urquiola & mutina

Déchirer, en français, means to tear or rip up. Patricia Urquiola's Dechirer Collection for Mutina features stunning ceramic tiles that look as though they were recently unearthed and expertly restored; ready for worship.

Urquiola via the Mutina site:

I’m very interested in working on large-size formats, such as cement modules and unusual shapes such as hexagons. And I’m also fascinated by the idea of creating an industrial product in which traces of the layers of history are present, a product with a personality. Bas-reliefs of different heights which are not so much decorations as the remains of torn away memories.

The tiles come in several different sizes and 5 shades. The larger tiles feature the exact same repeating pattern and sizes go up to a generous 120 x 120 cm/ 47 x 47". Also, they're intended as wall or floor tiles. Lots and lots of potential to make huge changes to a space!

hella jongerius; artificial vases

The ridiculously talented Hella Jongerius designed these limited edition vases with artificial flowers for an exhibition this past spring titled, Hella Jongerius - Natura Design Magistra. The Gallery that housed the exhibition in Paris is Galerie Kreo and, lucky for you,  some pieces are still available.

The details are beautiful; the vases are made of ceramic and glass and the flowers are created from materials as diverse as leather and plastic. The scale here is larger than one might expect. For example, the green glass vases with the accompanying flowers average a height of 90+ cm- over 35".
