What’s New In Design
We take a look at what’s new in design, from Jordan Fleming’s collection with New Volumes to the 20th anniversary of a beloved Patricia Urquiola sofa.
Radiofonografo 60
Elena Salmistraro for Brionvega
Brionvega’s Radiofonografo 60 revisits an icon of Italian industrial design, honouring the original 1965 creation by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni while reinterpreting it for a modern context. Limited to just 60 pieces, the anniversary edition retains the sculptural modularity, tactile controls and expressive geometry that defined the original. Designer Elena Salmistraro has introduced a nuanced green tone that softens the piece’s appearance without diluting its character. The result is an audio sculpture that celebrates craftsmanship and the emotional resonance of analogue listening.

Tufty-Time 20
Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia
B&B Italia’s Tufty-Time 20 refreshes Patricia Urquiola’s beloved 2005 design with a gentler, more contemporary feel. The new iteration introduces softly curved modules, deeper padding and a slightly taller seat, creating more fluid, conversational arrangements suited to both residential and commercial environments. Its bouclé-effect wool chenille upholstery brings added warmth and tactility, while its ability to be fully disassembled underscores a commitment to circularity. Tufty-Time 20 balances comfort, craft and longevity, reaffirming the sofa’s enduring status as a modern classic.

Élan mirrors and console
Jordan Fleming for New Volumes by Artedomus
New Volumes by Artedomus presents the Élan console and mirrors by Australian designer Jordan Fleming. Defined by barely there curves and subtle asymmetry, the terracotta pieces evoke movement held in stillness. Handcrafted by Tuscan artisans, each piece carries unique textures shaped through moulding, slow drying and firing. The sculptural console features an open portal, while the mirrors are available in Midi and Mini sizes. Élan marks Fleming’s (Emerging) Designer Award-winning collaboration with New Volumes, and highlights her sensitive, tactile approach to form and function.

Stacking floor lamp
Rockwell Group for Leucos
Born from a collaboration between Rockwell Group and Italian lighting house Leucos, these lamps come in three different sets and fuse cutting-edge lighting technology with age-old Venetian glassmaking. Made using the incamiciato layering technique, each handblown cylinder displays shifting hues and opacities that come alive when stacked, casting an atmospheric glow in any space. The totem-like lamps are a celebration of craftsmanship and sculptural lighting with their elegantly customisable arrangements, making them stand-out expressions of contemporary glass artistry
