WARMTH AND TECHNOLOGY: TITANIUM FINISH.
The new titanium finish perfectly integrates the hinge into the design of the cabinet conveying a sensation of warmth and
at the same time incorporating modern functionality. The colour, new and different compared with the traditional blued or
nickel-plated finishes, is less invasive and has a muted sheen. The titanium reflections make this hinge ideal in
combination with darker interiors and with the numerous shades of wood available. The good reflection properties and the
technological aspect of the hinge allow a perfect integration with the place where it is to be inserted, also suitable in the
lightest interiors. The corrosion strength is considerably increased compared to the classic nickel-plated finish.

The look is emphasised by the cabinets

which offer a wide range of material and

The kitchen can also be selected with

Following the P'7340 kitchen launched in

2007, Poggenpohl has again collaborated
with the Porsche Design Studio to create
the P'7350 kitchen concept.
Launched during Eurocucina 2014 at the

company’s Milan Design Centre, P’7350
is a more open and flexible design in a choice
of both gloss and matt finishes in white, grey
or black. The design emphasises the vertical
as well as the horizontal lines in the kitchen.
This has been achieved by mitering the door
and drawer fronts and the carcase. As a
result, a fine vertical line is achieved on
the front of the units which visually connects
the vertical and horizontal surfaces.

Minimal Marvel
Valcucine launched the latest version of its
Riciclantica kitchen at Eurocucina. Designed
by Gabriele Centazzo, the kitchen has a light
aesthetic, thanks to what the manufacturer
claims to be the world’s first 2mm door.
The design uses materials such as aluminium,

steel, layered laminate and glass, with doors
based on an aluminium structural frame and a
slim yet sturdy look.
Valcucine says that Riciclantica ticks the boxes

of what it sees as the four cornerstones of
eco-compatibility: minimum consumption of raw
materials and energy; long life; recyclability;
and non-toxic finishes.

DE NATURA FOSSILIUM
by Formafantasma
Another highlight from the fair, responding to
the acceleration of change, was ‘De Natura
Fossilium’ by Formafantasma in collaboration
with Gallery Libby Sellers. Its widespread
acclaim demonstrated people’s growing desire
for archaic and eternal materials as things
become ever more ephemeral.
Inspired by the concept of locality and the

power of nature, the Italian design duo once
again stood out with their innovative approach
towards material exploration. Inspired by the
eruption of Mount Etna in November 2013,
they started a holistic investigation into lava
as a design material.
The applications range from the more

familiar use of basalt stone to more extreme
experiments with lava in the production of
glass and the use of lavic fibres for textiles.
This stunning collection of stools, coffee

tables, wall hangings and smaller
assemblages embodied by contrasting
geometric volumes use rough stone, basalt
in varying levels of porosity and high gloss
glass in the deepest shade of black. The
pieces beautifully highlight the multifaceted
characteristics of this timeless material.

RED RIDING HOOD

by Hanna Emelie Ernsting
Austerity fatigue is creating a strong desire
for escapism, a charming sense of which was
offered by German designer Hanna Emelie
Ernsting who was showcasing her ‘Red Riding
Hood’ chair, a cosy escape from the humdrum
of day-to-day life.
Red Riding Hood is a felt armchair with an

attached grey blanket that has a vibrant red
underside. When the user draws the fabric
around them, the red is revealed creating
a cape-like effect reminiscent, as the name
suggests, of the iconic apparel of Charles
Perrault’s popular heroine Red Riding Hood.

PROTRUDE & LIGHT by YOY

Our increasingly digital lives can feel very
predictable; big data is anticipating our needs
before we know them ourselves, whilst geo-
location services make getting lost virtually
impossible. All this certainty makes us crave a
little uncertainty, surprise, magic, and wonder.
Excitingly, Japanese design studio YOY gave
visitors to Milan exactly that with their latest
collection of designs that play with illusion and
“bring humour to an ordinary room”.
Our particular favourites from the collection

were ‘Protrude’, a tray that looks as though
it’s about to fall yet doesn’t and ‘Light’,
a table lamp and floor lamp that project
their shade onto a nearby surface.
The design duo’s theme is “to create

a new story between space and objects”
and we anticipate that many more
designers will explore stories of
illusion in the coming year.

Design Week
2014
The annual showcase of emerging

design talent returns to the
Business Design Centre this month
New Designers has launched

over 100,000 students into the
professional world since it began
29 years ago. Arguably the most
important design event in the
UK for emerging design talent, it
ensures that the life cycle of the UK
New D
design industry continues to thrive.
The 2014 show will welcome over

3,000 of the country’s most creative
and fresh thinking graduates to the
Business Design Centre in London,
offering visitors the chance to meet
and establish contacts with some
of the most talented new designers
to emerge from the leading design
colleges and universities.
Taking place over two weeks,

the exhibition is divided into two
parts covering a host of creative
disciplines, with Part 1 (25-28 June)
featuring textiles, fashion and
accessories, contemporary applied
arts (including ceramics and
glass) and jewellery and precious
metalwork. Meanwhile, for Part 2
(2-5 July 2014), the focus is on
furniture and product design as
well as visual communication.
Running across both parts,

One Year On is always a highly
anticipated element of New
Designers. It showcases a group
of over 50 emerging designers in
their first year of business, selected
for their entrepreneurial flair and
exceptional quality of work.
This year One Year On welcomes

Gemma Fabbri as its new curator.
Fabbri is founder of London design
