 the Bulb side table (16 across and 14½ high). Both are constructed of lacquered aluminum

Laufen - Living Square

A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum-specifi cally the Laufen Forum,
 an exhibition and visitor center adjacent to the bath giant's headquarters in the
 Swiss town of Laufen. The epitome of architecture as brand statement, it's a basin 
that grew up to become a building. Nissen Wentzlaff Architekten partners 
Timothy Oliver Nissen and Daniel Wentzlaff intended the oval volume as 
a giant replica of the manufacturer's Palomba basin by Ludovica and Roberto
 Palomba.
This 21,000-square-foot, two-story "basin" of reinforced concrete doesn't 
contain water, of course. Just fixtures, fittings, and tiles that facilitate its use. 
Past the ground level's exhibit and event space, a skylit atrium, a spiral
 staircase ascends to a showroom offering Laufen's full range. Collections 
such as Il Bagno Alessi and Mimo are separated into perimeter bays, some of
 them featuring "test baths" that can be filled. Because the building's naturally
 insulating shell keeps inside temperatures comfortable-with little heat and no 
air-conditioning-taking a dip is a tempting proposition

Paola Lenti - Natural collection

Although the process mirrors the coiled construction of traditional rag rugs,
 the inspired spiral carpets of the Natural collection are nothing less than 
a high-tech take on tradition. This adventurous Italian manufacturer's in-house
 R&D team has spun a round rug using wool cording with a touch of polyamide.
 Versions with diameters of 78, 99, and 118 inches are offered in a
 selection of 10 signature Lenti colors

Property - Muffin

Paris-based designers Dan Yeffet and Lucie Koldova paired handblown glass and
 waxed oak to create the sweet shapes of Muffin. The series - which includes table,
 pendant, and floor versions - is manufactured in the Czech Republic. The lamps
 come in a sophisticated palatte of grays and browns that highlights the 60-watt 
filament bulb; there's sandblasted white "triplex" option. Available with a white, 
black or gray cable
