FUNCTIONAL ELEGANCE

With a wide array of bathroom fittings ranging from pedestal sinks to bathtubs, sculptural designs by Philippe Starck and the Qatego collection by Studio F.A. Porsche, the Duravit showroom is a tasteful destination on your bathroom renovation journey. It’s been open to distributors and business clients since 2013 but has now opened its doors to homeowners for the very first time as well. duravit.com 

LIGHT DRAPERY

Inspired by bubble tea’s chewy tapioca pearls, Aeon’s Boba debuted as a wall lamp earlier in August and is now joined at the Lab2.1 by a new family member: the Boba Chain pendant. This new light dangles its frosted “pearls” from stainless steel chains whose length can be adjusted and draped as you desire to embellish your space. It’s available in two sizes and three colorways: full steel, black/gold, and black. Available at the Lab2.1, solluminaire.com.sg 

SOOTHING TEXTURES

Created in collaboration with American interior and product designer Claudia Afshar, Cosentino has announced the newest surfaces collection in its unparalleled lineup.
