Style and sophistication
Alessi’s “Forma” cheese grater is one of the last projects designed by the Iraqi architect, Zaha Hadid, for Alessi – known as the Italian design factory – which has manufactured household products since 1921. Just as its name emphasizes the main feature (forma means shape in Italian), the grater’s ergonomic shape, inspired by the natural formation of pebbles eroded over time, is carefully designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the user’s hand. The secret of the ease of handling hides in its metal surface that is punctured by the unique hole pattern. The product definitely adds a taste of architecture to the kitchen table top.
A bag with attitude
The Swedish brand Acne Studios is known for simple, posh and quality pieces. One of the brand’s well- received product lines is the Musubi bag. Inspired by the traditional Japanese obi sash, the Musubi bag makes an artful impression with its expertly shaped leather. While instantly recognizable with its unique bow, the bag maintains its minimalist look with featured white hand- stitching for extra detail. The Musubi bag is definitely one that has the qualities of an office bag we all need – big and roomy, yet elegant and chic.
French Chic
Pearl has always been Jeanne Lanvin’s beloved design element. Traditionally handcrafted in France, the “Lanvin Perles” series is a tribute to the classics with its poetic fashion design. By using the technique “Bouillonné” adopted from Haute Couture, the brass bracelet is more aesthetic with white and grey Swarovski beads and an adjustable clasp with exclusive “Lanvin” engraved coin.
