New Interior Design Products, Ideas & Styles

Rotoluxe - Souluxe

The Souluxe illuminated stands and planters in recycled plastic are powered by the sun, eliminating the need for electricity. Offered in myriad colors, they are coated with UV protection to prevent fading. Sizes range from small cubes and rounds to a 48-by-44-inch pot designed to hold large trees. 888-989-4968; rotoluxe.com.

Landscape Forms - Windmark collection

The Windmark collection of chairs, by Margaret McCurry, contrasts delicate details with bold shapes and lasting materials. The castaluminum chair frame can be paired with wood-slat seat and back panels or powdercoated metal ones etched with abstract organic patterns (grass, leaves, and rain). For woods used outdoors, choose from ipe, jarrah, black locust, and purpleheart; indoors, it's oak, maple, and jarrah. Available with or without arms and ottoman/seat; coordinating tables are an option as well. 800-430-6209; landscapeforms.com.

Edelman Leather - Authentic Woven

The pelt pro traveled to Italy to access the old-world techniques of master artisans and leveraged that expertise in Authentic Woven. European full-grain leather, aniline-dyed calfskin, and cowhide are meticulously woven into four 27-inch-wide, fabric-backed versions: Classic, Arturo, Alessi, and Balla. Color selections are virtually endless. 800-886-8339; edelmanleather.com.

Moroso - Moon

The reflection of light and shadow on the lunar surface inspired Tokujin Yoshioka to create Moon. He chose translucent white polyethylene for the material because it glows as ephemerally as its namesake. Available upholstered or not, the chair measures 29 inches high by 24 deep and long. 39-432-577111; moroso.it.

Herman Miller - LCW chair

George Nelson made his reputation as a designer. But could his real legacy be as an author? In 1948, the Herman Miller design director came out with a 72-page hardback, The Herman Miller Collection. Filled with illustrations and photos of furnishings by himself as well as Charles and Ray Eames, Paul Laszlo, and Isamu Noguchi, it sold for the equivalent of $29 today, an unheard-of price at a time when catalogs were distributed for free. More than a mere trade catalog, however, this brand-builder established Herman Miller as a definitive voice of American modernism.
Reviving the Herman Miller Collection name isn't just an exercise in mid-century nostalgia. The moniker now designates a product family rooted in the past but intended to evolve. Currently a 200-piece series, it comprises several subgroups beginning with icons that have remained in continuous production, unchanged. Meanwhile, discoveries from the company's vast archives have been re interpreted or updated. Nelson's 1954 pedestal table has been adapted as a stool, for example-with assis tance from his widow, Jacqueline. All four versions of the Eames dining and lounge chairs from 1946 offer upholstery options for the first time since 1957. The couple's 1948 side chair, discontinued because of environmental problems with its fiberglass-reinforced molded-plastic seat, was reintroduced in 2000, thanks to improved plastics technology, and is now also available in a richly grained rosewoodlike veneer. Making up the next category are selections from the Italian manufacturers Magis and Mattiazzi, resulting from exclusive U.S. distribution agreements. Finally, at the NeoCon World's Trade Fair in Chicago, the collection comes full-circle with brand-new furniture from luminaries-in-training: Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows of BassamFellows, Ayse Birsel and Bibi Seck of Birsel + Seck, Sam Hecht and Kim Colin of Industrial Facility, and Leon Ransmeier of Ransmeier. 888-443-4357; hermanmiller.com.

Rubelli - Ellora

The latest from the licensed Armani/Casa textile assortment is Ellora, a shadowy print reminiscent of a watercolor. Inspired by the image of oak branches against the sky, it's digitally printed on 53-inchwide swaths of cotton-silk. In addition to the silvery green Verde Acqua, color choices include Grigio, Tortora, and Verde Oro. Through Donghia, 914-662-2377; donghia.com.

Dornbracht - ATT

The multispray showering experience gets a major refinement with the ATT system: short for Ambience Tuning Technique. Its nerve center is the eValve, an electronic thermostat cartridge behind each outlet that allows for varied flow rates and temperatures from an array of sprays-something not possible until now. Preset programs (Balancing, Energizing, De-stressing, and so on) allow changes in lighting as well as pressure and temperature. Or choreograph your own water ballet on the sleek digital keypad. 800-774-1181; dornbracht.com.

Moura Starr - Olimpo

The elliptical tracks where gold-medal hopefuls go through their paces supplied both the name and the silhouette of the Olimpo coffee table. Black-lacquered carbon steel and açaí wood form the frame-59 inches wide, 36½ deep, and 16¼ high-that supports an oval crystal top. Standard options include 21 wood species, 14 lacquer colors, and nine varieties of crystal. 855-772-4753; mourastarr.com.

Dornbracht - Gentle

The first collaboration between the brand and the designer Matteo Thun resulted in Gentle. Its name refers to the soft shapes and graceful curves of its wall- and deck-mounted faucets, available with round knobs or single levers. Also in the line are tub, shower, and bidet fittings, all in solid brass with a polished-chrome finish. 800-774-1181; dornbracht.com.

Brokis - Simple

Is the glass half empty or half full? Barbara Manolo's Simple pendant fixture for Brokis leaves the answer up to you. Handblown in the Czech Republic, where glass is a specialty, the diffuser features a circular aperture through which more-is-more types can deposit keepsakes, even plant a terrarium. The glass itself comes in violet, apple green, or colorless at 20 inches tall. 420-567-211-517; brokis.eu.

Bart Halpern - Mori

Sure, it looks like handwoven four-ply silk. But the elegant and organically shaped pleats that populate the Mori family are actually flame-retardant polyester. Sold in 54-inch widths, the polyester-backed fabrics can be had in 32 colorways and 26 textures. Fitting for walls, windows, or upholstery. 212-414-2727; barthalpern.com.
