His new series for de la Spada might just be the best lighting thing Benjamin Hubert has done. The British designer’s always had a great eye for form, but what I love about these lamps is the combination of light source, form and material as equal partners in the design.
My pick for best chair at this year’s Milan Furniture Fair: The Bouroullec designed Baguette for Italian brand Magis.
Like a moth to a flame, I keep coming back to these beautiful new pendants by London designer Samuel Wilkinson, where light bulb and shade share equal billing.
Some of the pieces work better than others I grant you. (I especially like the wall shelf Prelude # 4). But there is a sweetness about this work by French artist/designers usin-e that lifts my spirits. And that’s enough.
Your own little piece of the Dorset countryside, just a click away. I love this first online collection from British contemporary craft furniture makers Another Country, presented last month’s London Design Festival.

French designer Sam Baron has created three invertible vases for Italian brand Secondome. Lovely, aren’t they?
London designer Mathias Hahn‘s E8 is my kind of table: beautiful, understated, yellow and, to quote the designer, long enough to let you to push all the work stuff to one end when it’s time to eat.
For fans of the fabulous Bouroullec brothers, a visit to their temporary summer exhibition space in Le Corbusier’s Radiant City apartment building would feel like an afternoon among friends…
The real deal. Piero Lissoni has designed the new Boffi showroom in Via Solferini to look and feel like a real apartment.
