DESIGN SEEN TINO VALENTINITSCH Bologneser ($7,500 each), a new polyhe- dron work from the Viennese designer Tino Valentinitsch, is made from antique parquet from a circa-1850 villa in Bologna, Italy. The piece functions as a side table or stool and can be flipped or grouped as needed. Available in the United States through Stillfried Wien, 212.226.2921, Thomas Pheasant The furniture designer Thomas Pheasant, who has worked with brands such as Baker, has introduced an exclusive collection through his private label, Thomas Pheasant Studio. Each of the seven pieces, priced from $24,000 to $75,000, is stamped, numbered, and limited to an edition of 10. The furniture consists of case goods and tables, all made from mahogany, leather, and/or sand-cast bronze and inspired by decomposition in nature. The Italian brand Effeti's Wood 100% kitchen is made from solid planks of mature chestnut timber. Just a few numbered, signed models can be made each year, as each piece is seasonec^ and weathered before undergoing multiple steps of production. Pricing varies (starting at around $125,000), as multiple configurations are possible. 212.502.8916, www.ejfetiusa.com The design firm Yabu Pushelberg cre- ated the Peninsula New York's new restaurant, Clement, to feel like a Man- hattan home, with a "book room" that resembles a library, a "mirror room" with handmade mirrored artwork, and a "color room" with a 60-foot-long, hand-etched jungle decoration on its wall. Located on the upper mezzanine level of the hotel lobby—affording an elevated view of Fifth Avenue—the restaurant engages various artists for unique installations in its reception gammon set (shown, $28,000) made from precious wood and sterling silver—a nod to the chess set created by the company's founder, Jean Puiforcat, in 1927. The functional art piece is one of three new releases that also include the Art of Fine Taste (comprising a water carafe, sommelier bucket, beaker, and vase from Patrick jouin and a set of ceremonial vases and a centerpiece in black porcelain).
