NEW & NOTABLE

What’s New This Week, From Our List Members

Paul Smith lends a stripe of color to Anglepoise’s Type 75 lamp, Art Deco tablewares and other art de vivre from Puiforcat, and an open-concept kitchen island by Space Theory.

New & Notable is a cultural catchall that highlights interesting new products and projects from our brilliantly creative members of The List. With new releases, events, and goings-on, the below moments indicate the power they have to move the needle in so many realms, including architecture, design, fashion, and art.

 

Puiforcat

“A sphere is the ideal geometrical figure,” French silversmith Jean Puiforcat once quipped. “And the curve, close to the circle, is a more noble line than a straight one.” That sentiment comes to light in the heritage French silversmithing brand’s Archival Trunk Show, taking place at Just One Eye in LA  through April 1, which contains some of Puiforcat’s most recognizable Art Deco pieces such as the Socoa tea and coffee set, Visionnaire shaker, and Hamac cup.

Designed as a standalone piece, Daylight uses a relatively simple base—a 24-inch grid of welded steel beams—and delivers a multitude of customizable storage options that are both flexible and beautiful.

Ame Jewelry

Celebrating the archetypal form of the totem, a spiritually grounding symbol that represents union, Âme’s Totem series features lab-grown diamonds set into restrained bars of white, yellow, or rose gold. The collection unites a series of circular forms with miniature stacking blocks, inland with pave, linear baguette, and channel-set diamonds that emanates delicacy with finesse.
