Vitality by Neutra
This bathroom suite by Neutra screams life and renewal and rejuvenation! The suite’s fresh design blends warm, natural wood with cool, sculpted stone – truly a modern masterpiece. We love how the designer, Matteo Thun, has integrated nature into these modern sinks, vanities, countertops, benches, and check out the bathtub with the wood surround! Adding to their uniqueness, these pieces are made using Kauri wood (a rare, “ungrained fossil wood” from New Zealand). This raw yet refined, wood and stone, hard yet soft bathroom suite is beautifully, naturally at odds. Get more information by visiting Neutra.

The Tati Table Lamp by Kartell
A rectangular table lamp characterized by its extremely clean lines, squared off in a mood vaguely reminiscent of Deco taste. Tatì’s solid body of transparent polycarbonate encases an internal diffuser available in full color methacrylate, opaline and black or in a pleated fabric with a chrome steel weight in the support. The rigor of form and material, far from making it chilly or cold, on the contrary, creates an object of bourgeois allure which will fit in anywhere while maintaining its contemporary line. Different chromatic plays of light have the effect that when turned off, Tatì reveals the full color of its surface but when turned on, the adjustable intensity of light filtering from its sides lights up its whole body.
