The design of the Walking on Clouds carpets was inspired by the depiction of clouds in a variety of media from different eras. Available in "dawn" or "dusk" colorways and a variety of sizes.
From tree bark to billowing clouds, plants, animals and insects alike, the great outdoors are an endless source of design inspiration. This week we are featuring pieces which honor the beauty and grandeur of our natural world, whether in name, form, or eco-conscious fabrication.
The Heracleum Endless features a perpetual blossom of new branches that multiply by the meter. Given the seed of a good idea, it may grow into any kind of environment. Let there be no end to the bloom of this Moooi lamp!
One of the world’s most famous designs, the Mushroom Chair by Pierre Paulin is soft, ample, and supremely comfortable. This armchair, manufactured by Artifort, takes residence as part of the MoMA's permanent collection.
Missana's Quetzal Armchair surprises, attracts, and traps. Inspired by the South American Quetzal bird, the chair can change the color of its feathers in the blink of an eye, thanks to 14 overlapped bicolor pillows.
Designs from the Riva 1920 collection are made using only materials from forestry plantations. This means that each time a tree is cut down, others are planted in its place, such that the circle of life is not interrupted and nature gets back what it has given. Using reforestation woods means living in the present, but thinking about the future we are creating.
Simplicity is the key to the Cloud Sofa, designed for Bolia by Yonoh. The clean sharp lines and thin (yet strong) metal legs give the sofa an international, clean, and minimalistic look.
The Rose Chair features a dynamic shell, with curved wood pieces which mimic the petals of a rose. This Massproductions design is sure to become the centerpiece of any interior.
Designed by Greta Grossman, the Grasshopper Floor Lamp was inspired by European Modernism imported to the US by a number of influential architects. Manufactured by Gubi, its thin frame and curved neck mimics the anatomy of a grasshopper.
Based on the powerful, organic shapes of cut tree trunks, the Isola Coffee and Side Table from Linteloo sit in contrast to the typical geometric shapes prevalent in contemporary design. To balance the organic nature of the top, the legs are more linear, blending two design languages in into a natural, effortless design.
The Bioma is a unique armchair which appears to be sliced from a natural tree trunk, but is actually crafted from fiberglass per the signature production techniques of Imperfetto Lab. Designed by Verter Turroni.
The Waves Modular System was inspired by the sea and the soft, gentle ripples running along the surface of the water. The pieces can be used individually, but they really come into their own when arranged in compositions.
