India Mahdavi is a French architect and designer of Iranian-Egyptian origin. Since the beginning of her career in the 1990s, she has developed through her interior design projects a style associated with a certain vision of happiness and colour, which she has largely contributed to putting back on stage. Since then, his international success has led him to work with Maja Hoffmann, the Beaumarly group, the Valentino house, the Ladurée house, the Société des Bains de Mer de Monaco, etc. But also Alber Elbaz, Adel Abdessemed. She designs and designs private residences all over the world, from Paris to London, New York, Siwa to Egypt, Sydney, but also hotels, restaurants, shops. His objects, starting with the Bishop family, are among the most important icons of contemporary decorative art.
India Mahdavi’s signature celebrates a cosmopolitan, polychrome party, influenced by cinema, as much as by design and art. Abstract prints and figurative motifs with pop accents exalt a nomadic culture, of which the rue Las Cases, with three addresses in Paris (the studio, the showroom, the small objects), is the epicentre.

Giovanni “Gio” Ponti, (Milan, November 18, 1891 – Milan, September 16, 1979), is one of the Italian masters of architecture. He was also a designer and essayist and one of the most important of the twentieth century. Other than the great architectural works which carry his unmistakable signature, he created a vast amount of work in the furniture sector. This is demonstrated in his three Milanese houses which were fully furnished in the “Ponti” style. The houses in via Randaccio, 1925, Casa Laporte in via Brin, 1926 and the last in via Dezza, in 1957 is an “expression” of his home design ideas.
The D.859.1 table, designed primarily as a meeting table for up to ten people, stands out not only for its impressive size—over 3,60 meters long—but especially for its simple yet refined design. The legs are notable for their fine-membered modernity, creating a trapezoidal single-span bridge upon which the large tapered top conveys the idea of aerodynamics.

Le designer belge Kaspar Hamacher fait des tables à base de rondins de bois et du feu. Appelé Ausgebrannt (brulé en allemand).
La Nature est son domaine de recherche où le design devient une intervention physique plus que conceptuelle pour transformer un élément naturel (sa matière, sa forme) en un objet fonctionnel. La rudesse et la génuinité de la nature jouent un rôle central dans son travail. Il s’intéresse à la création de produits purs et honnêtes caractérisés par des formes harmonieuses.
– –
Taking nature as his basis, Kaspar Hamacher (1981), Eupen, (BE) is focused resolutely on physical rather than conceptual design. As he says himself, he feels more craftsman than designer The things he can do with wood appeal to the imagination: whether it is a tree stump or a piece of leather, the key is authenticity in every step of his design process. Hamacher’s working method always results in a unique, personal piece. A piece of design with a deeper meaning; with a soul.

The stone is the star of the show in these tables which were designed by Michael Anastassiades with the specific intention of highlighting the opulence of the marbles chosen for his collection ‘Love Me, Love Me Not’.
In the words of Michael Anastassiades “I wanted to use regal colours which conveyed a sense of the grandiose, through the sumptuousness that is associated with marble. Simultaneously, I didn’t wanted to overwhelm the eye and so it was necessary to strike a balance between this lavishness and the functionality and of lightness of the tables”. Instead of the highly polished look often associated with marble, the designer chose a matt finish so as to bring a more contemporary touch to the stone, highlighting their specific qualities through this subdued process.
The simplicity of each table is misleading. For example, if we take the legs, those of the rectangular dining table look like a conventional four-cornered leg but if you look closely you will see that they are, in fact, curved. This has the effect of not only reducing the physical volume, but also creating a sense of the leg drawing back. And, on a practical level, it eliminates any sharp edges under the table which could come into contact with the thigh once you are sitting close at the table.
For the round table Michael placed the three legs just far enough to ensure stability, but again creating maximum comfort for those seated.
