NEW ARRIVALS
Sutherland Furniture, available at SUTHERLAND PERENNIALS STUDIO, has teamed up with renowned Belgium architect Vincent Van Duysen to create the Franck outdoor furniture collection. His design language is all about purity, refinement and the perception of space. Visit the new showroom to see how functionality, durability and comfort are combined with precise execution and tactile materials.
Villa Nova has launched Picture Book, its first children’s focused collection, thanks to the contribution of three leading illustrators, Frann Preston-Gannon, Christopher Corr and Yuval Zommer. Enchanting patterns by Christopher Corr (shown here in his studio) capture his gouache work which is inspired by colour, world travels and a love of life. See them at ROMO.
New to ALTFIELD is WallsOne from the USA which is offering an array of wallcoverings in a broad spectrum of colours. This iridescent ‘Abalone’ pattern is by celebrated designer Thom Filicia, who has infused his first ever wallcovering collection with a decorator’s touch.
COLLABORATIONS Architect Marco Piva has designed Cinecitta, a contemporary range of furniture for RUBELLI that takes inspiration from the world of film. With its geometric precision, the ‘Greta Trio’ tables (shown) are influenced by the strong expressiveness of Greta Garbo. The tapered top allows a transparent view of Damantio, a transparent resin slab that includes a technical fabric specially woven in Rubelli’s mill.
Blurring the boundaries between art and interiors, Living Wall sees the work of fine artist Michael Angove on a range of ceramic tiles for ARTISANS OF DEVIZES. Complex, colourful patterns of British hedgerows show a richly layered ecosystem that bursts with life.
A new range by Staffan Tollgård for PORADA reveals how Italian craftsmanship and a cool Scandinavian design aesthetic came together. Archipelago references the islands of his Swedish homeland and includes two-tier tables with steel frames and ceramic surfaces, plus the ‘Astol’ bench (shown).
BEAUFORT COLLECTION Known for its expertly crafted furnishings and curtain making, Beaufort Collection has a new showroom on the Third Floor. With its commitment to craftsmanship, comfort and quality, the Leolux boutique will be a key feature. Don’t miss the contemporary range by Edward van Vliet inspired by 19thcentury luxury hotel interiors.
SACCO CARPET Well-established in the US as the go-to for superior carpets, a new Design Centre East showroom is weaving its magic in London. An extensive portfolio graces yachts, private jets as well as high-end residences and hospitality projects.
