From $615 AUD

BONDAGE PENDANT
Cheekily named, this pendant light by Lucie Koldova lives up to its reputation with an innovative use of leather. The transparent glass shade, embraced by colourful leather strapping creates a playful juxtaposition of materials.

IN VEIN TABLE
Belgian designer Ben Storms trestle table is an impressive and functional chameleon. Trestle table by day, mirror by night, the table can be turned around into a full-length mirror when leaned against a surface. Using soft grey veined Belgian Gris de Ardennes marble, polished stainless steel mirror, steel legs and leather straps, Storms impressively challenges the traditional notions of form, technique and materials with this piece.
