism, their new Cat-titude wallpaper is at once unapologetically eccentric, and at the same time uniquely sophisticated. Inspired by London’s most unusual pets, this detail-rich wallpaper revisits a bonkers, bygone era where you could encounter an array of exotic animals not just at the zoo, but on the streets! Beautifully illustrated, you’ll discover something new each time you look. Lions, leopards and lemurs stroll casually through Regency inspired streets and parklands as they cross paths with other bewildered pets for a playful, pictorial print. Divine Savages have also reimagined the traditional technique of flocking for their Poochi wallpaper! This dreamlike print is a cheeky twist on a classic polka-dot pattern, with fluffy, tactile dog motifs dancing across a sumptuously textured base - it’s just begging to be stroked! The Poochi wallpaper brings a playful, luxurious finish to your walls, creating a sensory, cloud-like backdrop that will coordinate with any interior design scheme.

Synonymous with nature, each design in Tom Raffield’s handcrafted product range is handshaped using sustainable FSC wood into sculptural pieces of art using a pioneering and ecological form of steam bending.
Inspired by the striking formations of smooth sea-eroded cliff faces and ridged headlands that distinguish the north coast of Cornwall, the Leven Lighting Range features two drum pendants, two flush ceiling lights (a highly-anticipated addition to the brand’s recently launched Flush Lighting Range), plus a wall and tripod floor light. Each new Leven luminaire, named after the Cornish word for ‘level’, celebrates pairedback structural beauty with its tiered, timeless drum shape. handcrafted using brass rivets and an innovative structural ply-wood internal frame, Leven, like Raffield’s other designs, uses minimal glue and chemicals. Leven is the latest launch in the Tom Raffield range to boast a lifetime guarantee - a unique ‘dry construction’ process ensures each light can be easily repaired to ensure it lasts for generations to come and becomes an heirloom of the future.

BONALDO’s PAssION FOR DEsIGN

The new Bonaldo collection is the result of the company’s incessant evolutionary process based on its commitment to research and study of new materials, finishes and concepts 2021, in fact, is witnessing the creation of furnishing accessories that increasingly express the passion for design, the attention to detail in workmanship and the perfect stylistic balance of the shapes. accessories that express the wide variety of 100% made in Italy furnishing elements and which are united by their quality, an unmistakable elegance and the ability to convey the Bonaldo vision. Each element encapsulates a world of details and impressions, of sophisticated materials and inspirations, of colours and distinctive personalities which, under Bonaldo’s guidance, become part of that small and intimate cosmos that constitutes the home.
The following selection offers a preview of the new Bonaldo collection:
SLOT collection (table, coffee table, console table), design Giuseppe Viganò
The Slot collection, consisting of a table, console table and three coffee tables, embodies the extensive formal and technological research that has always underpinned Bonaldo’s products. For this collection, designer giuseppe viganò draws inspiration from the world of geometry, from which he borrows different shapes and harmonizes them in a single design. The collection plays with minimal shapes articulated in space: the horizontal top is supported by two stands with a characteristic h shape, one vertical and one slanted, united by a transverse element that conveys a sensation of movement. The legs and central stem are made of metal, while the top with rounded corners is available in numerous finishes, from wood to ceramic, marble and crystal, creating combinations of materials that are always different and can respond to any furnishing and style requirement.
MIDA seating collection, design Gino Carollo
a comfortable and elegant seating collection. The mida collection is named after the mythical King midas who turned everything he touched into gold. Similarly, mida seating adds a touch of style to any space, featuring a backrest with a generous, enveloping shape and a metal base that gives the structure a harmonious design. The soft padding of the seat and backrest, combined with the exquisite upholstery offered by Bonaldo, make mida the ideal element to position in a living area, around a table, or, in the mida too stool version, in front of a bar top. The mida collection includes a chair (mida), a chair with armrests (miss mida) and a stool (mida too) in two different heights.
ALIANTE collection, design Sergio Bicego
The aliante collection is a modular seating system that expresses, starting from the evocative name which means “glider” in Italian, the concept of fluidity and flexibility, seemingly without gravity. The aerial, fabric-covered frame matches the cushions and backrests in various sizes, creating a visually light, yet restrained ensemble. The lightness of the ensemble is further emphasized by the slender, minimal shape of the metal foot, available in different colours. Thanks to its versatile elements, the collection assumes different, interesting configurations for a living area with a focus on customization. The system is completed by the aliante side tables, available in Canaletto walnut or with a ceramic top and made in different shapes and sizes, accessories that play with the space when positioned laterally, in front of the sofa or between two elements of the composition.
OPTIC bookcase, design Marco Zito
a bookcase that plays with perspective and an optical effect for a result that embodies Bonaldo’s masterful manufacturing expertise. Like in a dance, the optic’s two supporting frames perfectly slide to create a light system of staggered shelves: the shelves are wider in the middle to accommodate large objects, while the side shelves are lighter and cantilevered. The shifted frames give the bookcase a striking 3D effect and permit different configurations in the space: side by side on the wall, overlapping or in the centre of the room joined with an “L” arrangement as a partition within the room.

The three new models widens the collection, which already includes the chair, the armchair, the stools and the lounge version. They are all made of aluminium and available in 14 colours white, black, metal grey, pearl gold, pastel blue, dust grey, creamy white, dark brown, green tea, dark blue, blue teal, iron grey, maracuja, terracotta. The chair and the armchair are available also in the chrome finish with polished legs and swiveling base or with wheels. Forest draws its inspiration from the shapes found in nature. “nature teaches us”, explains Robby Cantarutti. “in fact, a fundamental aspect of the Forest design is research, which consists in observing and copying nature to such an extent as to establish a close bond with it, using the same language in its design. The success of this collection is based on the simple message it conveys: love for nature, thanks to which the harmonious relationships of nature have been understood and translated into an artificial element, namely Forest seats.” For more information visit: www.fastspa.com
