SPRING FORWARD HOME

Trends

This year in Paris, Masion&Objet’s “Take Care” theme shone a spotlight on artisans and designers committed to quality, longevity, and creating a more circular design environment. Alongside young forward-thinking studios were established brands that have long focused on timelessness and re-interpret iconic designs in fresh ways. We’ve rounded up our Spring favorites.

Itac Collection by Fermob

Inspired by the Greek Cyclades, Fermob’s new Itac collection includes two vases, one cylindrical, the other rectangular, and both featuring carved designs meant to evoke islands jutting out against the Aegean Sea. The steel rod frames double as integrated handles so they can be moved around wherever the mood takes you.

Cymbal Lamp by Forestier

French lighting brand Forestier showed lamps by German designer Jette Schieb, including the Parrot and Cymbal collections (pictured). The lamps combine the transparency of linen with the opacity velvet, creating a soft glow inspired by the warm, rich tones of marine life —corals, shells, sea urchins and jellyfish.
