All Things Worthy Of Note
By Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 10/1/2008
Cross-Cultural Creativity
Andrew and Anna Hellman launched Teroforma, a collection of high-end modern objects for the table, at the New York Gift Fair in August. The design incubator fosters collaborative relationships by pairing young designers with artisans from around the globe — such as the traditional gong-bi craftsman in Tangshan who hand-fabricates graceful Oyyo dinnerware in bone chine designed by a British artist.
Luxe-Lit
John Pomp Studios debuts a hand-blown glass lighting collection, extending his existing line of art glass. Emphasizing craftsmanship, the collection is based on the concept that light is a living thing, according to Pomp, and the union here of light, glass and metal celebrate both form and function.
Horn “o” Plenty
Glass artist Christopher Mosey reinvents the cornucopia in the new Offering Bowl design, part of the Terra Thermal series. A tower of stacked, textured glass forms the base, while the bowl of lapis, amethyst or emerald glass crystals creates the look of geodes in stunning style.
High Art
Josie Natori’s surname translates as “highest form of art” in Japanese, which has been the vision for her eponymous lingerie company. With the introduction of Natori Home, the twin themes of luxury and glamour carry over to posh, polished pillows and throws. Natori’s East-meets-West signature style lends collections such as Snow Leopard, Modern Lace and Retreat
effortless sophistication.
Sardinian Escape
Patricia Urquiola has designed a collection of Sardinian-made rugs for Moroso. The handmade carpets, which are woven on Old World looms and colored with natural dyes, bring together elements of Sardinian tradition with Urquiola’s imaginative design sensibility. Spectacular birds and geometric, irregular patterning bring to life a fantasy-filled, contemporary perspective.
