Lalique and Damien Hirst release these eerie crystal skulls

IMMORTALISED IN CRYSTAL

Lalique has introduced 12 crystal works to its Eternal collection by British artist Damien Hirst. Expanding on the 2015 collaboration, the sculptures and crystal panels recall Hirst’s art on life and death. Among them is Eternal Sleep, a sculpture inspired from the diamond-encrusted human skull, For The Love Of God, which gained the artist notoriety. All works in the collection are limited edition and comes with artist certification. #04-05 Paragon.

“Design is about far more than aesthetics. Good design will improve quality of life, but great design can affect mood. It can literally transform the way people feel by elevating their mood and recharging their souls."

MADE FOR HOME

Designed with relaxation in mind, Italian furniture label Minotti’s latest Home Anthology collection sees a balance between contemporary and classic designs. The 2017 curation offers an indoor and outdoor range of sofas, tables and chairs –with similar designs but different upholstery (from leather to water-resistant fabrics) for each environment. Expect to see flexibility and a bold variety of shapes and structures that will fit right at home.
