Iconic Tableware Design: Villeroy & Boch La Boule
The Art of the Sphere
La Boule stands as the quintessential design icon from Villeroy & Boch: a perfect sphere that splits to reveal a complete dining set for two. With six distinct iterations—ranging from sleek minimalist whites to vibrant hues or classic Christmas motifs—it represents the ideal gift for those who blend aesthetics with functionality. For lovers of the aperitivo rather than a full dinner, the brand also presents La Petite Boule, a compact version declined in the same striking palettes.
Marble Home Decor: The Royal Vase Collection by Kreoo
Marble Silhouettes
Christophe Pillet signs his debut line of marble furnishings for Kreoo with Royal, a trio of slender, elegant vases. While differing in size, they share a cohesive architectural logic: a soft, radiused base and a recessed upper rim that creates a “floating” effect for the cover, leaving a subtle void along the circumference. The top disc features a circular opening with gently lifted edges—a decorative touch that allows cut flowers to shine. Carved from a solid block of marble, the collection highlights the natural veining and aesthetic power of stone through its rounded volumes.
Timeless Silverware: Buccellati Caviar Vase
Silver Heritage
The Caviar Collection reinterprets a celebrated Buccellati design dating back to the 1930s. Since then, the motif of tiny “caviar” spheres has adorned jewelry and silver alike; today, it returns in a collection dedicated to table and home decor. The beauty of the design, extraordinary craftsmanship, and the intrinsic character of each piece define Buccellati silverware. Regardless of scale, this hand-wrought silver is a form of art to be used, enjoyed, and jealously guarded for a lifetime.
Murano Glass Art: The Ercole Vase by Barovier&Toso
Muranese Brilliance
The Ercole vase embodies the zenith of Murano glass art, fusing tradition and innovation. Born from a 1940s concept by Ercole Barovier and crafted using the revolutionary “rostrato” technique—patented by the brand in the 1930s—this piece stands out for its surface, rich in relief and projections. While the glass is molten, the master glazier sculpts faceted prisms, evoking Renaissance architecture and the structure of a diamond. A true testament to exceptional craftsmanship, this meticulous process grants the vase exceptional brilliance and a unique optical effect, amplifying the transparency of the material.
Glass Centerpieces: Kromis Sculptural Totem by Giorgetti
A Totem of Light
A tribute to the creative freedom and chromatic richness of the 1970s, Kromis by Giorgetti is an object to experience and reinvent. A glass totem comprised of five trays of varying thickness and height, it is stackable, deconstructible, and free to transform into new geometries. A simple gesture changes its function and atmosphere. Each element can stand alone as a refined centerpiece or small container, or unite with others in a sculpture of light and color. Proposed in two personality-filled nuances, Kromis is an exercise in balance between rigor and fantasy.
Artistic Lighting: Soffio Lamps by Draga & Aurel
Vintage Soul, Modern Breath
The Soffio lamps (floor, suspension, and sconce) pay homage to the ancient tradition of Murano master glassmakers. Each lamp is a unique piece, born from a combination of glass bubbles reclaimed from vintage 70s chandeliers and new globes blown in Venetian furnaces today. Soffio merges formal rigor with expressive lightness: hand-blown elements meld with traditional techniques like craquelé, pulegoso, and gold leaf inclusions. The variations in shape and tone endow each example with a luminous, dynamic, and unrepeatable volume.
Portable Table Lamps: Slamp Clizia Battery Mama non Mama
Portable Nature
Regular shapes interlocked in a perfect equilibrium of transparencies and reflections define the design of Clizia Battery Mama non Mama. Echoing natural forms, the lamp evokes a cloud capturing the first rays of morning sun, charged with iridescent reflections, or a tree canopy through which light filters to play with shadows. The cordless edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of Slamp’s best-selling collection, bringing a touch of luminous poetry anywhere it goes.
Contemporary Ceramics: The Danza Collection by Bosa
Ceramic Masquerade
Bosa, the internationally renowned laboratory of high craftsmanship, showcases Danza, celebrating twenty-five years of collaboration with designer Jaime Hayon. By reworking classic shapes with vivid colors, playful graphics, and scenographic patterns, the collection vests familiar objects with new vitality. Each piece testifies to Hayon’s distinctive language: precise lines, whimsical details, and a touch of irreverence. As Hayon puts it, the collection captures “the essence of a festive masquerade ball,” where every vase or sculpture becomes a character expressing personality through form and color.
Textured Crystal: Opalia Vases by Glas Italia
Imperfect Perfection
Opalia is a collection of vases defined by two flanks created by fusing crystal scraps with special additives, resulting in irregular glass masses rich in bubbles and undulating surfaces. Endowed with strong plasticity, the textured sides are bonded to float glass plates to form water-tight vessels. Realized in extra-clear or bronze crystal, the series represents a tactile dialogue between industrial precision and organic irregularity.
Porcelain Sculptures: Les Trois Amis by SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG
Porcelain Personalities
SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG introduces Les Trois Amis, a trio of refined vases with a sculptural presence. Each piece features a stylized face in relief, hand-finished with meticulous care. The satin white porcelain finish provides a matte texture that enhances the contours and facial features. Little Antheia, named after the Greek goddess of flowers, elevates small bouquets; Little Scent of a Muse features sensual forms inspired by designer Michael Sieger’s wife, ideal for aromatic blooms; while Little Prometheus showcases the brand’s familiar, elegant relief work.
From the tactile warmth of porcelain to the ethereal glow of Murano glass, each item in this selection invites a dialogue between matter and light. Objects to admire, to touch, and to cherish.
