High design: this month’s most elegant, innovative furniture pieces

Amid their debut furniture collection, the Turkish brand Deya’s luminous glass tables emerge as sculptural statements. Each piece rests on a mouth-blown glass base, where an artisanal heart transforms molten material into organic forms that celebrate imperfection. Fine variations are proof of the craftsman’s commitment to ancient techniques, while tempered glass surfaces promise enduring resilience. The collection floats between worlds—substantial yet ethereal, robust yet delicate.

Piero Lissoni’s Ohe armchair for Fendi Casa celebrates Philippine craftsmanship through elegant bamboo cane and rattan construction. This outdoor collection honours traditional weaving artistry while embracing contemporary luxury sensibilities. Vegetable fibre cushions feature water-draining fabric, ensuring practical outdoor performance without sacrificing comfort. Metal details showcase embossed FF logos, subtly asserting Italian heritage within a tropical-inspired design. Here, bamboo’s organic warmth meets Fendi’s meticulous attention to detail, creating pieces that bridge cultures through thoughtful design.

Sibylle de Tavernost’s inaugural collection pushes the traditional tartan into the modern sphere, ensuring this heritage pattern adds dimensionality to any space. Each hand-knotted masterpiece emerges from Northern India’s skilled artisans, crafted from premium New Zealand wool. The palette balances muted hues with jewel tones—deep wine lees, velvety khaki, vanilla cream and muted sage. The graphic precision of each piece encapsulates de Tavernost’s artistic freedom.

Elisa Ossino’s Helium Mini for De Padova transforms matter into luminous poetry, playing with transparency through handcrafted glass enriched with ine sand powder. Hidden aluminium structure ensures stability without visible ixings, while thin black joints outline its delicate proile. The lamp emits warm, dimmable light that envelops spaces in a soothing atmosphere. Helium Mini proves that technology and aesthetics merge seamlessly—light refraction becomes artistry, while its distinctive design enables ininite conigurations.

Through the Ashanti stool, Jomo Tariku distils ancient reverence into its current iteration. This striking piece honours the Golden Stool’s legendary power through thoughtfully curved seating, which evokes the royal throne’s divine authority. At the same time, the circular base celebrates the round golden regalia of spiritual purification. Here, two sacred symbols unite in modern dialogue, bridging centuries of Ashanti Kingdom tradition with the demands of modernity.

Milanese designer Federica Biasi transforms contemplation into form with Rue, an unconventional candleholder that deies gravity and expectation. This suspended sculpture marries industrial precision with poetic vulnerability. Above the room, the curved arches dance in perpetual tension. Meanwhile, a spark plug cylinder anchors the composition, celebrating the honest beauty of metalworking. Each element holds meaning: the curves suggest life’s arc, the tension mirrors our daily struggles and the light offers a promise of eternity.

Giorgio Bonaguro’s Brick collection for Carpanese Home elevates the ordinary into the profound. The Brick D sideboard challenges conventional symmetry—large modules dance asymmetrically around supporting legs, creating visual tension that captivates the viewer from all angles. From bedrooms to living spaces, the sideboard balances geometric precision with organic warmth. The piece honours Bellani family woodworking traditions while embracing contemporary design language.

Axel Chay’s Modulation floor lamp challenged lighting design with its audacity. Chay now curates its evolution with intentional rarity, introducing confident new variations: powerful red pulses with energy, subtle brown whispers sophistication, while brilliant finishes catch light like liquid metal. To maintain the integrity of each piece, Chay conducts limited releases that preserve the functionality of each piece while allowing continued evolution.

The playful twist on Fendi Casa’s Arches Legs table embodies Fendi’s iconic arch motif, creating a harmonious balance between material and form across myriad combinations. The rectangular silhouette offers two sizes to accommodate various living spaces while maintaining an eye-catching presence. This design demonstrates how signature motifs can evolve beyond decoration into structural poetry, balancing functionality with refined entertaining.
