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 poten-tial 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 08 and...

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 three-dimensional form. The black powder coating gives it the look of wrought iron. Bonsai is available in a one-candle and five-12 candle...

BOWL Bowl Designers Mia Gammelgaard & Ehln Johansson Mia Gammelgaard and Ehln 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 16 of glass. Diameter: 34,5 cm - 13,6 inch Heigth: 13,5 cm - 5,3 inch

MIRROR MIRROR Mirror Designer Jan Habraken

The magnetic backing ensures that the hand mirror fits snugly into place. It is ready when 30 you are! Width: Depth: Height: 60 cm - 23,6 inch 2,2 cm - 0,9 inch 68,5 cm - 27 inch

MR. ED Book-end Designer Roderick Vos Looking at his extensive library one day, Roderick Vos realized that a scattering of small lights would showcase the books and aid readers. So he designed Mr. Ed, a light bulb held in place by two ver tical book-like shapes. On a bookshelf or on a bedside table, Mr. Ed has enough brute strength to act as a book-end. Although Mr. Ed can use any 40-watt bulb, Vos prefers an incandescent bulb for its warm glow. In fact, Vos named Mr. Ed after the inventor of the incandescent, Thomas Alva Edison. Mr. Ed is made of cast aluminum 34 and available in black....

PATTERNS Linen Designer Claire Vos Iconic textile motifs merge and emerge in Patterns. The tablecloth and napkins explore the innate qualities of damask cloth, one of the oldest weaving patterns in the world. For her variation, Vos has chosen a light-grey Scottish plaid that dissolves and reassembles over an expanse of cream-colored linen fabric. The plaid is large-scale in the table-cloth, and smaller in the napkins. Patterns Table linen comes in a set of one tablecloth and six napkins and is made of 50% cotton and 50% linen. Vos's cotton dishtowels mix and mingle three different pairs of...

PAXTON Candleholder Designer Roderick Vos

PAXTON Candleholder Design Roderick Vos Industrial and robust, Paxton stands in contrast to the traditional romantic notion of candelabra. Made of black cast aluminum, Paxton resembles "an engine, a bridge truss, or even a stealth figh-ter," says creator, Roderick Vos. Paxton "could support 40 kilos," but only needs to hold five candles. The candleholder is a tribute to Sir Joseph Paxton, designer of the famed Crystal Palace at the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace launched the Industrial Revolution, and, in its own way, is 44 the distant ancestor of Paxton. Width: 67 cm - 26,4...
