Known for her globally influenced styling, her September invitation to Paris Design Week included a visit to MAISON&OBJET professional design trade fair. Here are her top-10 selections from MAISON&OBJET curated toward the hospitality industry. 1. Designed by Stephane Parmentier for Giobagnara, the Olympia side tables and seats mix hard and smooth materials such as travertine, suede, leather, and bronze lacquered wood. The shapes evoke both the futuristic architectural ensemble of Oscar Niemeyer's parliament of Brazil and the mild curves of oriental architecture. giobagnara.com 1 2. Like a warm embrace, Dooq's Malibu collection is an elevated homage to the golden age of midcentury design and organic architecture. The defining detail of the Malibu seating is the cinched piping which surrounds the chair like a belt around a skirt, accentuating its shape and providing a hint of sensuousness. The collection comprises an armchair, sofa, and pouf. dooqdetails.com 2 22 www.newh.orghttp://www.giobagnara.com http://www.dooqdetails.com http://www.newh.org
