H&D Hotlist #150: New design products, furniture and accessories
From a furniture collection inspired by a stroll through a lush tropical garden to an NFT-enabled online art marketplace, here are some of our favourites from the design world!
RAINFOREST RHAPSODY
Singapore-based Marano design furniture has launched two collections that will spruce up any modern contemporary home. One of them, Rainforest Rhapsody, is inspired by the lush forests of South-east Asia. The gentle curves and natural but vibrant colours are reminiscent of a stroll through a lush tropical garden.
Marano Rainforest Rhapsody retails from $3,250 for the Livise armchair. Visit Marano Furniture for more information.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Minimalist lighting isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. With the Gypsum Series, the recent addition to Sol Luminaire’s range, you can enjoy even sleeker lighting solutions than ever before.
Each Voli Gypsum Series sports a curved profile, including the Voli Gypsum Long and Voli Gypsum Short.
Dim to warm lighting options can be positioned anywhere for a soft glow rather than a direct glare.
FULL PROTECTION
Although Covid-19 is gradually becoming endemic, there has been a higher demand for air purification solutions at home. For example, Swedish air purification expert Blueair is offering its most advanced product to date: the HealthProtect air purifier.
Its in-built HEPASilent Ultra technology combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration to provide 360-degree, omnidirectional protection against viruses and bacteria around the clock – even when it is on standby.
In addition, it operates at a volume of between 30dB to 65dB, minimising distraction when the air purifier is running at its highest setting.
ART ADVICE
Not sure where to start when investing in artwork? RtistiQ, Singapore’s first blockchain-enabled art marketplace, has launched a complimentary art advisory service.
Do you want to evoke a new perspective in your space? You can schedule a one-on-one meeting with the artist whose work you admire through RtistiQ. Its curators are also available for a free consultation by e-mail or zoom call, followed by a shortlist of curates.
Through its app, RtistiQ also utilises augmented reality to simulate products.
