from the editor
Mood of the month • We’re taking cues from the sunny, laid-back style most commonly found in beachside interiors dotted along California’s coast for this look, which is dominated by earthy colours, surfer-esque wave shapes and furniture that wouldn’t look out of place in a 1970s dream home
colour • Draga & Aurel enthusiasts won’t be the only people excited about the studio’s latest technicolour piece: ‘Glint’. We’re convinced everyone will be mesmerised by this cabinet’s pastel hues and glossy glow. Its striking doors are crafted from sheets of the studio’s signature acrylic-plastic resin, Lucite, which has a milky, opaline finish and fluorescent highlights. Price on application (rossanaorlandi.com).

outdoor • With its contemporary shapes and utilitarian design ethos, Space Copenhagen’s new outdoor range for &Tradition ‘celebrates life in any outdoor context’. Named ‘Thorvald’ after Copenhagen’s Thorvaldsens Museum, it comprises a solid-steel side table, café table, dining table and stackable chairs, and comes in ivory, black or forest-green.

Signor non-stop • To date, he has worked with every major Italian furniture manufacturer going, yet at the age of 74 architect and industrial designer Antonio Citterio’s Maxalto range proves he’s showing no signs of slowing down
Delicate metals • Is it over for Y2K-styled tubular chrome furniture? We think so. After years of chunky and inflated silhouettes dominating interiors, a slew of magnetic designs are embracing a more streamlined, ornamental aesthetic. High shine still reigns supreme, but today, metals such as aluminium and stainless steel are taking on forms that meet at the intersection of art, furniture and jewellery. These treasures are designed to adorn a room and act as a reflection of elegant personal style rather than take centre-stage.
