2016 marked a return to the celebration of dressing—there was a surprising amount of valet stands reimagined in sumptuous leathers and paired down designs.
Paraventi Berluti x Ceccotti Collezioni Parisian shoemaker Berluti joined forces with Ceccotti Collezioni, combining their expertise in leather and woodwork to create a series of pieces for the modern gentleman. The folding screen—crafted in solid ash and upholstered in one of four hues of Berluti’s Venezia leather—contains wooden framed glass shelves, hooks, and a brassrimmed mirror. ceccotticollezioni.it

Valet Collection by David Rockwell Stellar Works David Rockwell’s collection is meant to symbolize a new sector of furniture that supports everyday living, working, and entertaining. The valet itself creates an area of reprieve to transition from the busy outside world into a relaxed home. The leather bag holds two pairs of shoes, and there is a walnut shelf for personal items in addition to brass hardware.
At Superstudio Più in Via Tortona, Samsung and the Bouroullec brothers joined forces to create a new genre of television, designed with an artisanal spirit that considers technology and technical characteristics as well as the consumers’ lifestyle aesthetics and emotions. The result is a monochromatic frame and furniture element unlike any other on the market. samsung.com
