Celebrate These Artisans Merging Tradition with Modern Design
1. Daniel Germani for Berhardt Design
Product: Ice
Standout: The kitchen maestro—and 2024 HiP Award winner!—expands into occasional tables with an all-glass design pairing a handblown base with a cast top, available in three ethereal gradient-style colorways.
2. Patricia Urquiola For Andreu World
Product: Nuez Lounge BIO
Standout: A ribbed wraparound shell in a thermopolymer generated by live microorganisms gives the Hall of Famer’s lounge chair biodegradable and compostable properties and a carbon footprint equivalent to timber.
3. Patrick Jouin for Pedrali
Product: Ester
Standout: The Hall of Famer’s 2013 armchair is now offered as a lounge variant with even softer and more generous shapes for increased comfort. We can just picture its elegant, enveloping frame perched in a hotel lobby.
4. Yinka Ilori For Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering
Product: Yinka Ilori x Momentum
Standout: In this debut, the British-Nigerian artist/designer’s ability to infuse spaces with culture and storytelling dovetails with the maker’s commitment to fostering creativity in commercial environments.
5. Cory Grosser For BuzziSpace
Product: BuzziShroom
Standout: A nearly 2-yard-high, fabric-upholstered foam floor lamp by the Pasadena, California–based designer fuses acoustic control with illumination, its quirky Seussian charm belying its functional prowess.
6. Dorothy Cosonas For Wolf-Gordon
Product: Sampler
Standout: A nostalgic polyester fabric embroidered with overlapping matte and metallic yarns draws on a practice sampler the designer’s mother stitched when she was a young woman.
7. Carole Baijings Of Stylex
Photography by Charlie Shuck.
Product: New color palette
Standout: The recently appointed brand creative director curated a color story replete with playfully complementary contrasts to apply across the manufacturer’s wares, including Yoom modular seating by Anthony Land.
8. Alyssa Coletti For Martin Brattrud
Product: Azusa
Standout: The Nonfiction Creative founder debuts minimalist tables that balance lightness and strength via bases of thin folded-aluminum panels cradling tops of quartz, stone, solid-surfacing, or wood.
