12 Days of Christmas for Disegno

We’re one of 12 designers who have produced a seasonal design using Fedrigoni paper to celebrate the holidays. Sponsoring the project, Fedrigoni and Disegno will be donating to Article 25, a disaster relief charity.

To find out more about the project and see each of the designs posted along with a description from the designer, keep on eye on the Disegno website where they’ll be publishing one design each day from 24th December. Happy Holidays!

Lightweight - a new collection of luminaires

Lightweight - a new collection of luminaires

The Lightweight collection started with the idea to develop an alternative to shipping heavy lamp bases around the world. Instead you use heavy objects that you have at home to balance these lamps. The baskets are designed to hold stones (like gabions), books, perfume bottles, plants, postcards or other collections.

Launched as part of the Squirrel’s Electro Garden Party this studio-produced collection includes a desk light, a hanging light and three different floor lights, and is available exclusively from our shop.

Fantastical footwear collaboration with Tracey Neuls pops up exclusively at Selfridges London

Fantastical footwear collaboration with Tracey Neuls pops up exclusively at Selfridges London

We’ve collaborated with footwear designer Tracey Neuls for London's biggest design week of the year and it’s available exclusively at Selfridges.

The meeting between Tracey Neuls and Tord Boontje was one of those moments when the world felt very small despite one being Canadian and the other one Dutch. They found their approach to design to be uniquely similar despite Tracey being a footwear designer and Tord a product designer.

Previously in 2010, their like-mindedness resulted in a special edition shoe where Tracey used a printed fabric of Tord's - normally seen on furniture. This playful approach to design has brought them back together in 2012 celebrating.....Squirrels! As it turns out, both Tracey and Tord have a great liking for these inquisitive, clever, little town and country creatures.

Together these two designers have created footwear where time is suspended and there are no rules of play.

The shoes are like unique collectors items and this limited edition collection is available exclusively at Selfridges from August 27 – September 16 2012.
