News and trends

Nature is a recurring theme in this

year’s design sphere – from Pantone’s

verdant “greenery” hue to the use of

natural materials and vibrant prints. In

this vein, Beels & Co presents its new

console table, designed by Carlisle

Design Studio. “So much of life is spent

in cities, surrounded by technology

and the demands of busy schedules,

that almost everyone enjoys the idea

or reality of the contrasting world of

nature,” says Tom Beels. “In translating

this into luxury design we use natural

materials that have been refined by

skilled hands and specialist machinery

to bring out the most desirable

qualities.” This particular console is

plated in nickel, complemented by

white onyx blocks and laser-cut

bird’s-eye maple marquetry. The

curving table top was made to fit

exactly against a specific wall. It is

priced from £20,000, depending on

specifications. beelsandco.com

Great outdoors

Turning a knob is so last season. Dornbracht’s new

Touchfree contactless control commands water to flow

without the eyesore of any visible sensors. It’s a

seamless match for any basin in the Dornbracht series.

Where most controls use infrared sensors, Touchfree

uses high-frequency technology to turn on a tap.

Like a motion detector, it can be set to different ranges

to suit. Touchfree will be available for delivery at the

end of 2017. dornbracht.com

Minimalist touch

Club chairs, inspired by art deco

and eggshells, are part of a new

collaboration between architect and

interior designer Suzanne Lovell and

sustainable materials company Nature

Squared. The Cracked Eggshell

Collection will encompass a limited-

edition range of furnishings. “The trend

right now is designed furniture sold in

editions that carry more value because

of the limited number produced,” says

Lovell. “This limited edition pair is truly

couture, an instant heirloom, and best

sold as a pair.” suzannelovellinc.com

Cracking chairs

Thibaut presents Oasis, a collection of complementary

Sunbrella fabrics. The beautifully soft materials are

stain-fast and light-resistant, and are durable enough to

double as outdoor fabrics as well – ideal for a sundeck. And

even if the younger guests make a mess, the fabrics can be

washed without shrinking. thibautdesign.com

Softly does it

Bespoke

bliss

Glyn Peter Machin has three new bespoke interior pieces for superyachts.

The central piece of the Big Blue dining table is a one-inch thick piece of glass

replicating the color of the Med. Steel surrounds the glass and the table is trimmed

in solid wenge, while the edges are filled out in grainy zebrano. But the

conversation piece is the rippled sycamore Composition Cabinet, above, which

hosts a sound system. All are made to order in Denmark. glynpetermachin.com
