Live Well, Be Well
As we continue to stay home to stay safe, there’s no better time to update your living and work spaces with the latest home and decor novelties of the season.
COLLECTIONS FOR THE HOME 2020-2021, HERMÈS
The new wooden tables and chairs by Hermès are embodiments of lightness and simplicity, seamlessly fitting into homes with a stripped-back feel. With the oak armchair, chair and table set by British designer Jasper Morrison, the beauty is in the details such as the bevelled tabletop, slanted legs and crisp corners that are rounded on the inside, slatted chair backs crafted from a single piece of wood, as well as saddle-stitched leather pad seats for added comfort. Placed alone, in a duo or as a trio, the Les Trotteuses d’hermès side tables add interest to any room with their different heights and porcelain tops with colourful motifs. The solid oak legs are fastened with bridle-leather straps and can fold in and out for better versatility.
THE MEDUSA COLLECTION, VERSACE
For the first time, the Italian house has launched a line dedicated to the office space. Part of its Versace Home 2020 launch, the Medusa Collection combines the brand’s signature bold glamour with modern, functional pieces crafted for any work environment. Made from cinder wood, the line features a desk and chairs in plush white leather and embellished with the iconic golden Medusa motifs.
FRITZ HANSEN
Decor accents can do wonders for any space. A new rug, like the ones from Fritz Hansen, can inject colour and cosiness while anchoring a room design. These rugs draw inspiration from designer Cecilie Manz’s pencil drawings, geometric cut-outs and paper layering, as well as the shapes cast by sunlight through her studio windows. Hand-tufted in India and coloured with acid-free dye, they sport varying tufting heights in their design to add more texture and tactility. Production proceeds will support children’s education in Nepal. Similarly, a bloom-filled vase can become a focal point in a room. The Ikeru Vases by Jaime Hayon are inspired by the Japanese floral art of ikebana, and, rather than just one vessel, have metal flutes that hold individual flowers separately to allow the appreciation of each from various angles.
