Garrett Leather: Caiman maharam.com Space 1188 Reader Service No. 221 garrettleather.com Space 8-6086 Reader Service No. 222 Maharam invited industrial designer Konstantin Grcic to explore nonwoven textiles based on his finesse with polymers. Culminating five years of intensive development is the debut of Drape and Rise, available in 10 colors each. Traditional embossing rollers were used to create both implied and real depth. Caiman leather hides are embossed with reptilian patterns in Italy. Available in both whole- and half-hide sizes, the leather comes in 26 stock colors. It features a light wax finish to make it moisture resistant. 3. Bernhardt Design: Mirador 4.

Perched atop polished aluminum legs, Mirador can be arranged in a variety of configurations or can stand alone as sofas, settees, or benches. Part of the Élan collection of lounge furniture, the Fold nesting side table was designed by Lauren Rottet and evokes visual movement through simple forms. The table pairs Rottet’s architectural elegance with the handcrafted nuance of the Élan brand. 54 4 The Merchandise Mart in Chicago will host North America’s largest annual design exposition and conference from June 10 to 12.
