Maison&Object features lifestyle products from toothbrushes to doors, and everything in between.  This means that even the smallest home accent in 2018 can be beautifully and skillfully designed.  We love the sleek and innovative dual-sided candles from COSSTRA.  The handmade candles feature two different fragrances, one on each end, so you aren’t limited to a single scent.

 

COSSTRA presents the CANDUAL, the world’s first REVERSIBLE candle…. A collection in balance between simplicity, originality and technical tips, offering unique products. The COSSTRA candles are handcrafted in France and Belgium, in crystalline glass and natural SOJA wax. Our perfumes are developed by our perfumer in Grasse. We have developed a filling service, so our Candles are candles for life.

So let’s make 2018 the year we get creative with gift giving.  Instead of always reaching for a bottle of wine, choose something that will make a more memorable impact.  These Shimmer Tea Lights from Zaha Hadid would make a stunning gift.  Plus it is also one which the recipient can enjoy for years to come.

The ZAHA HADID DESIGN collection 2018, is on view in Hall 7 NOW! Design à vivre.

In 2018, we expect to see luxury designers experimenting with new and also unexpected materials. One example is Matias Di Carlo’s use of hot forged metal to create this stunning bathtub. This then elevates this common household fixture into something remarkable.  

 

With exceptional techniques and moving between art and design MATIAS DI CARLO pushes the limits of metal to create timeless masterpieces. MATIAS DI CARLO presents his characterful creations which masterfully blend an array of metals with the use of exceptional techniques. Moving relentlessly between art and design his distinctive language uses the transforming power of fire to shape metal into sculptural furniture. His work comprises one-of-a-kind objects, limited editions as well as commissioned works in the fields of furniture and architectural installations.
