April 2017 Product Briefs: New Hospitality Products
These contemporary classics engage guests with their color, texture, and form.
Spokes
Inspired by a bicycle wheel, this Foscarini fixture has a bi-directional LED source at its base that illuminates surfaces beneath it and casts striated shadows around the room as light filters up through its wire rods. Made of epoxy-coated steel, with discreet wiring and an aluminum heat sink, it comes in white or yellow, and elliptical or spherical formats, including one that’s extra-large.
Hairpin Stacking Table
In honor of cofounder Florence Knoll’s 100th birthday in May, Knoll is adding new pieces to her eponymous collection— each inspired by archival designs. The Hairpin Stacking Table, a reintroduction of the Model 75 stool (1948), stacks up to five-high and pairs a circular laminate top (in black or white) with a bent, cold-rolled steel base available in powder-coated white, black, blue, red, yellow, or green.
Cozy
Designed by David Rockwell for Maya Romanoff, this woven heathered-wool wallcovering and upholstery collection features six graphic patterns in tonal, metallic, and high-contrast colorways. The sartorial offering includes Daydreamer, a dynamic Escheresque diamond motif available in five color combinations: Shearling/Cocoa, Cotton/ Charcoal, Gray Fleece/Orange, Gray Fleece/Charcoal, and Peacoat/Chartreuse.
Edge
Rocky Mountain Hardware’s latest door hardware provides the level of quality the company is known for, but with a more contemporary 2"-wide escutcheon—a ½" narrower than its existing art-bronze offerings. Ideal for high-end residential and hospitality projects, Edge comes in six textures, 10 finishes, and a range of components for all functions, from entry to interior and sliding. Custom options are available to the trade.
Keel Dining Chair
Part of the Moray outdoor collection but equally suitable for indoor use, Holly Hunt’s stackable Keel Dining Chair features a spare powder-coated aluminum frame and a textured contoured seat made from a durable, woven synthetic-cord fiber that also wraps the arms. A proprietary combination of colors in each fiber gives depth and texture to the weave.
Eyes Lounge Bench
Created by the Danish design studio Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen, this new bench addition to the Erik Jørgensen Eyes collection provides comfortable individual seating for lounge, lobby, and waiting areas, with an option to accommodate as many as five upholstered shell-like seats on its steel base.
Pila
The simple cylindrical form of this versatile Estiluz fixture, made from cork and spun aluminum with a textile cable, makes for a handsome light source whether it is suspended from a ceiling and clustered in groups, or configured with a horizontal support and plug for placement on a shelf, table, or floor. Available in black or white, it houses an adjustable LED light source (10W/850-900 lumens).
Code
One of seven new designs from Carnegie Fabrics’ Uncommon Threads collection of panel textiles, Code mimics the texture of raised Braille and dot matrices and has a hefty linear weave that intertwines highsheen and matte yarns for a pronounced tactile quality and shimmer. Ideal for upholstered walls or panel systems, Code is UL-certified and comes in a 66" width.
Studded
Spanish studio MUT Design’s Studded collection for Peronda Ceramicas creates a mesmerizing optical effect with a grid of small geometric reliefs and bas-reliefs that subtly manipulate light and shadow. The rectified wall tiles measure 12½" x 35" each and come in two finishes, matte and glossy.
Yop
Designed by Lievore Altherr Molina for Arper, this folding table pairs a balanced four-legged base—available in seated or standing heights—with a high-pressure laminate surface that can be flipped down for easy storage. (A fixed version with a wood-top option is also available.) The tops come in three shapes (circular, rectangular, or square) ranging from compact 23½"-round or square models to larger 71" x 31½" rectangular versions supported by two bases.
