Style Design, form & function
Natuzzi Italia Mother Earth
Celebrating 60 years of design heritage, Natuzzi Italia’s Mother Earth collection reflects the Puglian origins of its founder, Pasquale Natuzzi, and comprises the results of five new design collaborations. Offering a number of furnishings suitable for spa suites or communal areas, the Ergo collection (pictured), by Ross Lovegrove, includes a chaise-longue, a chandelier and a stylish floor lamp. Also available are a mirror, a valet stand, a drawer set and a bed, all made from responsibly sourced, renewable and recyclable materials without the use of lead-based paints. Natuzzi’s Dandy collection by Marcel Wanders offers the Skyline seating system, a contemporary take on the classic Chester design that is electrically adjustable to aid relaxation and is available with an open or closed base. In addition, Mauro Lipparini’s modular furniture system, Cava, features seating, tables and a crystal glass-topped metal-framed coffee table, while Selva by Enrique Marti is a leather and fabric-upholstered sofa system inspired by Futurism and Art Nouveau. An eye-catching range of seats from Bernhardt & Vella completes the quintet of collaborations.

Bisazza q The Secret Garden
Continuing the incorporation of floral motifs within its collections, Italian ceramics specialist Bisazza has launched a new bouquet of designs by Carlo Dal Bianco, inspired by French beauty and elegance. Featuring Swarovski crystals to add extra sparkle to spa interiors, the new mosaic patterns include Bougainvillier (pictured); Malmaison, with oversized roses on a white background; Trianon and Petit Trianon, whose foliage and small wildflowers echo popular designs from the 1700s; Pensée, a romantic mix of wildflowers; and Hameau, with pastoral scenes of poppy and cornflower fields.

GoCycle p E-bikes
Created by former McClaren Cars designer Richard Thorpe, who believed e-bikes should be ‘elegant and desirable’, GoCycles benefit from a micro motor that is claimed to have more than double the power-to-weight ratio of conventional e-bike drives A bespoke front-hub motor separates the powered drive from pedal drive, and a sequential three-speed gear hub enables stationary gear changes for faultless start-offs. GoCycle products are currently offered for the use of guests at Purohotel Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca. From here, visitors can explore their surroundings on the company’s electric bicycles or, for the more adventurous, e-mopeds are available with ranges of up to 100km with battery exchange points distributed around the island.
