and Kim Colin – Run
table and bench
“Run effortlessly finds balance in both indoor and
outdoor landscapes suited for meeting, eating, learning, sharing and working.
Run is shaped to acknowledge the benefits of being around others, so tables are
welcoming and useful, made to work purposefully well with many of Emeco’s
existing chairs and stools, including the original Navy Chair.”

“With Run,
Sam Hecht and Kim Colin have designed a collection of “pure utility.” Whether
long or short, high or low, inside or outside, Run is a system that provides an
architect or designer an adaptable tool that works for any application.”

“Balancing
background and foreground, texture, color and pattern to create immersive
environments, we are continually exploring the expressive possibilities of
living space. We work to blend the beauty, play and abstractions of art with
the functional utility of design, thereby creating a product that inspires and
invigorates the backdrops of our lives.”

Cirrus -
non-repeating wallpaper
An
atmospheric collection, inspired by the formation of clouds.
Calico
Wallpaper began with the inspiration to move art beyond the frame and
incorporate its elements into everyday interior spaces. Through experimentation
with the re-appropriation of traditional art forms, and the digital enlargement
of unique, handmade patterns, the idea was born to create custom fit, non-repeating
wall murals.

Object
Funno -
Pencil Sharpener + Paper Weight
Funno is a
pencil sharpener machined from a solid block of metal and hand polished with mirror
finish. While the minimalistic design eliminates traces of this object as a
tool, it has a mysterious appearance that invites viewers to touch and interact
with it.

Orbis –
Fruit Bowl
Obris is a
tray collection aimed at challenging the visual balance of objects. Through
attaching a simple base to a circular band at a minimal point, an illusion of
suspension in space is created.
“Beyond
Object is a design-led brand focusing on desktop objects and home accessories.
We believe functional objects can be designed and crafted as art.”

Copper Shade
The familiar
sphere gets squashed then stretched to create a new pair of complimentary forms
in the trademark mirrored copper, allowing new clusters to be formed, lower
ceilings to be illuminated or narrow corridors to be colonised by the Copper
family.

Landscape Collection
wool –
bamboo
The
Landscape Collection is not just a tribute to the greatness of nature, but an
evocative experience. It's a sensory journey, involving touch, sight and
memories we all share of sounds and scents. The Earth seen from a certain
altitude shows all its glory: the more one rises, the more the shapes of nature
as we know them from a human point of view, change their identity, exploding in
a symphony of colors, textures and complex geometries that create an emotion.
Shore
Round Weave
– Garden party
Shore is an
innovative rug company, their resourceful use of synthetic materials makes full
use of the essential benefits and capabilities. Each Shore Rug is handmade and
unique, developed closely with silicone manufacturers in the heart of England’s
historic weaving industry and woven entirely by hand in London. Simple in
composition and perfected in construction, they are timeless, honest, and can last for years.
Shore
The unique deep weave structure of a
Shore Rug offers cushioned support as well as a textured, dynamic surface. This
provides a massage-like experience as well as proprioceptive feedback,
heightening the balance skills necessary to maintain stability, agility, and
coordination skills and are excellent anti-fatigue mats and work great in
offices and workplaces underfoot at standing desks.
“At Shore,
we believe a rug can be both beautiful and exceptionally functional.”

Rocking PacMan
“Rocking
PacMan is a bench about trust, balance and opposition. It is best described as
a ‘love seat see-saw; it requires at least two people to activate it; sitting
on opposing ends, rocking each other back and forth as on a rocking chair,
while stopping one’s partner with their feet.”
The piece is
made from reclaimed White Oak, recovered by Sawkill Lumber from a mid –century
New York City distillery from an old vermouth barrel

Bennett - Peel and Stick Patterned Floor Decals
The Peel and
Stick Patterned Floor Decals tile designs are printed onto durable, adhesive
backed vinyl, using the most cutting edge printing technology available. The
24" x 24" sections are then laminated to take some serious abuse. The
low tack, re-adjustable adhesive backing make them a breeze to install and will
not damage the existing floor.

The Pendants
boast a hand sprayed color interior which creates an ombre illusion when
switched on. The futuristic form is of a solid wood piece and has subtle angles that
are individually finished and sealed with clear lacquer.
"I believe that form
should come first, closely followed by function."
