Eugeni Quitllet Eugeni Quitllet was born with the ability to master the codes of irresistible seduction. Substance and light, transparency and opacity, the play between functionality and illusion. A lexicon of objects, superbly framed to reveal perfectly practicable pieces which are the territories of dreams. Through these challenging collaborations, Eugeni Quitllet manages to extract tangible identities out of artificial fragments and dreamlike evocations. His realisations have become integral to the most influential curators’ collections. Elected Designer of the Year 2016 by Maison & Objet (Paris), the Spaniard’s relationship with Lexon continues to manifest as elementary expressions of tasks performed in both office and home. The magical pathway of design which brings simplicity and emotion to the fore.

Pauline Deltour Fueled by an enthusiastic welcome, Pauline Deltour’s Fine collection continues to grow. Distinguished by being both severe and delicate, its designs re ect a vocabulary which is characteristic of her own personality. Her precise hand, neat lines, carefully selected materials and colour ranges, and the way in which they come together form the individual identity of this young French designer’s work. Emblematic, hard-hitting seduction is achieved through rare qualities which are as elemental to the design as they are challenging to implement. Expanding her focus, Pauline is now exploring a very broad scale of possibilities, from small individual pieces right through to complete interior architecture.

Marc Venot Marc Venot’s work realises intention by manipulating objects to make their features fully meaningful to those who use them. These represent the successful marriage of ideal functionality and evident grace, made possible through practical sensitivity. Small objects, such as of ce accessories, and the simple functions they serve are places which harbour an incredible concentration of attention to detail. Precision which becomes ever harder to achieve as space becomes more limited. Marc is the growing up design of the year, widly awarded with numerous prices.

Claudio Gatto The Bolla lamp tells what it is and the purposes it serves, the places it’ll enjoy, through its features and colors, the nature of its details. It erases distinction between what’s hung and stands, mobile or stable. A friendly shape that move further Claudio Gatto’s line of work in these two short years since he graduated in design. Translating a passion for uidity and lightness of solutions: one would nd dif cult to resist the idea of looking for venetian origins in order to understand the liquid accent of his quest.

Mathieu Lehanneur Mathieu Lehanneur is one of those rare designers of his generation who is able to embrace a multitude of dierent fields. His innovation through objects and magical architecture blends design, science, art and technology in a truly beneficial way. Mathieu’s creative inspiration is based on the notion that we are beings whose needs are far too complex to be satisfied by something as simple as a chair. Living better means breathing better air, consuming more environmentally conscious food, enjoying good health and, most important of all, possessing the desire to live a better life.

Anne Klepper & Elise Berthier Te r ra c e s t a n d s o u t a s a n exe m p l a r y achievement of its kind. Its main features seem to be three - they are related to light, power, sound. Though the rst goal it answers may actually be sharing and supporting conviviality, a much more demanding task. The shape of a kerosene lamp glass chimney, works as an historical shortcut which brings together a smartphone (in need of a spark) and a lighting (from a forgotten age): in this quick synthesis one can nd an alchemy of design, one that proposes to stay together for a longer time.

Luca Artioli Flexibility and movement, the ease of use achieved through precision in design. Values which are integral to Lexon’s identity, that clearly exist in Luca Artioli’s luggage collections. This impeccable consistency continues into the next generation of models which re ect the tides of change as they adapt to new formats, new technology tools and different modes of travel. What we have gained in lightness has been conducive to satisfying demand for higher capacity. It takes the experience of an Italian designer who’s been in the game for more than twenty years to successfully combine an accessory’s elegant ef ciency with the appearance and importance normally associated with clothing.
