Crystal gems

Moser has been hand-crafting extraordinary works of art from lead-free crystal in the Czech Republic for the past 160 years. The new collection, presented in Dubai, proves that the artisans who have created masterpieces for kings and queens for over a century can also create contemporary pieces for the 21st century. The firm will soon open a boutique in d3.

Naturally beautiful

Portuguese firm Serip’s organic lighting continues to capture the imagination of the international design community, with interpretations of everyday scenes from the great outdoors. The latest Folio collection epitomizes the spirit of autumn and the artisans have captured falling maple leaves in metal and delicate crystal to create enchanting artistic symphonies of light and art.

These serene interior installations are dramatic, eye-catching and timeless.

Sparkling aura

Designed in Austria by the Swarovski design team, this stunning Sarella chandelier is a delicate composition of metal discs and crystal beading that glimmers and shimmers around fine glass arms. Its classic marriage of hand-finished metal and multifaceted crystal drops casts a beautiful, soft light.

This contemporary piece adds sophisticated glamour to any setting, without being too domineering.

Prize winner

Designed by Italian-Danish design studio GamFratesi, the Angie chair from Minotti is already turning heads.

Members of the prestigious Minotti family were in Dubai recently, during which time it had been announced that the sinuously shaped chair had won the Archiproducts Design Award 2019.

Minotti, in collaboration with Aati, is keen to increase the brand’s positioning in 2020. Watch this space…
