ROSS LOVEGROVE (Wales, 1958) for ARTEMIDE. Table lamp "Aqua Cil tavolo", 2007. Die-cast aluminum base and structure. Steel shaft. Diffuser in hydroformed and mirror-treated aluminum. Measurements: 40 x 30 x 30 cm. The "Aqua Cil" series is distinguished by its wavy lampshade simulating the swaying of water, which contrasts with the sobriety of the die-cast aluminum shaft. It reflects the light to the outside in a wide but soft way. This series was presented at Euroluce 2007 in Milan. The designer Ross Lovegrove studied industrial design at Manchester Polytechnic, and later took a master's degree in design at the Royal College of Art in London, completing his training in 1983. From then on he worked for Frog Design in Germany, on products such as Walkmans for Sony, computers for Apple, etc. He then moved to Paris to work for Knoll International, where he was the author of the successful Alessandri office system. Later he was invited to participate in the Atelier de Nimes with Jean Nouvel and Philippe Stark, advising, among others, Cacharel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Dupont. He returned to London in 1986, and completed projects for Airbus Industries, Kartell, Ceccotti, Cappellini, Idee, Moroso, Luceplan, Dirade, Peugeot, Apple, Issey Miyake, Vitra, Alias, Tag Heuer and others, as well as for Japan Airlines and Tokyo Ito Architects in Japan. Throughout his career, Ross Lovegrove has won major international awards, and his work has been widely published, and exhibited in such prominent venues as MoMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Axis Center in Japan, the Pompidou in Paris or the Design Museum in London, where since 1993 he has had his first permanent collection.

CHARLES EAMES (USA, 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (USA, 1912 - 1988) for VITRA Editor. Hang it all" coat rack. Lacquered steel and wood. Measurements: 50 x 37 x 17 cm. Vitra editor itself defines its coat rack as "a cheerful alternative to traditional coat racks (and not only for the children's bedroom)". The combination of shapes and colors encourages children to hang all their things, literally. Thanks to the even distance between the balls, several hangers can be mounted together for more space. Charles and Ray Eames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, and then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. There he would end up teaching, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Award, given by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married fellow Cranbrook artist Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they would remain for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House," now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
