GET INTO the GROOVE
In 1998, furniture designer Yannick Gicquel crossed paths with his now-wife, Fanny, in Paris, and the rest, as they say, is history. From that point on, new designs and daring forms have flowed easily from the pair in an elevated take on Gicquel’s original focus. The couple has launched Popus Editions to produce furniture with an emphasis on architecture, design, color, and materials. In their latest collection, rattan pieces are bent in unorthodox shapes and paired with vibrant vintage-inspired patterns for a warm and inviting grouping of pieces. The Disco Pouf and the Fauteuil Annka Chair shown here feature vintage-inspired fabric with rounded rattan edges and contemporary feet. “The colored lacquer feet give [the Disco] that offbeat look we love," Gicquel says. popus-editions.com.





NATURAL BEAUTIES
As parents of three, the founders of Studio ROOF were constantly at play, interacting with their young children in imaginative ways. As they grew, it was more apparent than ever that flights of fancy and the desire to play is an all-ages sport that has an important place in everyday life. From that belief sprang Studio ROOF, a Netherlands-based design group that focuses on imaginative products using eco-friendly materials. Every piece is made of recycled cardboard and brilliantly colored with plant-based vegetable inks. The bouquet collection is a callback to the most original form of beauty: the flower. In bold hues and simple shapes, the bouquet collection is an easy and stunning way to liven up your space. studioroof.com.

PARADE of COLOR
The Parade Collection of rugs, fabrics, and wallpapers from Pierre Frey is not just a color story but one of daring and graphic designs using techniques that stimulate and excite. Inspired by the bustling art scene of interwar Paris, avant-garde design, and greater European influences, the collection features fabrics with geometric shapes in bright and cheerful colors made with natural and contrasting materials, and papers featuring traditional prints on pearlescent or gold backgrounds, 3D metalized techniques, and digital prints on thread. Cubism, expressionism, and abstract art inspired Pierre Frey's design studio to create this striking collection, with extraordinary embroideries that highlight rich techniques and the undeniable quality of French know-how. pierrefrey.com.







VERSATILITY REIGNS
Barrie Benson and Highland House are hardly newcomers to the design scene, but their signature Elsa Armless Banquette in bold patterns feels like a breath of fresh air. Drawing inspiration from midcentury pieces, the Elsa was purposely designed with placement in mind. It features low proportions that won’t block light in front of windows and set-back arms that make it easy to maneuver in and out. Endlessly customizable, this banquette is a perfect addition in many settings, but Benson loves it for kitchens to soften hard surfaces. highlandhousefurniture.com.




ALL THE SMALL THINGS
“Small things, beautifully done” is desktop design house Parvum Opus’ mantra. And from waste baskets to trays and everything in between, each of its products is a master class in elevating the mundane to something extraordinary. The latest collection of oval shadow boxes is inspired by a pair of antique “bubble glass” frames in founder Erika Stefanutti’s personal collection. Each box is handmade using modeler’s wood and colorful hand-marbled papers, with domed glass enclosing a collection of Italian plaster intaglios in two colors. Frame openings are finished with a jeweler’s brass bezel and ingenious inset hanging hardware that allows the piece to hang perfectly flush against your wall or bookcase. Says Stefanutti, “I hope these new designs become heirlooms in their own right and that they spark curiosity and inspiration, just like the pieces from centuries past.” parvumopus.com.
