Exhibition Design for Russian Textile History by Form Bureau

Moscow-based Form Bureau designed the exhibition layout for History of Fashion: From Avant-Garde to Gost which took place inside the Grain Pavilion at VDNKh, a vast Soviet-era trade fair in Moscow, Russia. The exhibition, which showcased four decades of textile and fashion design in the Soviet Union (1920-1960) with original sketches, samples of fabrics, photographs, posters, costumes and fashion magazines, also saw a strong architectural approach that came into dialogue with the historical building hosting the show.

PK6 and PK7 Seating by Studio Paulo Kobylka

Referencing industrial structures and materials, the PK6 and PK7 armchair and sofa by Brazilian designer Paulo Kobylka exposes the metal frame of the furniture and allows it to dictate its form. The frames are then finished with car paint for extra resistance and durability.

Emotions of the Athletic Body at Armani/Silos

To celebrate 40 years of his brand’s achievements in the fashion industry, Giorgio Armani opened a 4,500-square-meter exhibition space on via Bergognone 40 in Milan, Italy. This private museum is called Armani/Silos and houses a fashion exhibition with items from the Armani archive as well as temporary thematic exhibitions. The first of the latter is a photography exhibition curated by Giorgio Armani himself which explores the form and symbolism of the athlete’s body.

Le Royer Collection by Larose Guyon

For its second collection, Larose Guyon presents a series of seven new designs that can be customised and arranged for any space. Named after a French-Canadian coureur of the Belle Epoque, the collection is a no-frills approach to interior lighting, where everything is simple and stripped down to its essence. Based in Verchères, on the outskirts of Montreal, Larose Guyon is the lighting design studio of Audrée L. Larose and Félix Guyon

Monoliths Ping-Pong Furniture by Laith McGregor and Murray Barker

For a solid session of ping-pong, head to Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) in Melbourne, where artist Laith McGregor and architect Murray Barker have installed these concrete ping-pong tables and benches. Part of a series of three different table designs, these neo-Brutalist beauties are decorated with copper inlays and their “nets” are made of bead-blasted steel. Rumours of a matching set of concrete balls and rackets are yet to be confirmed.

Dervish Lamp by booabbood for Squad

Like a speedy spinning top, these wooden lamps by Lebanese design studio boabboob were inspired by the ritual dance of Sema (also known as the whirling dance) which is performed by Sufi dancers. The four different designs are meant to represent the four stages of this ritual.

Spitfire Desk by Duffy London

Inspired by the legendary Supermarine Spitfire fighter plane, this brushed aluminium desk by Duffy London brings the ingenuity and fluid geometry of aircraft design indoors. Much loved by its pilots, the Spitfire was widely produced by Britain from the early 1930s to 1950, and is famous for its elliptical wings -an element that Duffy London’s desk subtly incorporates.
