Designers Kranen/Gille

101 Candelabra mirror Designers Kranen/Gille Full of magic and mystery, Kranen/Gille’s candelabra mirror is straight out of a fairy tale. It emerges from the wall, held in place with a casted aluminum frame that branches off into two arms perfect for holding candles. A single mirror provides an elegant focal point for any room. A series of mirrors in a corridor or long space makes an even bigger impact. 101 is available in black or white. Width: 71,5 cm – 28,1 inch Depth: 10,5 cm – 4,1 inch Height: 50 cm – 19,7 inch

BENCH WOOD Bench Designer Serener

BENCH WOOD Bench Designer Serener Made of just three pieces of wood, Serener’s bench is the essence of simplicity. At the same time, the design reflects sophisticated understanding of materials. Dovetail joinery allows the wood to expand, contract, and bend with changing environmental conditions. As the pieces of wood shift, they support and strengthen each other. Width: 120 cm – 47,2 inch Depth: 29 cm – 11,4 inch Height: 40 cm – 15,7 inch

BOLDER Vase and wine cooler Designer Chris Slutter

BOLDER Vase and wine cooler Designer Chris Slutter If you have been to a working harbor, the Bolder should look familiar. Designer Chris Slutter's inspiration was the simple yet substantial mooring bollard. (Bolder is the Dutch word for bollard.) The Bolder's potential uses make playful references to maritime culture. While a bollard secures a ship in the waters of a port, water goes inside the Bolder when treated as vase. Filling the Bolder with ice to chill wine is a nod to the tradition of christening a new ship with a bottle of champagne. Bolder is made of casted aluminum and available...

BONSAI Candleholder Designer Roderick Vos Add serenity, grace, and refinement to a room with this tea light holder. The Bonsai reflects designer Roderick Vos's interest in Asian art and culture, and is the embodiment of his mission to "create products with magical simplicity." It also demonstrates his familiarity with cutting-edge technology...literally, in this case. The Bonsai is laser-cut from a sheet of metal and then bent mechanically into a threedimensional form. The black powder coating gives it the look of wrought iron. Bonsai is available in a one-candle and fivecandle edition....

BOWL Bowl Designers Mia Gammelgaard & Ehlén Johansson

BOWL Bowl Designers Mia Gammelgaard & Ehlén Johansson Mia Gammelgaard and Ehlén Johansson’s sculptural bowl is both functional and fantastic. “How to solve a challenge? Just open your eyes and reflect,” says Gammelgaard. It began as a meditation on basic physics. How can a sphere balance on a flat surface? It ended with something that seemingly defies those laws: a bowl suspended in mid air, a glass sphere nestled inside a ring of glass. Diameter: 34,5 cm – 13,6 inch Heigth: 13,5 cm – 5,3 inch

CROSSDOCK Media rack Designer Dick van Hoff

CROSSDOCK Media rack Designer Dick van Hoff Recharge your iPad in an elegant media rack that unites the old and the new. The dock’s form and walnut wood detailing references the traditional Dutch type of magazine rack. The white aluminum base is firmly rooted in the present. Designer Dick Van Hoff’s sly message here is that “antique” forms of communication like newspapers and magazines can peacefully co-exist with the iPad, the portable, personal news kiosk of the modern era. Width: 50,5 cm – 19,9 inch Depth: 32 cm – 12,6 inch Height: 39 cm – 15,4 inch

CUSHION Cushion Designer Serener

CUSHION Cushion Designer Serener This round cushion gives a boost to any seat, but looks especially handsome with Serener’s stool and bench. Made of soft but sturdy leather, it can also provide impromptu outdoor seating for a picnic or concert. The tab on the side makes the cushion extra portable: just slide it on your finger and go. Or use the tab to store the cushion on a hook. Cushion is available in black or white. Diameter: 42 cm – 16,5 inch Height: 5 cm – 2,0 inch

HOOKS Hooks Designer Serener

HOOKS Hooks Designer Serener Hooks 3 Width: 37,5 cm – 14,8 inch Depth: 6,7 cm – 2,6 inch Height: 9,4 cm – 3,7 inch Hooks 8 Width: 100 cm – 39,4 inch Depth: 6,7 cm – 2,6 inch Height: 9,4 cm – 3,7 inch Need a good place to hang your hat, bag, umbrella, or coat? Serener’s rack is at your service. Each is made from a single sheet of metal, with the hooks laser cut and then bent with a specially designed tool. The backing is a wood plank, setting the rack off the wall so it seems to levitate. Racks come with either three or eight hooks, and are available in black, white, red and yellow. Use one...
