Cologne 2011: designer Philippe Nigro presented this series of interlocking pendant lights for Ligne Roset at imm cologne earlier this month. 

Called Stripes, the shades comprise a series of metal rings with gaps that allow two or more shades to overlap when hung in clusters.

A floor lamp with two interlocking shades is also available, and a series with interlocking flat panels that work in the same way, called Peignes.

Our limited-edition Jill Platner bracelet and video premiere event

Crafting gorgeously organic shapes in her SoHo, NYC studio for nearly two decades, designer Jill Platner uses old-school artisan techniques to make modern jewelry that looks as good as it feels to wear it. The Massachusetts native moved to NYC to study at Parsons, where she took up metal-smithing and began realizing her true passion.

An avid surfer, Jill integrates her passion for the outdoors into her designs and all of her work is sturdy enough to withstand an active lifestyle. Unexpected materials like strong Tenara thread, both UV ray- and salt water-resistant, make her jewelry at once rugged and comfortable to wear.

We’re excited to include several pieces by the talented designer in our pop up shop, and having been a fan for over a decade, I’m psyched to have collaborated with Jill for our CH Editions collection. Re-envisioning her signature rawhide bracelet, we worked together to introduce a dove grey leather to her trademark sterling silver toggle clasp for 12 extended-length versions.

The limited-edition bracelets sell from our online shop for $205, but be sure to attend our dedicated event at the Cool Hunting for Gap pop up tomorrow, Wednesday, 8 December 2010, to catch the premiere of our behind-the-scenes video of Jill Platner and her studio.

An interlinking metal cabinet system designed by Alessandro Zambelli, Stack debuted as part of Seletti‘s “Augmented Reality” exhibit at Superstudio during the recent Milan Design Week.

The Stack system offers three sizes as a base, and eight smaller stackable pieces, each with a different function. Inspired by old warehouses and retro metallic containers, the modular structure combines lockers, office drawers, lab cabinets and industrial closets for a cohesive collection of storage solutions. An unusual palette of subtle colors plays an important role in recalling an iconic past and familiar memories, while various shapes and styles mesh for an endless series of personal and unique combinations.

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur will present a series of metal storage units with quilted surfaces at Tools Galerie in Paris next week. (more…)
