Giving a bold graphic hit to the Tom Dixon collection, the two cushions and throw are the bold, graphic precision-engineered statement pieces of tomorrow.

Beat Vessels Tom Dixon’s leanings towards metals are well documented and they never cease to find fresh ways to work them. Beat Vessels are a set of floor vases spun and welded in separate parts to create their incredible, sculptural form. This new finish is also made from brass and is polished to match the Beat brass lights. Inspired by the sculptural simplicity of brass cooking pots and traditional water vessels on the subcontinent, Beat Vessels are hand made by the renowned skilled craftsmen of Moradabad in Northern India.

Bash Bash is one of Tom Dixon’s most appropriately named products beaten, banged and bashed from large sheets of annealed brass they have functioned so far as great bowls or serving dishes. However, over-scaled platters and vases were missing; something to put a cherry blossom branch in, to use as an umbrella stand or even a most extravagant waste paper basket. The tray allows for bigger parties and more ceremonial snacks.

Philippe Starck for Flos
“ Imagine the witch asking her mirror: ‘Mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful.’ In the dark, it does not work. In the dark, nothing exists, not even questions. Flos turned on the light around the mirror and Snow White appeared.”
La Plus Belle
Philippe Starck
A collection of special oval mirrors providing light thanks to a luminous LED strip positioned on the perimeter. Mirrors are available in three dimensions for different uses. The biggest model is an impressive mirror more than 2 metres high that can be positioned on the floor, on the wall or suspended; the suspension model provides a diffused and intense double emission of light. The wall models, in both dimensions, can be enriched by some optional smaller mirrors that can be fixed laterally on both sides.

Designer Profile
Philippe Starck “Political, ethical, subversive, ecological, fun: this is how I see my duty as a creator.” Philippe Starck
Despite more than 10,000 creations – completed or in the making – his global fame and his tireless protean inventiveness, never forget the essential. Philippe Starck has a mission and a vision: creation, whatever shape it takes, must make life better for the largest number of people possible. Starck believes this highly poetic, political, rebellious, benevolent, pragmatic and subversive duty must be borne by all and he resumes it with the humour that has accompanied his approach since the earliest days: “No one is forced to be a genius, but everyone has to take part.” This citizen of the world, who considers it his duty to share his ethical and subversive vision of a fairer planet, creates unconventional places and objects whose purpose is to be “good” before being beautiful. His profound comprehension of contemporary mutations, his enthusiasm for imagining new lifestyles, his determination to change the world, his devotion to a positive reduction, his love of ideas, his desire to defend the intelligence of usefulness – and the usefulness of intelligence – have accompanied one
iconic creation after the other. From everyday products such as furniture and lemon squeezers, to revolutionary mega-yachts, hotels and restaurants that aspire to be wondrous, stimulating and intensely vibrant places, Starck never ceases to push the boundaries and criteria of contemporary design. Individual windmills, smart thermostat, electric bikes, or an innovative and ecological wooden prefabricated house – soon to be followed by solar boats, his technological miracles are vectors of democratic ecology, focused on action and a respect for the future of both humans and nature. Predicting the phenomena of convergence and dematerialisation, Philippe Starck has always devised objects that demand the most from the least. The solutions provided by his dreams are so vital and so essential that he was the first Frenchman to be invited to the legendary TED conferences. Inventor, creator, architect, designer, artistic director, Philippe Starck is all of the above, but above all he is a man of honesty, in the purest tradition of the Renaissance artists.

Glas Italia Celeste
Piero Lissoni’s Celeste mirror assumes a magnetic aspect creating surreal effects thanks to three magnifying portholes fixed on a flat surface, with each porthole having a different diameter and different degree of magnification. The mirror has a delicate bevelled edge on its perimeter under the silvered surface to refine and enhance the beauty of this object.
