Domus staff’s wishlist

In Domus editorial office we begin to breathe in the Christmas spirit and all our staff has compiled its “Christmas design wishlist”.

Domus staff’s wishilist
In Italy, by tradition, this is the weekend in which we prepare ourselves to Christmas decorating homes and purchasing the first gifts. We have written our wishlist selecting our favorite design objects, or prototypes, published on Domus Web. Find it out below.

Jonathan Muecke’s Blue Cabinet is a cabinet without a top or bottom with three sides that adjust, expanding and contracting, the internal volume and exterior presence. The object was on view in “Future Tropes”, an exhibition at Volume Gallery. To have a place for pause and decompression.


Dolls of the Zapatista Revolution, The Zapatista, Mexico, exhibited at “Disobedient Objects”, a show at the Victoria and Albert Museum focused on the material culture of social movements from the 1970s to the present. For committed (adult) children.

Stan, designed by the Guatemalan-born designer Luis Arrivillaga, is a low table in glass and tubular steel inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian. For “square” people.


Pooh-Table
is a table collection designed by Nendo for Walt Disney Japan, based on Winnie the Pooh and his friends’ stories setted in the Hundred Acre Wood. For children, but also for dreamers.

Vase Stone, a collection of vases designed by Martín Azúa and made in a very porous ceramic material, shows the beauty of objects of unrefined appearance.
 For aesthetes.

Oscar is a stylish and versatile desk by Giorgio Bonaguro for Valsecchi 1918, inspired by the “blotter” and the architect’s drawing board, in solid wood and leather. To feel like Oscar Niemeyer at work.

Re-Fire, a kit for manually lighting a fire, is a project by Francesco Faccin presented by Tempo Italiano. For explorers.


Designed by Ágústa Sveinsdóttir, Dust is a collection of jewellery that allows the wearer to experience themes of transformation and disintegration. For those who are tired of hearing that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”.

The Narcissus Desk by Sebastian Errazuriz, a continuation of his functional sculptures, which invite the viewer to look again at everyday objects, spaces and situations. For real (self)lovers!

The flavour of water, a collection of objects in glass and copper by Formafantasma for Lobmeyr that gives an ordinary everyday gesture such as the purification of tap water a flavour of magical alchemy. To bring a touch of magic in everyday life.

The research into materials carried out by a Dutch studio Belén resulted in textiles using wood-fibre, leather and steel and handcrafted processes. To dress yourselves and your homes in an innovative and sustainable way.

Incredibly light and easy to dismantle, Hope – designed by Francisco Gomez Paz and Paolo Rizzatto for Luceplan – presents the magic of traditional chandeliers, reinterpreting them with sophisticated modern technologies and contemporary materials. For a glittery and party-like atmosphere during your Christmas’ celebrations.


Tull Lamp, designed by Tommaso Caldera as a reinterpretation of classical workshop lamps, wherein the light source is protected by a wire netting attached to the metal diffuser. To tranform your house into an atelier.

Magnetic Motion, Iris van Herpeny’s SS 15 ready-to-wear collection in which she fuses nature and technology thoroughly examining the representation of dynamic forces of attraction and repulsion. For not to go unnoticed.


In Mondo Pasta the Subalterno 1 team, curator Stefano Maffei and seven Italian designers, attempt to turn pasta into a new experience of process, product and meaning. For pasta addicted.
