Every year since 2007, we’ve paid tribute to bright new talents in our industry. To give something back. To create the space and capacity for new superstars, new ideas and new ways of designing.

Because we truly believe that something unique is created in the intersection between tradition and innovation. And that fresh, new talent is the future.

At the heart of the Bande Armchair is a desire to combine functionality with striking visual impact – using minimal expressive means, honest natural materials, an expressive silhouette and ergonomic comfort.

Through the curated interplay of three core materials – wood, leather and upholstery – the design opens up a wide range of finishes, offering both subtle monochromatic nuances and bold, contrasting statements.

Flow is a sculptural ceramic bowl and strainer shaped like a funnel, designed to balance and tilt as if in motion. Its form and function go hand in hand: the funnel shape gives it its interactive, conversational presence while also enabling it to wash, rinse and dry fruit and vegetables with ease.

I wanted to create a design that demonstrates how a single, subtle change in form can generate multiple functions. The pinch detail transforms each object in a different way, acting as a handle, a pouring spout, or a place to rest your spoon or collect eggshells. Through this simple gesture, I aimed to create a cohesive product family where functionality emerges naturally from the form itself.

The idea of Root connects to childhood summers spent with my grandfather, who taught me to work with wood by hand and think in forms that are useful, beautiful and never unnecessarily complicated. This memory shaped my belief that design must be honest and functional.

The Root chair is a quiet object designed to become part of a room, not dominate it. Its structure is simple but not simplistic; every joint is visible, and every detail supports a perfect balance between strength, comfort and natural presence.

Tea time is a universal – yet different – experience. Across many cultures, it is a sacred moment. Rooibos herbal tea mug and tiered stand celebrate these moments.

The herbal tea mug – comprising a mug, a filter and a lid – is designed for herbal infusions or loose-leaf tea. The tiered stand consists of two trays that can be stacked or used separately.

This set of pieces, crafted from lightly textured ochre stoneware, plays on an aesthetic contrast between a matte glaze on the outside and a glossy glaze on the inside.

It started with a simple question: what is light? The sun is our greatest source of light, while also being essential to all life on earth. The connection between the sun and life led me to the Fibonacci spiral, a pattern found throughout nature. Inspired by the principle of hiding the light source while letting the light take centre stage, I translated the Fibonacci pattern into overlapping lamellas, creating a form that hides the bulb while allowing light to emerge softly through the gaps.

The idea behind Lean sofa started from my own way of using a sofa. I often sit or lie lengthwise rather than upright, so I wanted to explore how a sofa could offer better support in that position. This led to the inclined side, which works as both armrest and backrest, creating different ways of sitting and relaxing within one coherent piece.
