dsgn | dancing squares - nendo

Japanese designers Nendo present new work at Art Stage gallery in Singapore this month.  

Called Dancing Squares, the show will include a bookshelf, lamp, stool and table, each made up of distorted or tumbling squares.

One part of the bookshelf is frozen in its cascade of tumbling planes, creating variety in the way books can be stacked.

The stool’s twist endows it with visual play.

Fashion designer Paul Smith has reworked a coffee pot by late Danish designer Arne Jacobsen to mark the 50th anniversary of Danish brand Stelton.

Smith has selected a range of 12 colours for the handles of the stainless steel Cylinda coffee pots, from bright tones to pastels.

The British designer has also created a corresponding collection of stainless steel bowls with 54 different colours applied to their inside surfaces and lids, called Dot.
