Editor’s Picks: 11 Product Designs That Are Inspiring Us This Month

“Contour” Collection | Designed by Bodo Sperlein, the “Contour” furniture collection draws inspiration from the clean-curved silhouettes of the 20th- century Art Nouveau movement.

The finish is created using the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban technique.

“Scarlet” Wallpaper + Fabric in Gold/Dark | The Melbourne-based designer Louise Jones’ wallpaper features bursts of colors and bold botanical motifs inspired by Australia’s native wildlife. To achieve the almost 3D effect seen on the wallpapers and fabrics, Jones uses a combination of different mediums, including watercolor paintings and her own photography. The result is a vibrant collection that seemingly pops off of the paper and fabric!

Wormhole from Il Bronzetto | Freely inspired by a twentieth-century lamp model, the name of the collection, WORMHOLE, hides a very deep meaning for the company and its creative director. In astronomy, a wormhole is the space-time tunnel that connects one universe to another. It represents the temporal and conceptual passage between the artisan workshop Il Bronzetto, deeply connected in shapes and materials to its history and tradition.
