Japanese for “daybreak”, Ariake (sold here at Grafunkt) is a furniture line founded last year by two Japanese manufacturers, Legnatec and Hirata Chair, with award-winning Singapore designer Gabriel Tan as creative director. Its 30-piece presentation at Stockholm Design Week this February saw Tan teaming up with seven designers hailing from Scandinavia, Japan, Canada and Brazil. Their inspiration: “the spirituality of Japanese culture and urban living”.

Well-loved for its unpredictable, highly artisanal spin on everyday items, Homegrown lifestyle store Supermama debuts a more practical yet no less design-driven range of homeware. Named Kobo (Japanese for a maker’s workshop or factory) and available at Supermama’s new Wheelock Place boutique, its first drop is a collaboration between four local designers and 10 Japanese specialist manufacturers. Prices start from $24 for a bottle opener.

Atelier Swarovski debuted its homeware line in 2016 in partnership with globally renowned artists and designers. Collaborators have included the likes of the late Zaha Hadid, Patricia Urquiola, Nendo, and John Pawson (his stripped-down yet romantic aesthetic channelled into the likes of this vase). What’s extra special this year, though, is the debut of Core, a line with items such as stationery, trays and candle holders ($80-$6,500) that’s designed entirely in-house.

Chairs and other assorted furniture woven by Colombian artisans have always been Marni’s speciality at Salone del Mobile. At this year’s edition though, the Italian fashion label introduced new techniques and materials. For instance, traditional baskets handcrafted from a centuries-old technique of weaving willow stems and branches now sport filaments of coloured plastic; this reflects the brand’s penchant for colours (and, if you ask us, fun). No word at press time on when they’ll be sold widely, but keep your ears up.

Under the craft-loving J.W. Anderson’s auspices, Spanish luxury house Loewe forayed into the world of interiors via Salone del Mobile in 2015. This year, it showcases its largest and most diverse homeware collection yet: 50 items, including large-scale tapestries and blankets (get them via special order), and a complementary range of totes and small leather goods (these hit stores here from October). Focusing this time on textile craft, and in an eclectic mix of motifs, the brand has tapped on techniques and craftsmen from Japan, India, Senegal and Ecuador, and criss-crossed them with the work of the ateliers it employs in Europe.

Fact: Versace was one of the early adopters of the “lifestyle empire” approach with its Home line, established in 1992. This year, the Italian label celebrates 25 years of collaboration with German porcelain specialist Rosenthal with a limited edition tableware collection, Rosenthal Meets Versace: 25 plates and tea cups that each feature a different design from the Versace archives.
