This year’s theme for Hermès Bond Street store window, Nature at Full Gallop, was embraced by artist Alexandra Kehayoglou, who’s rugs ’immortalise slices of land’. Photography: Sean Lemoine Writer: Vanessa Bell The studio’s output has us buzzing with anticipation. There, it also unveiled its new ’Bee’ collection, a range of side tables fashioned from tiered hexagonal platforms, in either steel and polished brass or white Carrara and black Marquina marble, which are redolent of the tessellating characteristics of a beehive.

It instantly catapulted the studio into the international arena, including an invitation to exhibit at Sight Unseen’s Offsite show at NYCxDesign. The studio’s debut collection ’Alpina’ (pictured) consists of a table, a chair, a desk and a shelf, and is characterised by slender, geometric lines and lightweight forms. The studio was founded in 2015 by Marcos Altgelt, Segundo Denegri and Tasio Picollo, who initially starting working together on furniture prototypes at their modest garage workshop in Buenos Aires while holding down day jobs at design studio La Feliz.

With recent trips including a sojourn in Iceland and a journey into the Navajo Nation, UNCMMN’s 2017 collection promises to be one well worth waiting for. In their first collection (pictured), produced by local artisans in Yixing, pieces include a teapot with a delicate spout and angular handles that recall the structure of bamboo branches, while a set of rounded storage containers reference Yixing’s river rocks. Zou and Ding, who grew up in LA and Shanghai respectively, plan to launch one new collection annually based on a different location in the world and an uncommon material found there. Fascinated by the discovery that, after a certain amount of use, traditional Yixing clay teapots become so seasoned that tea can be brewed just by pouring boiling water into an empty pot, new LA-based brand UNCMMN, founded by Funi Ding and Stacy Zou, set about creating a series of modern tableware using the highly porous clay that is particular to this region in China.
