Issey Miyake x Iittala

Designers love Japanese fashion house Issey Miyake, and now they’ve partnered with Finnish brand Iittala to create a range of homeware which includes pleated place mats, tote bags, and more. The collaboration – Issey Miyake x Iittala – has been in development for four years and includes thirty textile, ceramic, and glass pieces for the home. The technology developed for use in the pleating is fascinating, employing a technique that uses steam to pleat the fabric into origami-like patterns as well as a process that involves baking material in an oven. And that pastel palette? Perfect for spring.

Meteo

I have this thing for floor rugs, and greatly wish I could afford a few more so they could be switched out occasionally. The latest target of my affections is the Meteo line, a collaboration between French designer Inga Sempé and Golran. The contemporary Persian designs feature three different soft, contemporary geometric patterns that are each available in three colors.

Showdown Carpets

Showdown carpets are entirely fresh and different. Each one is created using urethane foam that is hand-mixed and poured into syringes before being hand squirted into lines and shapes. The end result is an experiment in color and patter that looks like a rug. Take a peek at the process below.

Chris Earl

Chris Earl‘s upbringing in Papua New Guinea instilled in him a respect for creating objects to fulfill a purpose, create a story, and build community. He puts it all into play in his line of furniture, tabletop, and ceramics where that trifecta is the guiding light. Functional, graceful, and timeless.

Fox & Ramona

A serious love of home accessories, interior design, and home decor was the driving force behind Fox & Ramona‘s 2011 inception in Melbourne, Australia. Each and every concrete piece is made in shop owner Kristy’s home, which she then juxtaposes them with freeform paint strokes.

PINCH

I’m currently sipping some green tea as I type, and I’m wishing it were out of this PINCH cup and saucer instead of a mug I’ve owned since college. Inspired by ancient clay oil lamps, this matte porcelain beauty excels at elevating a mundane experience.

Hübsch is doing sleek modern home goods just right. The homes they help to create are light and creative, practical. There’s plenty of tradition and history with room leftover for globetrotting. And above all they reflect the people living within their walls.
