TOP 5: Pastel bliss – the most inspiring new products of the month
The Rakastaa ei rakasta duvet cover is made from breathable cotton crepe fabric.
Bloom into summer
Marimekko’s Rakastaa ei rakasta duvet cover brings Maija Isola’s cheerful daisies into full bloom – Finnish for “loves me, loves me not”, the name is a nod to the classic game of plucking daisy petals to uncover matters of the heart. Designed back in 1972, the joyful pattern instantly transports you to carefree, sun-drenched summer days. Complete the look with matching pillowcases from the same series – and spend the entire spring lounging in your own personal meadow.
The glossy aluminium Mellow wall clock blurs the line between everyday object and artwork.
Carpe diem
There are days when keeping track of time isn’t the priority. On those leisurely days, the Mellow clock is the perfect companion. Designed by Joe Parr for Design House Stockholm, this abstract wall clock is less about precision and more about interpreting time as a feeling.
Gone are the numbers, the second hand, even the traditional clock face – leaving behind only two sculptural, voluminous hands and a softly swinging pendulum. Together, they invite you to experience time as a flowing, personal journey rather than a ticking countdown.
The new 7:14 Colour Edition of Fritz Hansen’s Series 7 chair is inspired by the soft northern light of early autumn mornings.
Hues of dawn
The Series 7 3107 chair – also known as the Seven – is one of Danish designer Arne Jacobsen’s most iconic works and among Fritz Hansen’s best-selling classics. Now, to celebrate the chair’s 70th anniversary, it’s been dressed in a fresh palette of new colors.
The 7:14 Colour Edition draws its inspiration from Denmark’s early autumn mornings – that precise moment at 7:14 AM when the northern light is at its softest and most poetic. These five special edition colors will be available through the end of 2025.

The Teresa table lamp diffuses a soft, inviting light, perfect for a living room side table or a bedside glow.
Warm and welcoming
The Teresa table lamp by the Italian brand Kartell charms with its gently unfolding forms, evoking petals opening to the sun – or perhaps the delicate gills of a mushroom. Designed by Ferruccio Laviani, the lamp’s glossy finish hints at both nature's beauty and the sleek traditions of industrial design and technical experimentation.
