Heatwave by Joris Laarman for Jaga
Stunningly styled, the Heatwave radiator from Jaga is the essence of functional art. The intricate, curling craftsmanship of the Heatwave radiator is reminiscent of a bygone Baroque era when attention to detail was everything. Yet, this haute-couture bas-relief does not lend its beauty to your home at the cost of functionality, rather, the twisting form [...]
Easy Rider by Danny Venlet for Bulo

The impetus is on the structural shapes of the furniture pieces and how they relate to their surroundings. Function merges with form and comes before decor. The couch consists [...]

Internal watch
Designed by Leon Ransmeier for Vlaemsch, this cocooned watch is encapsulated in leather rendering it non-functional as a timepiece. The designer explains, “The hidden watch transcends typical associations of status by isolating the emerging form rather than acting as a flashy signifier.” The watch supposedly contains a fake Rolex.

Orchid is a set of clothes-hooks, the petals bent so that articles can be hung from them. This is a product in the sphere of emotion, refinement, poetic beauty and harmony. As such, it can also be simply decorative and give rise to floral combinations. Convinced that objects can change the world, Charlotte Lancelot tackles [...]
