The 21 Project by Dio Horia Contemporary Art Platform

Mykonos-based contemporary art platform Dio Horia was invited by art restaurant The Twenty One to curate a rather unusual exhibition at the restaurant’s sun-filled space, on the ground floor of The Twenty One Hotel in Kifissia, Athens. The exhibition itself plays with the concept of artistic appropriation, and features works from seven Greek and international artists.

inEquilibrio Vases by Moreno Ratti

Italian designer and marble master Moreno Ratti presents inEquilibrio, his new line of marble vases. Made by Atelier Carrara in Italy, the vases seem to defy gravity with their oblique form; according to the designer, their tilt aims to give movement to the otherwise static material.

Revolve Bottles by Talia Mukmel

Israeli designer Talia Mukmel created these ornate water bottles while trying to imitate traditional handmade earthenware. The bottles however are in fact made of a special kind of bioplastic that imitates the look of fired ceramic. Commissioned by the Aybar Design Gallery in Miami, Mukmel’s bottles were produced in a limited edition of eight (plus 2 artist’s proof, plus one prototype).

T110 Table by Kastella 

This solid-wood dining table by Kastella is the latest addition to the company’s collection and features a tabletop made of Fenix, a new generation of hardened resin that is very low-maintenance and soft to the touch. The result is a table that is as durable as it is elegant, combining the functionality of the Fenix surface with the warmth of solid wood.

The MONO LAMP by Simon Forgacs

If you were born before 1990 you surely remember the pattern of TV test cards, usually displayed on the screen when no programme was being broadcasted. Budapest-born designer Simon Forgacs reimagined the round pattern of such a test card into a globe, and even added a light inside. The lamp comes in colour or black and white, depending on which era of television you love most.
