L’Ivresse des Bois by Marcel Wanders for Baccarat
Marcel Wanders, a self-professed hedonist of great wines, focuses his talent and humor on wine glasses and carafes which often have little character. Working with an oenologist, he added a Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne glass to the traditional blank, featuring elegantly turned stems engraved with his favorite seal. The famous clown’s nose that pops up in his collections has become a motif for the stem and the stopper, produced in Baccarat red or clear crystal. Two magnificently elegant carafes–including one decanter–complete this sophisticated line geared to all design and wine connoisseurs.

Dunder by Stefan Borselius for Blå Station
A section sofa and easy chair range born from an idea that all we need are pillows! One big to sit on, or perhaps two. One pillow to lean your back against. Perhaps a pillow to rest your arm. It would be nice if that was all, because pillows have nice shapes, squared but still rounded. Dunder are pillows. Pillows to provide comfort in every environment. All you need to add, is yourself, and perhaps even more pillows.
