GRACEFUL & GRAPHIC
Strong silhouettes and defined lines can be traced throughout this season’s collections. A cool monochrome palette turns up the visual contrast and keeps things timeless
In just a few sweeping lines, ‘Lemni’ by Marco Lavit describes an armchair outline. A suspended seat in saddle leather and padded back roll ensure that comfort, as well as Living Divani’s characteristic light aesthetic, is catered for. From £3,221 ( livingdivani.it)
Armani/Casa’s ‘Puro’ collection is a range that neatly reflects the brand’s ethos. This table’s crisply defined geometry is emphasised by the contrast of its green quartzite top and dark ash underside (available vice versa, too). From £2,745 (armani.com)
Bernhardt & Vella’s ‘Madame’ desk for Calligaris is a versatile piece – an accompanying mirror transforms it into a dressing table. Subtle details such as a tubular metal base offer a soft take on minimalism. From £1,425 (calligaris.com)
A fusion of Scandinavian and Italian design values, GamFratesi’s ‘Fynn’ footstool for Minotti is one of a family of elegant pieces and features a subtly curved, liquorice-stained ash wood frame and a padded saddle-hide top. £2,670 (minotti.com)
No prizes for guessing the muse behind Edra’s ‘Full Moon’ table, designed by Jacopo Foggini. A slim and discrete central foot supports a slab of solid alabaster, which, when illuminated, has an ethereal lunar quality. From £4,480 (chaplins.co.uk)
Clever ways to divide spaces are in demand thanks to the pandemic, so Rimadesio’s new aluminium and fluted glass ‘Maxi’ sliding panel system by Giuseppe Bavuso comes at a perfect time. Price on application (rimadesio.it)
Italian lighting specialist Lodes has teamed up with Diesel Living to create a new collection. The ‘Flask’ series comprises three shapes that recall bottles used in science laboratories. From approx £233 ( lodes.com)
