Discover The Designers Revolutionizing The Market
Deborah Moss of Moss and Lam
Photography by Paul Wright.
Product: Colonna
Standout: A terra-cotta side table made in Italy nods to art history— namely, the evolution of columns, flutes, and capitals, which the Toronto designer strove to render in a form “both contemporary and compelling for today’s context.” Through Holly Hunt.
Cara George of Otea
Product: The Rendezvous
Standout: The artist/designer’s new wallpaper and textile company, Otea, named after and celebrating the generous spirit of her late great-aunt, launches with a collection of hand-drawn patterns that blend flora, folk art, and architectural nostalgia.
Sandra González Borrallo and David Ramos Quiros for Annud
Photography by Cualiti Photo Studio.
Product: Onigiri
Standout: The cofounders of Spanish firm Dibloo Estudio have crafted tasteful ottomans in oak plywood and Ultraleather that sport a black elastic band—akin to the seaweed strip wrapping the titular Japanese rice balls—that doubles as a handle. Through Annud.
Soffy Dombernowsky and Mikkel Lang Mikkelsen of Studio About
Product: Flex Tube
Standout: Create your own gallery-esque light art with the cofounders’ 1⁄2-inch-diameter, LED-lit silicone tube—in warm white, warm red, blue, or bright pink (shown)—that can be bent, shaped, or draped any which way. Through Teak New York.
Ferréol Babin for Friedman Benda

Product: Forest
Standout: The byproduct of an artist’s residency in Turin, Italy, the French designer’s carved-oak bench with mounds of mossy upholstery is a highlight of his debut solo show, “Fragments,” at the Friedman Benda gallery’s Los Angeles location through February 1.
Elizaveta Zholtaya and Maria Romanova for Palaty

Product: DP1
Standout: Constructivist buildings on piles informed the DA Bureau architects’ kitchen island, with columnar supports clad in glazed, hand-molded ceramic. The cabinetry’s wood veneer was reconstituted from furniture-manufacturing scraps. Through Palaty.
Alexandra Burr and Allen Slamic of AlexAllen Studio
Product: Cane Cluster
Standout: Hand-assembled in AlexAllen Studio’s Brooklyn workshop, the chandelier sprouts a trio of brass-finished steel curves. Surfacing them with flat LED downlights maintains the fixture’s minimalism while emitting a warm glow.
Alicia Gimeno for Knots Rugs
Photography courtesy of Knots Rugs.
Product: Subiksha
Standout: Although the artist is based in Barcelona, Spain, it was her time spent working—and the girls she met—at an NGO that provided the name of the hand-knotted wool, silk, and linen rug, its pattern derived from her abstract calligraphic canvases. Through Knots Rugs.
