Baracche Wall Lights by Paolo Gonzato
Milan-based Paolo Gonzato’s wall lights are inspired by baracche, meaning shacks in Italian, found on the outer reaches of the city. "Their undulating forms reference the sheds’ corrugated-iron roofs," says Beatrice Bianco, co-founder of Milan’s Camp Design Gallery, which presented these crude-looking yet strangely beautiful lights made of irregularly shaped industrial glass in sky blue, flesh pink, brown, and charcoal gray. Strip lighting is embedded in their grooves, while the lamps’ utilitarian orange cables emphasize their industrial aesthetic and influences.
Antwerp-based gallery Valerie Traan showcased a family of furniture by the studio Muller Van Severen.

In a cavernous, monochrome area occupied by Antwerp-based gallery Valerie Traan stood a family of furniture—cabinets, a bench, and a chair—assembled from identical aluminum tubes. Their metallic sheen gave them a chilly appearance, yet they looked elegant thanks to the economy of materials used. Alltubes is the latest collection by cult Belgian company Muller Van Severen, founded by husband-and-wife team Hannes Van Severen and Fien Muller. The austerity of Alltubes, they argue, is tempered by such details as bent tubes forming the chair’s arched backrest. They could also have mentioned the decorative, scalloped edges at the top of the cabinets and playful use of ice-blue anodized aluminum for one bench.
Arthur Hoffner showed a fountain that takes inspiration in the postmodernist design of the '70s and ’80s.

Idiosyncratically combining porcelain, sandstone, brass, marble, and Plexiglas, this polychrome ‘interior fountain,’ as its creator Arthur Hoffner describes it, has echoes of 1970s and '80s postmodernist design—think Studio Alchimia or Memphis. The young French designer, who studied industrial design at ENSCI—Les Ateliers in Paris, co-created it with venerable French porcelain manufacturer Sèvres. Yet it’s anything but traditional: "I envisage design as a mischievous source of pleasure," he says. His madcap piece was displayed in the fair’s Curated section, which featured work by 31 exhibitors.
Silo Studio’s shelving unit is one highlight of Relay Design Agency's Arcade collection.

London’s Relay Design Agency, founded by Neil Walsh and Richard Healy, commissioned the eclectic Arcade collection of one-off and limited-edition products, which includes Silo Studio’s shelving unit. Arcade is also the name of a platform that commissions designers to experiment with techniques they aren’t familiar with, the one provision being that the pieces they create be functional. Studio Silo’s shelving unit is made of anodized aluminum. A flame was passed over its anodized finish, stripping some but not all of it off. The resulting effect is subtle, with earthier shades replacing the brashly synthetic look of anodized aluminum.
