Stickbulb Pendants by Rux
New York City architecture and industrial design firm Rux sources sustainably harvested or reclaimed wood—including Coney Island boardwalk ipe and local water tank discards—to create simple bars fitted with linear LEDs. Stickbulbs, as they're called, are modular units that can be arranged by the end-user, or predesigned as striking pendants, floor or table lamps, and wall sconces.
Alejandro Cardenas Collection
While no stranger to designing fashion fabrics, artist and illustrator Alejandro Cardenas has only recently created his first interior textile line. Designed for KnollTextiles, the eponymous collection consists of three graphic patterns: Glider abstractly references constantly shifting views, as might be seen by someone gliding through the air; Biscayne features a floral motif constrained by a grid; and Soon is a mosaic-like field of color. Glider and Biscayne are cotton-polyester-nylon blends and Soon is digitally printed on 100% cotton sateen.
Modern Door Collection
TruStile's new Modern Door Collection offers an up-to-date alternative to the traditional rail-and-stile format. While it has the same character and advantages as the multipanel construction, such as resistance to warping and bending due to the separate components, it complements contemporary and minimalist architecture with its symmetrical, linear patterns formed by right-angle components. The doors are available in various woods or MDF, and with accent panels of glass, resin, leather, and metal.
Verona Island Range Hood
The Verona Island range hood by Zephyr Ventilation features a sleek glass-plane canopy with built-in LEDs that can change from white to blue or amber to suit both the kitchen design and the cook's mood. The hood not only reduces energy consumption by almost 80% but also utilizes the company's DCBL Suppression System technology to reduce operating noise by up to 77% compared to standard units. Verona Island is available in 36” or 42” widths.
Mack Door Hardware
Geometric motifs and obtuse angular planes define Mack, a series of escutcheons and assorted door components that range from pulls to pushes, square knobs to vertical and horizontal levers, and lock sets to doorbell plates. All the hardware is hand-cast in bronze with 90% post-consumer recycled content, and finished in a hand-applied patina that grows richer over time. Metal color and texture options include silicon bronze light, medium, dark, rust, and brushed; bronze dark lustre; and white bronze light, medium, dark, and brushed.
