For ten thousand years, humans have been shaping glass objects for everyday life.

LIANES FEUILLES CHAMPS-ELYSEES

Using the iconic pattern of the CHAMPS-ELYSEES leaf, Lalique Interior Design offers a bespoke lighting fixture which brings a gentle and delicate light to any area. Each Champs-Elysées leaf is individually lit at their center, and their placement and angle can vary depending on the environment; As a vine like chain of crystal falling down from the ceiling, or as a dense foliage across the length of a table.

The Lianes concept of the Champs-Elysées can be spread out, or concentrated into small clouds, offering an ever-adapting product for any chosen space or environment. (The number of leaves and their placement, and drop can all be modified).

Knots Rugs is to launch a collaboration with Nat Maks, the Margate studio founded by artist Natascha Maksimovic, who works with the ancient Japanese technique of Suminagashi ‘ink floating’ Marbling. Eight original artworks in individual colourways have been painstakingly and sensitively reinterpreted by Knots Rugs and its fine artist founder, Bonnie Sutton.
