Australian New Volumes’ approach to furnishings and objects could be surmised to be one in response to the diminishing presence of the natural, textural, and the imperfect – designs defined by a materiality serving modern living innately attuned to the earthly elements. The brand’s terrestrial aesthetic and ethos is in full display with the brand’s follow-up collection dedicated to various applications of baked clay, aka terracotta, for seating, lighting, entertaining, and display. The form of Echo Low (above), Cove chair (center), and Echo High (right) by Thomas Coward reference classical Greco-Roman architecture realized in clay rather than marble. The Pitcher…

One minute your baby is learning to crawl, the next minute they’re putting together furniture by themselves. At least with Interlockables they can! The collection, designed by New York-based design brand House of RoRo has a whimsical yet functional quality, very much reminiscent of the iconic wooden Elephant by the Eameses. In fact, like the Eameses, Belgian interior designer Anne-Sophie Rosseel (who also founded Rosseel Studio) believes that child-friendly furniture and objects should be able to exist in adult spaces and be given every bit of consideration as any other design, especially to reduce overconsumption. “I was looking for ways…

Now we know, thanks to Gomez’s go-to nail artist Tom Bachik — and not only is it a masterclass in minimalism, it’s also budget-friendly!For the gala, Gomez and Bachik decided on a “high gloss glam” mani that is truly the definition of “your nails but better.” First, Bachik prepped the star’s nail beds and cuticles,…
The ongoing collaboration between Globe and the Eames Office has proved a fruitful venture over the years. Focusing upon the nexus between furniture design and skateboarding, the brands have worked together to interpret the Eames design perspective and creative process into numerous 4-wheeled collector items. Their newest addition to the Eames Office x Globe collection, the Eames Lounge Cruiser, draws inspiration from arguably the most iconic representation of the Eames design legacy, the Eames Lounge Chair.
