  • Accessories by Isaac Reina

    Isaac Reina started a fashion line under his name in 2006 and opened his first shop in Paris the same year.  Previously working with Hermès, he is the currently an accessories designer for Maison Martin Margiela.

    Attention to detail is evident when you look at the quality of his minimal and timeless collections.  There’s not a single part of his design that is excessive. This makes his line so unpretentious and something that can be used for the rest of our lives.  For many of us who believe in craftsmanship, you can truly find the appreciation through the quality of his work.

    Collaborations with some great designers has reinvented Baccarat for many contemporary applications. The collection below was designed by Arik Levy the Torch pendant and table lamp, and the Fantome suspension lamp. These designs stay true to the roots of Baccarat but break down their traditional chandeliers to their basic forms.

  • Cutlery | Arne Jacobsen for Georg Jensen
    Staff Picks | Published on March 6, 2010

    Arne Jacobsen was one of the leading Scandinavian architects and industrial designers of the 20th century. His 1957 introduction of a line of cutlery for Georg Jensen was definitely a highlighted moment in his impressive career. What strikes me most about his cutlery was how revolutionary it was. With extremely simple and bold lines, it was unlike anything that existed before. Previous styles of cutlery for Georg Jensen were nothing like those created by Jacobsen.

    The Lancaster chair and table by Michael Young is the latest wood/aluminum fusion by Emeco. Last year they introduced a solid wooden seat for their chairs as a change of options.

    This interesting project was completed with Emeco’s partners, a nearby Amish wood factory in Lancaster, PA (hence the name). The hand crafted sculptural wood legs join cleanly to the aluminum seat and back.
