Salone Highlights
Below are some highlights of Twentieth represented designers chosen from this year’s Salone del Mobile. As you can see, the press was quite taken by the work...we hope you are too. -- Stefan
Lee Broom
Time Machine
"Within an abandoned vaulted storage room next to the historic Milano Centrale station, a white carousel spun—the only object in a raw, unfinished space. On that carousel, visitors found reimaginings of furniture, objects and lighting drawn from ten years worth of English designer Lee Broom's collections.
Together, the collection captures the magnificence of Broom's work, as both a catalog of well-executed ideas and as a conceptual exhibition unto itself."
- Cool Hunting
Lambert et Fils
Laurent 11/Mile
"Mile is a technical lamp characterized by an asymmetrical luminaire. Created in direct collaboration between the company's founder and the Canadian designer Guillaume Sasseville, Mile is a highly-featured design lamp, in which the use of linear LEDs and embedded cables in the structure accentuates the 'absence of gravity' almost creating the illusion of levitation."

Gabriel Scott
Briolette/Myriad
Established & Sons
Established & Sons collection is revitalized with Sebastian Wrong at the helm.
"The utilitarian feel of the furniture that we have made is somewhat at odds with the cartoon graphic surface that covers it, and I feel this marriage illustrates perfectly the success of the collaborative process."
- Richard Woods for Archi Expo
Bocci
87 Series
"What happens when soda water combines with an extremely hot glass matrix? Meet Bocci's 87 LED light, which loops and folds back onto itself, for unexpected arrangement with no boundaries."

Fernando Mastrangelo
ESCAPE Series Drum/Coffee Table
"Best of the Milan Design Furniture Fair 2017 list." - Sight Unseen
Tom Dixon
Cluster/Top Pendant Light
"Futuristic and faceted, Cut is an exercise in optics. Its space-age mirror finish when off transforms to reveal a translucent kaleidoscopic gem when switched on. Hypnotising reflections of the luminous orb within repeat infinitely within the diamond cut, vacuum metallised interior."
- De De Ce Blog
Christopher Boots
Sugar Bomb Wall Sconces/Pythagoras Wall Sconce
Moooi
A Life Extraordinary Exhibition /Luna Piena
"Also included in the series is Wanders' Luna Piena, which features polycarbonate discs engraved with a constellation of crystal flakes."

Roll & Hill
Kazimir Pendant
"Striated, ribbed glasswork casting complex compositions of shadow, light and color played a big role at Euroluce, the biannual lighting-focused exhibition presented under the Salone umbrella. New York City-based showroom Roll & Hill exhibited a new rectangular Kazimir pendant, a layered, dichroic piece designed by Ladies & Gentlemen Studio and named after the Constructivist artist Kazimir Malevich."
