Janette Laverrière’s vibrant pieces could be the work of the contemporary designer as they all embody clever indications of their ambiguous functionality without losing sight of joie de vivre.

During London design week 2004, celebrated designer Gaetano Pesce is launching his new Alda Lamp collection at Rabih Hage. The Alda Lamps come in three designs, in various vivid colours and are made from polyurethane material to make them moveable and flexible. The lamps’ colours and unusual shapes are inspired by the sea and its creatures, specifically jellyfish.
