The overall aim of this collection is to bring a sense of calm and balance to interior spaces through its design. Following this, the article features 'Linen tableware' from Robert Plumb, which utilizes traditional hand-dyeing processes by Veronique Terreaux to achieve rich, earthy tones. This linen range by the Australian brand Long Courrier includes napkins, placemats, and coasters, available in four colors. The selection of these colors is intended to reflect the slow and deliberate nature associated with the preparation of tea, emphasizing a thoughtful and grounded approach to home accessories. 'Bobby stools' by designer Daniel Tucker, from Design By Them, are introduced as versatile 'inbetweener' pieces suitable for casual outdoor settings.

Dezeen Showroom has unveiled 14 new products this week, featuring a diverse range of furniture, lighting, and finishes for both commercial and residential projects. Among the highlights is the "Technicolour" textile collection by graphic designer Peter Saville for Danish brand Kvadrat. This collection draws inspiration from the colorful sprays used by farmers to mark sheep, translating this rustic aesthetic into a series of vibrant handwoven and robot-tufted rugs with color spots, iridescent curtains, and upholstery made from British sheep's wool. Saville describes the collection as bringing "the industry of the land, in raw form, into the living environment," likening it to "rural graffiti." Other notable product additions include the "Mouro" lamp, designed by Patricia Perez for Case Furniture. This portable and rechargeable table lamp, suitable for indoor and outdoor use, features a disc-shaped LED light that rotates 360 degrees, enclosed within a rectangular frame that doubles as a handle. Rainlight's "Phlox" collection for Okamura offers a comprehensive range of seating and tables, including conference chairs, lounge chairs, high stools, and five table shapes. The collection, characterized by its gently undulating silhouettes, is inspired by the petals of the night-blooming phlox flower. For storage solutions, Bruno Rainaldi's "Ptolomeo" bookshelf for Opinion Ciatti is designed to emulate the appearance of books stacked in high piles while providing structural stability. Named after the founder of the Library of Alexandria, this stainless steel shelf is available in black, white, or Corten effect lacquered finishes. Dedar introduces two new textile collections: "The Art of Jacquard" and a "Textile wall covering collection." The Jacquard collection features ultra-thin yarns woven directly into the fabric to create rich patterns, including tropical bird motifs, nature-inspired designs, bold graphics, and abstract floral landscapes. The wall covering collection, inspired by grand tapestries, includes four patterns, such as screen-printed illustrations on linen and classic weaves of jute and linen, aimed at creating a cozy atmosphere. The "Hymn" lamp by Hiroto Yoshizoe for Ambientec is another portable and durable lighting option for indoor and outdoor settings. It employs two magnets to create constant oscillations, producing a flickering effect reminiscent of a candle flame. GamFratesi's "Beetle Chair," available through Suite NY, has been re-released with four new upholstery options in neutral shades, alongside black or brass leg finishes. John Pawson's "Frame" dining table for Nikari, originally designed for his own farmhouse, is a minimalist piece made from responsibly sourced ash or oak wood with a natural oil finish, boasting a lifespan of over 100 years.

This week's Dezeen Showroom highlights six new products, ranging from innovative seating solutions to versatile office furniture and timeless reissues. The collection features designs that prioritize both aesthetic appeal and functional adaptability for modern living and working spaces. Leading the selection is the Shrinx lounge chair by Boris Berlin for Danish furniture brand +Halle. This chair redefines the traditional armchair by using a skeletal steel frame and taut, heat-shrunk textile upholstery, creating a translucent, visually light seat that avoids the bulk of conventional foam padding. This innovative approach offers a distinct aesthetic while maintaining comfort. Another notable seating design is the Sundae modular lounge by Jason Ju for DesignByThem. This system is built from plump, upholstered components, allowing for extensive customization. Users can choose from four preset layouts or combine five different modules to create unique configurations, making it adaptable to various room sizes and design preferences. The Sundae modular lounge can also be upholstered in a range of materials, further enhancing its personalization options. For office environments, Kettal introduces the Kall booth, a compact office pod designed to balance privacy with an open feel. Available in four sizes, each booth incorporates two glass sides and two solid panels. This combination provides a sense of seclusion for focused work while preventing the enclosed feeling often associated with traditional office pods. Its slender profile makes it suitable for diverse office layouts. Designs of the Time presents the Ausarta collection fabrics, a line of linen-based textiles featuring earthy, neutral colorways and tactile, raw textures. These fabrics are versatile, suitable for a wide variety of upholstery applications, and come in various patterns, textures, and colors, allowing designers and homeowners to integrate natural elements and a sense of calm into their interiors. Keiji Takeuchi's Mimo modular seating for NaughtOne offers another flexible seating solution. Characterized by rectilinear frames encasing plush pillows, the collection includes a modular system, two- and three-seater sofas, a club chair, and coffee tables. All pieces share a low, lounge-like silhouette, designed to create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere in both residential and commercial settings. Finally, vintage furniture manufacturer Dagmar reissues the Model 36 desk, originally designed by Severin Hansen in 1958. This desk, crafted from solid walnut or oak, features daintily tapered legs and a contemporary aesthetic that remains relevant almost 70 years after its initial creation. Its timeless design and high-quality materials make it a classic piece suitable for various interior styles, demonstrating the enduring appeal of well-crafted furniture. #DezeenShowroom #FurnitureDesign #LoungeChairs #ModularSeating #OfficeFurniture #TextileDesign #MidCenturyDesign #ContemporaryDesign

Danish design brand Hay and London-based designers Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien have collaborated to create the 'Quilton' sofa, a modular system characterized by its quilted motif and sartorial inspiration. This partnership, which began in 2014, builds on previous successful projects like the 'Uchiwa chair' and the 'Dapper' chair, demonstrating a strong, focused collaboration between the two entities. The 'Quilton' sofa emerged from Doshi Levien's strategic suggestion to Hay to introduce a softer, more elegant, and tailored seating collection. The designers' hands-on approach, involving extensive sketching and hand-prototyping in their London studio, was central to its development. This method fostered a relationship of trust with Hay, allowing the design to evolve from initial sketches without the need for elaborate renderings. Modularity is a core aspect of the 'Quilton' sofa, offering 13 distinct modules and a standalone three-seater option. The design aims for a balanced aesthetic, combining elegance with generous, soft forms. The bold quilting on the seat is a defining feature, inspired by classic sofa designs, yet it is applied with restraint to maintain a clean and uncluttered appearance, particularly on the back of the piece. Attention to detail is evident in various elements of the sofa, such as the subtle floating base that contributes to its lightness. A thin strip of material separates the sofa from its base, enhancing this effect. The modular configuration also allows for customization, enabling users to mix and match materials and colors for the front, back, and base of the sofa, with options in textiles and leather. Given Doshi and Levien's extensive experience with surfaces and textiles, the choice of upholstery was crucial. The debut collection features Kvadrat fabrics, including 'Raas' with voluminous yarns, Margrethe Odgaard’s ‘Re-wool,’ ‘Atlas,’ and Fanny Aronsen’s ‘Vidar’ in a bold green. The designers also art-directed the launch photography at their Barbican apartment in London, aiming to convey a sense of eclecticism and cultural exchange by blending modern design with traditional objects and the architectural context of the Barbican. The 'Quilton' sofa, introduced in 2021, also acknowledges the shifting role of furniture in a post-pandemic world. As homes have become central to work and daily life, the sofa is now viewed as a versatile platform. The design reflects this change by offering comfort and functionality for various activities, underscoring the increased importance of home environments that are both appealing and adaptable. #DoshiLevien #HayDesign #ModularSofa #QuiltonSofa #FurnitureDesign #InteriorDesign #CollaborativeDesign #TextileDesign #ContemporaryFurniture

This divider features a metal frame with linearly arranged chains, offering a flexible solution for segmenting spaces without completely enclosing them. It is available in both straight and curved forms and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The Bilbao chair is offered in various finishes and colors, allowing for customization to suit diverse interior design schemes. Its design emphasizes organic shapes and comfort, contributing to a contemporary and inviting atmosphere in any setting. Complementing this, FSB, a German door handle manufacturer, introduced the Les Couleurs Le Corbusier handles. These door hardware pieces are inspired by architect Le Corbusier's iconic Polychromie Architecturale color palette. Made from aluminum, they are available in 63 different hues and are designed for use with both windows and doors, offering a refined touch that integrates historical design principles with modern functionality. Lighting and product designer Marc de Groot presented the StarDust lamp shades, a collection characterized by its faceted appearance and gaps that evoke celestial constellations. These metal lamp shades come in various colors and sizes, all featuring an angular yet spherical profile reminiscent of origami, adding a unique and artistic element to interior lighting. In the realm of outdoor and functional design, Czech brand Mmcité, in collaboration with designers David Karásek and Michael Tomalik, launched the Typo planters. These planters are made from 3D-printed concrete, exhibiting undulating, tapered walls. Their innovative production process allows for organic forms, and they can be equipped with irrigation systems, making them suitable for diverse environments. For workplace solutions, Leet Design introduced the Arche acoustic pods. These work pods, available in two-person and single-seater versions, feature arched profiles and advanced noise reduction capabilities, alongside various high-tech functionalities. Constructed from recycled steel, they can be customized with different color finishes, providing a sustainable and efficient solution for modern office spaces. American electronics brand Charcoal launched the Charcoal Desk, an intuitive and versatile desk designed to promote user well-being. This adjustable desk seamlessly transitions between sitting and standing heights and includes a subtle button that illuminates to remind users to take breaks, aiming to enhance productivity and encourage healthier work habits. Further enriching the outdoor furniture category, Spanish brand Diabla unveiled the Cacao outdoor collection, designed by Odosdesign. This collection includes an inflatable furniture piece that functions as both a leilo mattress and a daybed. Its segmented appearance, reminiscent of a chocolate bar, adds a playful touch. The Cacao design is available in standard white with a selection of colored base options. Australian designer Alexander Lotersztain, in collaboration with furniture brand Derlot, introduced the Sfera bowl. This bowl features a tilted silhouette, presenting its contents at an angle. It is versatile enough for food presentation, holding keys, or organizing office supplies, showcasing a practical yet aesthetically engaging design. Lastly, Italian brand Gessi presented the Jacqueline tap collection, a series of taps featuring spouts made from bent bamboo. These taps combine a characteristic bamboo faucet with mounting sections and valve handles available in various leather and metallic finishes, offering a blend of natural materials and sophisticated design for bathrooms and kitchens. #DezeenShowroom #ProductDesign #Furniture #Lighting #Homeware #InteriorDesign #OfficeSolutions #OutdoorFurniture #SustainableDesign

Interior Define, a furniture company known for its customizable modern seating and bed frames, has expanded its offerings with a new dining collection. This collection maintains the brand's focus on personalization, allowing customers to tailor their dining sets to better suit their individual spaces and aesthetic preferences. The new dining series features a streamlined table and upholstered chairs, designed with a helpful degree of customization in mind. The dining tables, available in round, square, and rectangle shapes, cater to various space requirements, with the smallest options suitable for compact apartments, seating two to four people. The tables feature a 45-degree beveled apron and are constructed from a dense engineered wood composite with a wood veneer finish. Customers can choose from four table finishes: walnut, oak, gray stain, and white. Further personalization extends to the table legs, with seven available finishes, including the four table finishes, plus matte brass, natural steel, and brushed stainless steel. The chairs in the collection offer even more design flexibility, with three distinct styles: the Art Deco-inspired Audrey, the clean and simple Dylan, and the kite-inspired Kit. Each chair style can be upholstered in dozens of fabric options. For the Dylan and Kit chairs, customers also have a choice of three leg styles—round dowel, tapered, and antenna—and three finishes: matte black, matte brass, and chrome. Pricing for the dining tables ranges from $900 to $1,400, while the chairs are priced between $350 and $600. A notable aspect of Interior Define's service is the inclusion of white glove delivery and furniture assembly with the purchase. This approach differentiates them from other online furniture retailers like Burrow and Floyd, which typically opt for flatpack shipping and require DIY assembly. To assist customers in making informed decisions, Interior Define provides several ways to visualize their furniture before committing to a purchase. One modern option is an iOS augmented reality (AR) app, which enables users to place virtual representations of the furniture within their own homes, similar to apps offered by Ikea and Anthropologie. For those who prefer a more traditional experience, the company operates four physical showrooms, known as Guideshops, located in major cities: Chicago, New York, Austin, and Los Angeles. These Guideshops allow customers to physically interact with the furniture and experience the quality and design firsthand. #Furniture #HomeDecor #CustomizableFurniture #DiningSet #InteriorDesign #OnlineRetailer #AugmentedReality #HomeFurnishings

Nidhi Kapur founded Maiden Home, an online furniture company, out of frustration with the limited and often low-quality options available when furnishing her first adult home. She observed that existing large chain stores either lacked elegant designs, appeared cheap, or leaned heavily into a mid-century modern aesthetic, none of which met her desire for quality and value within her price range. Leveraging her background in e-commerce, Kapur embarked on a mission to create a direct-to-consumer model that would revolutionize the furniture shopping experience. The company name, Maiden Home, symbolizes the significant life changes that often prompt furniture purchases, such as marriage, moving to the suburbs, or buying a first home. Kapur's vision for Maiden Home centered on handcrafted, high-quality furniture made in North Carolina, drawing inspiration from her parents' long-lasting furniture purchases from the region. She traveled extensively across North Carolina to identify family-owned businesses specializing in custom upholstery that could meet her stringent requirements for affordable, handcrafted pieces. This extensive search culminated in establishing partnerships with skilled artisans capable of producing the desired products. Maiden Home distinguishes itself by cutting out traditional intermediaries, adopting a direct-to-consumer approach that has proven successful in other industries. This model eliminates the markups associated with selling through boutique furniture stores or outsourcing manufacturing to international factories. Consequently, a custom-made couch that might cost $6,000 through a traditional retailer can be purchased for $2,000 directly from Maiden Home, without compromising on quality, comfort, or elegance. The development of Maiden Home took two years, during which Kapur meticulously addressed the complexities of delivering custom American-made furniture nationwide. Her customer service philosophy prioritizes keeping promises and avoiding the common pitfalls of mistreating customers, a stark contrast to her perception of the furniture industry's historical practices. Maiden Home offers a streamlined customization process starting with four core sofa and four chair designs. Customers can personalize their selections based on size, fabric, and color through the company's website, which provides complimentary swatch kits and access to design advisors. These advisors offer guidance throughout the purchase journey, ensuring that selections align with a customer's aesthetic and home environment. After an order is placed, Maiden Home provides weekly updates on the manufacturing process, covering stages from cushion creation to final inspections. The company also guarantees a six-week white glove delivery service across most of the United States. An exceptionally customer-friendly policy allows for a 30-day full refund return, a rare offering in the custom furniture market. Although primarily an e-commerce platform, Maiden Home maintains an appointment-only showroom in Kapur’s Tribeca apartment for customers who prefer to view products in person. The brand officially launched on March 7, with pre-launch beta users already expressing satisfaction with the designs, comfort, and transparency regarding product origins. Maiden Home's top-selling Minetta Chair exemplifies its commitment to detailed craftsmanship, featuring 16 rows of stitch detailing and available in a wide range of fabrics and leathers. All sofas are designed for longevity, preventing flattening and cushion slippage. Kapur plans to expand the product line beyond couches and chairs, prioritizing customer feedback to introduce new furniture types based on demand, always with the customer experience at the forefront. #HomeDesign #FurnitureDesign #CustomFurniture #DirectToConsumer #MaidenHome #ECommerce #InteriorDesign #LuxuryFurniture #HandcraftedFurniture
