The collection embraces an eclectic mix of materials, from wood to felt, glass and wrought iron. The pieces that best illustrate the type and variety of this year’s collection include the Cadcam tableware in strongly geometric designs by Minale Maeda and made of Yoshidayaki porcelain; and the Upon lamp by Ilaria Marelli, composed of two wooden pieces that can be moved to alter the lighting effect and produced using the old Kumico technique of slotting pieces of hardwood together.
Fiori di Filo by Laudani Romanelli is a flower holder in copper wire woven with a technique much admired in Japan for more than 1000 years (and traditionally used to construct kitchen utensils) and the Ovarin stool in fragrant Swiss pine, designed by Giulio Iacchetti and produced/assembled by Haute Material with a natural felt seat hand-crafted by Tumar in the Kyrgyz Republic using traditional nomadic skills.
