Shortlist
shortlist
We’re not short on our list of engaging design pieces for this edition. Form is the buzzword here as we explore designs that are given life through their shape and structure, whether they are curvaceous and complex, linear and precision-cut or layered and bonded, defying the convention of its own materiality, we have a selection sure to grab your attention this new decade.
TAKE A DIP! Curvaceous, slender, voluptuous, athletic, the women of Hampstead Heath’s Ladies’ Pond, braving the elements year-round, are the inspiration for Ladies Pond, the first commercially available furniture collection from design studio Sella Concept. Sella are no strangers to furniture design, from Westminster workspace Huckletree to Night Tales in Hackney, almost every interior they’ve created features founders Tatjana von Stein and Gayle Noonan’s bespoke furniture pieces, but this is the first time their designs are available to the public, made to order. Both regulars of the Ladies’ Pond, Tatjana and Gayle have paid tribute to the swimmers through a family of three sensuously curvy stools made from hand-turned tulipwood. www.sella-concept.com | @sella.concept Photographer Genevieve Lutkin
KISS FROM A ROSE Massproductions sculptural armchair, Rose, has been released in an oak finish. Manufactured in Sweden from Swedish FSC-certified wood source, Rose is available in four finishes, oak, black-stained oak, walnut and maple. Massproductions’ Design Manager, Chris Martin, designed the Rose Chair in exploration of the possibilities and limitations of layer-glued wood. The idea was to create an armchair that consisted entirely of wood without any screws or metal fittings. Rose Chair was launched in 2018 during the Stockholm Furniture Fair. Rose Chair is also a clear example of Massproductions’ high ambitions with environmental and quality certification and the first product from their product catalogue to be certified with “Möbelfakta”, the Swedish sustainability and quality label. www.massproductions.se | @massproductions
