A frequently overlooked component of the standard hotel room, the minibar has an irresistible appeal that, until now, was based purely on its tempting contents rather its good looks – even when located in the most design-conscious of accommodation. Often seduced, but never truly satisfied, we figured it was high time to create an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture to display the pricey tipples and fancy nibbles. We approached the award-winning Copenhagen-based industrial designer Cecilie Manz, best known for her practical furniture designs and acute attention to detail. ‘My first reaction was that I never thought of designing a minibar.

See the finished exhibition piece on page 192 When we tasked Mark Albrecht to design a modern bar for the home, the seasoned US furniture designer, who has operated his eponymous design and fabrication studio since 1997, did not take it lightly. ‘The idea of a home bar was very appealing to me on a personal level. A lot of the ones on the market are a little bit cliched, so I couldn’t have asked for a better challenge,’ the New Yorker explains. ‘I looked online for images of standing bars from the 1950s and 1960s; sort of that Mad Men-style – coming home and having a drink classic. That’s what I grew up witnessing. Cocktails were a big part of socialising for my parents and my grandparents.’ From this…

The cap is attached with a leather tab, and the whole clips into a standard bike bottle clasp: shown here on a chrome frame by Paris bespoke bike maker Heritage (heritage-paris.com).

Inspired by the transformative qualities of light, New York lighting specialist Rich Brilliant Willing has created a series of sculptural dividers to help set the right mood on any table. The pieces, which are made from perforated, powder-coated metal panels in honey-toned hues, can be shaped around a candle, or other source, so that light playfully peeks through. Subtle folds ensure each sculpture can stand on its own.

Taking its cue from the classic Dutch oven and open-flame camping stove, Garth Roberts’ seemingly rudimentary food warmer design is transformed by the use of noble materials – hammered copper and marble – beautifully crafted by some of Segno Italiano’s network of Italian artisans.

See the finished exhibition piece on page 191 See sketches in the Wallpaper* Handmade Sketchbook, page 099 We knew they would be busy putting the finishing touches to their interiors for the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel (see W*196), but we had to ask: would Roman and Williams, the creative duo behind the wave of industrial-edged interiors that have taken over the world and the holders of a prestigious 2014 Cooper-Hewitt Museum Design Award, be so kind as to contribute to our Handmade project? They said they would. Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer, who set up Roman and Williams (the studio is named after their grandfathers) in 2002, found inspiration for their contribution, a credenza, in the design principles of the American Arts and Crafts movement. We paired them with Olollo,…

Taking cues from an art deco jewellery box, Jane Mayle has designed a brass-handled tea caddy with solid brass feet to house a teapot, and a grooved brass placemat with a mirrored finish. The accompanying cosy, crafted from beetled linen, is decorated with eyelets, inlaid with steel and brass in an array of enamelled and pearl finishes. The collection is made from linen, textured polyurethane, woven jacquard, and scuba fabrics by Designtex. Jane Mayle British-born fashion designer Jane Mayle has been a much-admired fixture on the New York fashion scene since establishing her eponymous clothing label in 1998.

Since closing the brand and her Nolita boutique in 2009, Mayle has put her creative efforts into fashion consultancy…

See Sketches in the wallpaper* Handmade Sketchbook, page 099 One would imagine catching and curing a pig requires agility, determination, sturdy footwear and an inevitable abundance of salt. Mercifully, harnessing the expertise of Milanese designer Piero Lissoni and Italian kitchenware specialist Knindustrie to create a prosciutto carving set was a much less arduous task. Lissoni, with a lifetime’s worth of innovative designs, spanning architecture, interiors, industrial design and graphics, was the perfectly accomplished foil for Francesco Zani’s comparatively fledgling team at Knindustrie. The brand is just four years old, but having already worked with Rodolfo Dordoni and met with the approval of design aficionados, it is an operation in the ascendancy. Together they created this all-important ham carving set, ensuring their nation’s beloved prosciutto crudo was handled with the requisite…

People are keen to label Cora Sheibani as an artist. She studied art in Florence and New York; her art-dealer father was Ettore Sottsass’ gallerist, and her pieces are often exhibited in galleries. But it’s a label she refutes. ‘I am a jewellery designer. Simple as that,’ she says. The London-based Swiss designer’s gently discordant approach to precious metals and stones has always intrigued us. She may not be a worker of gold, but she’s a seriously good jewellery designer. Sheibani’s collections to date are graphically inspired and narrative driven. Lentils, copper dessert moulds, and ornate picture frames are just some of the themes around which she has based entire lines, but there’s a sculptural counterplay in their realisation: light forms come in subverted shapes with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility. We…

See Sketches in the wallpaper* Handmade Sketchbook, page 099 Designing a bar is a fine way to explore new functions, forms and design interactions. It is also, some of us would argue, for altogether less noble reasons, one of the most important projects of our annual Handmade exhibition in Milan. And this year, our devotion to all things entertaining meant that the bar would be thrust centre stage like never before. We entrusted the creation of this key component to London architects Studio Mackereth and Derbyshire carpenters Jack Badger, who, in partnership with Scotland’s Royal Salute whisky, delivered a powerful centrepiece. Their ‘Neolithic’ bar is a circular design made using hundreds of chunks of 8,000-year-old oak, painstakingly hand-cut from an ancient tree trunk recovered from deep within a muddy riverbed…

Available at WallpaperSTORE* See page 147 Intrigued by the opaqueness of the Royal Salute 21 Year Old whisky bottle – it is solid porcelain – we asked British designer Afroditi Krassa to reimagine it. Chivas Brothers, creator of Royal Salute whisky, suggested Krassa visit Fürstenberg Porzellan. There, she was struck by the ancient technique of crystal glazing, which sees crystals added to the porcelain glaze to create unpredictable patterns on the finished product. ‘It’s like fireworks exploding,’ explains Krassa. And so the Royal Salute ‘Dram and Mór’ whisky flasks were devised. WHISKY FLASKS Afroditi Krassa Having set up her studio in London in 2003, this interior and product designer has collaborated with Bonaldo, Cassina and Ligne Roset, and designed Heston Blumenthal’s The Perfectionists’ Café at London’s Heathrow. afroditi.com Royal Salute…

It was inevitable, given the scale and ambition of Handmade, that we would eventually need a bigger boat. Or, rather, a more generous space to handle our flood of collaborative creativity and craftsmanship. This year, working with five friends, old and new, we took over an entire run of retired Milanese store fronts to create a new home for Handmade, the Wallpaper* Arcade. So a thank-you to Claudio Loria for his powers of persuasion, to Kvadrat, for its eye-popping, multi-coloured, textile colonnade, and to our temporary neighbours: Gufram with its prickly pop-up lounge; the d3 Dubai Design District; AfghanMade and its contemporary crafted carpets; and Emeco, a partner in one of our most spectacular Handmade projects. It worked a treat. Tour our exhibition, overleaf, and see pages 198 – 199…

Bozarthfornell Architects and Testi This monolithic bar in Testi’s Duke White marble, with three-legged stools carved in the same material, was a year in the making One year in the making, our nail bar originated in an inspired conversation with artist Lexi Shu and designer Sacha Leong. The idea was to make a nail-salon counter inspired by a bar, stripping it back to an essential design and introducing new material and aesthetics to the often under-designed beauty salon desk. Swedish architect Andreas Bozarth Fornell and his team took to the challenge, developing a monolithic bar in Duke White marble and traditional stools made of the same material carved by marble manufacturer Testi’s team. Bozarthfornell Architects Founded in 2010, Andreas Bozarth Fornell’s Stockholm architecture and design studio works with clients such…

BCXSY and H Stern In brass and glass, inspired by Brazilian modernism and the hues of precious stones, the set is complemented by H Stern’s specially created jewellery In brass and coloured glass, the collection comprises a vanity table, a jewellery box (not pictured) and a wall mirror with storage, designed by Amsterdam duo BCXSY with Rio de Janeiro jeweller H Stern. The simple forms – oval shapes encased in rectangular frames –are inspired in part by the volumes of Brazilian modernism, while the colours reference the jewellery world’s precious stones.

Peter Nencini and Amy Somerville The traditional table game is given an expressive new design with inlaid veneers and carefully considered linework We approached designer Peter Nencini to help us reinterpret the Eastern table contest carrom, thinking the game’s elemental qualities and graphic board would be the perfect medium for his unique method of developing quasi-typographic ‘glyphs’. We teamed Nencini with furniture designer Amy Somerville, and together they attempted to honour the traditional game while creating an expressive new design. The result is a beautifully executed carrom table, made with inlaid veneers and delicate linework.

Thomas Sandell and Hästens Hästens’ signature check is all over this design, from its artfully carved surface to the accompanying cushion A wholly Swedish project, this teams the iconic patterns of bed company Hastens with the minimalist magic of designer Thomas Sandell.

Adam Silverman and David Wiseman Twenty-first-century, Angeleno takes on the Fabergé egg, one glazed and encased in a web of brushed bronze, the other darker and inlaid with bronze On a flight to Miami last December, ceramic artist Adam Silverman had what he calls an ‘oxygen-deprived idea’. He was inspired to create a post-punk, post-industrial, 21stcentury take on the Faberge egg. Silverman approached David Wiseman to help bring the vision into reality. The pair have created two specimens: a primeval, whitish, glazed egg, intricately encased in a web of brushed bronze; and a darker, almost burnt-brown egg inlaid with bronze, so that it looks as if the metal is escaping out of it. Adam Silverman Originally trained as an architect, LA-based ceramicist Adam Silverman is renowned for using experimental techniques…

Robert Storey and Kalmar A sculptural brass structure holds a marble and opal glass orb, its light reflected by an angled mirror Set designer Robert Storey knows a thing or two about good lighting. Inspired by the likes of Donald Judd and Josef Albers, his work often combines bold shapes and modernist lines. These influences shine through in this stunning floor light created in collaboration with Kalmar. It consists of a sculptural brass structure holding a precious Calacatta marble and opal glass sphere. Standing in front of the luminous ball is a mirrored glass panel reflecting a magical glow.
