Looking for the latest in furniture, decor, lighting, and beyond? Meet the industrys latest dynamic duos.Barber Osgerby x PuiforcatPhoto: Billal TarightBarber Osgerby x PuiforcatPhoto: Billal TarightBarber Osgerby x PuiforcatOutside of Paris, in Poissy, the Villa Savoye beckons to architecture buffs. Completed by Le Corbusier in 1931, the modernist reinforced concrete marvel seemingly floats, propped up by slender stilts. These pillars, known as pilotis, informed the design of Barber Osgerbys candlesticks and candelabra in a collection of the same name for French silversmith Puiforcat. To emphasize the sleek, solid silver silhouettes, the London-based industrial design studio played with right angles and curves and incorporated geometric rectangles into circular bases that seemingly vanish from different perspectives.Shop the CollectionGert Voorjans x Carpet SocietyPhoto: Thibault De SchepperGert Voorjans x Carpet SocietyPhoto: Thibault De SchepperGert Voorjans x Carpet SocietyWhen renovating the soon-to-open Shangri-La Hangzhou hotel, Antwerp-based Gert Voorjans was entranced by its proximity to scenic West Lake. So, as he dreamed up the vibrant Joy collection for Carpet Society, rugs hand-knotted in India and Nepal of hemp, cotton, jute, and 100% New Zealand wool, the UNESCO World Heritage Site once again served as muse for the oval-shaped Megalopolis. Emblazoned with a striking lotus flower, it calls to mind ancient China, a powerful complement to the other patternsthick geometric stripes, a bold fusion of oceanic blues representing water and sky, and a fiery swirl of red and orange.Shop the CollectionSzilvassy x In Common WithPhoto: William Jess LairdSzilvassy x In Common WithPhoto: William Jess LairdSzilvassy x In Common WithFelicia Hung and Nick Ozemba, founders of the Brooklyn design studio In Common With, first introduced their minimalist Disc Surface Mount in 2019. Now, as part of their limited-edition Curio series, the duo has called upon artist Shari Lowndes to gracefully reimagine the light fixture entirely in ceramic. Referencing her familys migration to Australia following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, Lowndes, founder of Melbourne studio Szilvassy, hand-threw each piece using native Australian black midfire and white raku clays, then heightened the luminaires with rich glazes. More of Szilvassys creations, including dishes, jars, and vessels, can be found exclusively in New York at Quarters, In Common Withs convivial concept store and gathering space in Tribeca.Shop the CollectionSam Baron x MateusPhoto: Gustaf SjovallSam Baron x MateusIn 2018, Lisbon-based French designer Sam Baron teamed up with Yatzer on a monochrome tableware range for the 25th anniversary of Mateus. It was such a hit that it sparked a long-term collaboration with the purveyor of Swedish-designed, Portuguese-made ceramics, including last years launch of the Flowers collection. This month, Baron debuts a sophomore setting with the Blossom dinner and side plates, rendered in fresh teal and denim blues and made for mixing with the rest of the collections Tulip and Water Lilies assortment. With Blossom, the hand-painted garlands romantically meander across a background of white glazingShop the CollectionTammy Price x RHPhotography courtesy RHTammy Price x RHFor more than three decades, Tammy Price has crafted relaxed California interiors that meld organic materials with grounding neutral hues. Now, the founder of Los Angelesbased AD PRO Directory studio Fragments Identity translates that sensibility into a trifecta of RH textile collections spanning pillow covers, throws, and beach towels in such earthy shades as burnt caramel and washed black. Mojaves jacquard-woven striped and banded motifs recall the windswept desert, while the yarn-dyed wool embraced in Taos, New Mexico, mimics the landscapes textural nuances. Terrain, a blend of wool, silk, and hemp, evokes the canyon through color-blocking, top-stitching, and batik details.Shop the CollectionMary Matson x Temple StudioPhotography courtesy Temple StudioMary Matson x Temple StudioSeaside revelry courses through Los Angeles artist and illustrator Mary Matsons work. The FOMO-inducing scenes are on full display in the artists new assemblage of wallpapers and fabrics for Temple Studio, which cull from her carefree sketches and photographs. There are chunky beach towel stripes, nostalgic sun prints, and resilient dune flowers, as well as abstract odes to Santa Monicas postmodernist 1980s town homes. But most transporting are Matsons whimsical takes on Southern California icons like surfing hotspot Rincon Point and Venice Skatepark depicting locals in motion.Shop the CollectionBeata Heuman x MylandsPhoto: Nick TydemanBeata Heuman x MylandsKnown for injecting her interiors with bolts of electrifying colors, Beata Heuman has, for years, longed to develop a luminous paint collection. This season, the Swedish-born, London-based AD100 talent has joined forces with fifth-generation, family-owned British paint maker Mylands to hatch 24 trusty, naturally pigmented shades for every occasion. Dubbed the Dependables, the water- and plant-based colors run the gamut from golden Wheatsheaf and glamorous chartreuse Caca dOie to Crayfish Party and Stockholm, ideal for vivid punches of red and blue, respectively. Overwhelmed? Of course theres the no-fail, versatile, and warm Beata White too.Shop the CollectionEny Lee Parker x CC TapisPhoto: Alejandro Ramirez OrozcoEny Lee Parker x CC TapisDuring Mexico City Art Week last month, the late-1940s-designed Casa-Estudio Max Cetto was enlivened by a site-specific installation curated by Studio 84 featuring Clay Scan, Eny Lee Parkers new rugs for CC-Tapis. Building upon her hand-sculpting process, the New York designer captured the malleability and tactility of 3D clay through a scanner. Those impressions, forged by rolling, pressing, and shaping techniques, were then transformed into Himalayan wool rugs brought to life at the CC-Tapis atelier in Nepal in tones of creamy white and deep terracotta brown.Shop the CollectionAPPLY NOWGrow your business with the AD PRO DirectoryArrow
