Palette table for &tradition

This year marks Maison&Objet’s twentieth anniversary of bringing together decoration, design, furniture and accessories in this grand exhibition. Cameron Bruhn explored the exhibits and displays at the September 2015 edition of Maison&Objet in Paris. Here are his favourites from day one:

Palette table for &tradition

Designed by Jaime Hayon for &tradition, the Palette table is a lesson in geometry. One version features a round shape together with a hexagon and an elongated oval. Another version has a painter’s palette shape, while another juxtaposes a rounded rectangle with an elongated oval and a circle. Each table is a composition of three distinctive shapes beautifully balanced at different heights which form a unified whole.

The Palette table also combines materials, with polished marble, oak and metal all used for the surfaces.

TIM lights from Bomma

Bomma presents a new collection of lighting objects called TIM, created by design duo Michal Fronek and Jan Nemecek who make up Olgoj Chorchoj. The series of large flame cut globes was named TIM after the successful exhibition Tim Burton and His World for which Olgoj Chorchoj designed the crystal cupolas. In the TIM collection, glassmakers’ skills and strength combine with purity and clarity of crystal. The collection consists of two different sizes, with the larger globe weighsing over 20 kilograms and the smaller around 16 kilograms. All the globes are blown by hand and each piece is completely unique.

different pieces, each of which has a gentle lightness thanks to its pure, archetypical forms. Each product can be used in a number of different ways and combinations.
