Interior Design Must-Haves in August | Prestige Online

Prestige rounds up the best in interior design this month, from Sino-French anniversary pieces from Baccarat to modern comfort for your bed- and bathrooms.

Bleu China: ‘Printemps Bleu’ Zénith Chandelier

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Sino-French friendship, as well as its own 260th year, Baccarat – the prestigious French luxury house – has collaborated with renowned Hong Kong designer Steve Leung to present the ‘Printemps Bleu’ Zénith Chandelier. This unique chandelier, merging Asian sensibilities and French elegance, draws inspiration from Qinghua Ci (blue and white porcelain) and Baccarat’s own iconic Zénith chandelier. The finished piece features a harmonious blend of Limoges porcelain and Baccarat crystals, embodying the Chinese yin-yang philosophy. Limited to 60 pieces, ‘Printemps Bleu’ symbolises the harmonious blend of Eastern and Western artistry that will make for a stunning statement piece in cultured homes.

Milanese Excellence: Fornasetti Polyhedric Curved Bar Cabinet

Debuting at Milan Design Week 2024, the Fornasetti Polyhedric Curved Bar Cabinet is a showstopper not to be missed by collectors with a soft spot for quirky pieces. It features designs inspired by Piero Fornasetti’s 1950s project for the Dulciora Pastry Shop in Milan. The two-dimensional imagery of vases, goblets, and bottles adorning the exteriors of the cabinet impart the furniture piece with an artistic and whimsical persona. Inside, the cabinet is equipped with lighting, compartments for glassware, and wooden shelves with stylish brass rails. It’s the one-of-a-kind conversation piece you’ve been looking for, for your home bar, and you can find it today at Seasons Ekkamai.

Sound Sleep: Frostburg Mattress

Featuring eight layers of quality materials – all from England – Dunlopillo’s marvelous Frostburg mattress promises deeper and longer sleeps than ever before. Natural latex and the latest foam innovations relieve pressure points and offer enhanced comfort, while various health-protective technology is incorporated into the mattress, such as Aerotec ventilation and the Snowtemp fabric (which helps sleepers regulate body temperature to maintain nightly hygiene). Through the combination of Freedom Coil 6000 pocket springs and Ultra Soft foam, the Frostburg mattress distributes weight perfectly and reduces the sensation of a sleeping partner’s movements, helping both you and your loved one sleep more soundly throughout the night. Find the Frostburg at any branch of Dunlopillo Bed Club or Mattress City, or at major department stores nationwide.

Sleek and Chic: Finion Bathroom Collection

From German ceramics expert Villeroy & Boch comes the Finion bathroom collection designed by Patrick Frey. Offering a wide range of luxurious necessities, including bathtub, wash basin and toilet, as well as lighting and smart technology, the collection has received accolades from prestigious organisations (including an iF Design Award and a Red Dot Design Award). Some of the highlights of the Finion collection are the harmonic freestanding Quaryl bath, which features lighting at the base for a “floating” effect, and the modern wall-hung toilet, which is aesthetically pleasing and housekeeping friendly. Ceramic pieces are made with premium TitaCeram, and the collection can be viewed at the Crystal Design Centre.

Lounge Master: Florius Sofa System

The latest living room masterpiece by Maxalto is the Florius sofa system, a demonstration of the Italian furniture maker’s expertise in construction and upholstery. Characterised by a low, minimalist frame and generous number of cushions, this customizable sofa beckons everyone who approaches it to sit. Meanwhile, the selection of modules available allows homeowners to create many different configurations, from linear to corner (with the number of armrests and the option for chaise lounge with ottoman also being a choice left up to the customer). The Florius comes in two distinct versions: one with the frame and the cushions entirely upholstered in fabric or leather, and the other with a wooden frame, to be combined with fabric or leather upholstery for the cushions.
