Time rediscovered

Designing the Hamptons collection, Ramon Esteve has taken his cue from a masterpiece of the American 20th century, the novel The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Sophistication, exclusive quality; but also mystery, intrigue, luxury. Translated into a contemporary language.

A series of pieces with essential but never stripped-down design, where the style emerges in the materials and the details. The structure in glossy coated metal tubing suggests the lightness of docks; that wooden parts that support the armrests remind us of old deck chairs; the wide stripes of the fabric make reference to beach cabins. An aesthetic vocabulary that speaks of summer, rediscovered time, rituals that are a tribute to the beauty of leisure. An aspirational collection, embodying the American dream and its appealing outdoor lifestyle, calm and relaxed, for enjoyable contemplation.

ItAll Comes from Above

The Constellation range of lamps designed by architect David Rockwell for Lasvit has seen the addition of some new light fittings. In keeping with the original concept behind the collection, that takes inspiration from the sparkling New York nightscape and the suggestion of the iconic celestial view that decorates the entire vault of Grand Central Terminal at Manhattan, the new lamps recall three constellations. Ursa Minor, that borrows its name from one of the most impressive groups of stars, is an elegant chandelier; Cassiopeia, that also takes its name from an important constellation, is a new wall light; finally

Gemini extends the range of lamps with a table version. The three pieces are the latest additions to the range that already includes a horizontal suspension, a wall light and a floor lamp, expression of the constellations Cassiopeia, Tri Star and Polaris.
