Big Table by Alain Gilles for Bonaldo

“As if it were walking, each foot stretches to reach further away. Whatever the angles, it always looks strikingly different from one point of view to another, as if you could never really grab it.”
- Alain Gilles

The legs of the Big Table are made of steel plates that have been laser cut and folded. All the legs have a different width, and have been cut and bent in order to reveal the different tonalities of their own colors.

Corona Globes by Nendo

Watanabe Kyogu makes high-spec, hand-applied globes at their educational products firm in Soka, Saitama Prefecture outside of Tokyo. Nendo wanted to take full advantage of Watanabe Kyogu’s high level of craftsmanship. They were also interested in creating a new kind of globe that would be more emotional, rather than simply presenting information. By reducing the amount of information, and rendering the oceans in white and land masses in black, the corona globe highlights the reliefs of islands and coastlines.

w102 Task Lamp by David Chipperfield for Wästberg

The w102 task lamp references an archetypal personal desk lamp for home or office use, and seeks to offer a fresh interpretation of the familiar on a domestic scale. The lamp is predominantly made from brass – a material commonly associated with lights, though not so widely used today – with details in rubber. The intention was to create a simple form with a clear distinction between a base, a single arm and a lamp head. The lamp has no visible joints and minimal directional movement, without compromising its function.
