MAISON & OBJET: WHAT’S NEW? DECOR
To analyse the latest arrivals in terms of decoration, Elizabeth Leriche has organised her MAISON & OBJET “WHAT's NEW?” space into 3 contrasting atmospheres. Minimal Brutalist is natural and minimal, Luxury Graphic is luxurious and dramatic, whereas colourful Ethnic Arty combines different cultures. Each has its key materials and asserts its own unique style.
SCALA TABLES & CONSOLES
This line of leather covered furniture and objects were inspired by the “stacked” form often seen at the base of some buildings in Italy, as well as the famous heel of Salvatore Ferragamo. This selection of stools, nightstands and sideboards have an identical recurring pattern, superimposed and highlighted by deliberately thick legs, giving a delicate graphic line. Now, with a change in perspective, the same shapes and proportions become centerpieces, boxes, lanterns and vases. Wallpaper* Design Award 2018 Winner

Animal head
Handmade by the indigenous women of Central America, these animal heads have their origin in shamanic rituals. Corinne Bally, who discovered this craft more than nine years ago, enhanced it by working closely with indigenous tribal women. Made in the same way as for the rituals, with the same materials and in the very heart of the tropical jungle, these masks keep the magical spirit of the spirits from which they originate. They are now unique art objects in the world, the fruit of the collaboration between the artisan and the designer.

SPECULUM mirror table
The SPECULUM collection truly consists of reflection. A simple box shape made much more interesting with mirrors covering its entire surface. The illusion of space and beautiful reflections is the perfect result of the SPECULUM tables that comes in serval sizes and colors.
ARIES CANDLE HOLDER
Aries takes its inspiration from traditional candleholders, when a tiny enhancer was allowing to raise the candlestick so as to always keep it at the right height. Placed in the middle of the photophore, a carved marble piece here reproduces this millenial gesture and gives the illusion that it holds the candle. A metaphoric yet sharp and very contemporary piece. Dimensions : Ø 142 mm H 80 mm Ø 141 mm H 250 mm Matériaux : Marbre Paonazzo, Calacatta, Portoro, Emperador
Beam Bench
Wood and stone combined in one object. A precisely machined lava slab wedged into a solid beam. Inspired by the works of Chinese artist Fu Zhongwang, I tried to see the joint not from a technical but from a sculptural perspective. My focus was on the contrast of hard and soft materials as well as structure and proportion. I would say that this work is a lot about balance, much like the philosophy of yin and yang. The lava stone comes from Clermont-Ferrand, France and the cedar wood from Switzerland. Both materials are ascribed special energies.
Bliss Big blue
Inspiration for this project came from a sample that Mae Engelgeer created, shaping round curves and trying to create a 3D effect. After a period of using straight graphic lines, and feeling almost captured by it, she felt the need to use bold shapes again. Keeping the playfulness of the Memphis movement in mind and experimenting with shape and color was the start of the BLISS collection. Mixing elements like pattern and form with different production techniques giving life to the rugs. Using high quality materials like Himalayan wool with pure silk makes some parts literally glow.
Cirque
Lamps with slender thread-like structures in brushed brass, that change form to create infinite geometric compositions. The figure, suggesting circus gear, is interrupted by capsules that project continuous light. The elements can be chained to create a game of infinite forms where the start of one part mingles with the end of another.
Mini Birds Triplet
A set of three birds, pared down to their most basic forms - creating a celebration of geometric shapes and patterns. A modern style addition to any tabletop or shelf. 17 X 12 cm | 6.69 X 4.7" Part of the Umasqu Mini collection Handmade to order All of our items are hand-painted, unique with their own character, and just like us humans, they have some unique features, not imperfections Made from a combination of different materials such as American Walnut, Veneer, MDF, Formica, Perspex, Plastic, and Felt and are all colored with quality Molotow™ Premium colors.
