Salone select

Tor y Kingdon previews the best of this year’s

edition of the Salone del Mobile design fair

Visionnaire

The theme for Visionnaire’s new range of furniture and accessories is

“breathe”. Inspired by the idea of meditative spaces, the collection uses

natural materials, including wood, stone, marble, raffia and bamboo. The brand

will be collaborating with new designers Roberto Lazzeroni, Marco Piva and

Armando Bruno, as well as former collaborators Alessandro La Spada, Mauro

Lipparini and Giuseppe Viganò among others. One of the stand-out pieces is

the beautiful Jason dining table by Lazzeroni (above), featuring a tabletop of

three types of marble arranged in a geometric pattern. visionnaire-home.com

The annual exhibition in

Milan showcases the latest in

international furniture design

Lasvit

As well as promising a lighting

extravaganza, the glassware

connoisseurs will be presenting a series

of new tableware collections. These will

include the Otto collection designed

by Yabu Pushelberg – stemmed

glassware with an etched clear crystal

design and a solid, weighty base (right)

with matching decanters, carafes and an

ice bucket; Circle by Milena King,

beautiful one-of-a-kind mouth-blown

table glasses; and Yakisugi, designed by

Kengo Kuma, which draws inspiration

from a Japanese technique used for

preserving timber and results in a

unique contemporary glassware design.

There is also Zig Zag by design duo

Lars Kemper and Peter Olah, a range

of colourful glassware with a spiral form
