David Horan Paper daybed for Béton Brut, UK, 2022
By David Horan
Located in London, GB
David Horan (born in Dublin, 1982) is a multidisciplinary designer and manufacturer based in London. With a Master of Arts in Design Products from the Royal College of Art 2013, he cut his cloth with London-designers Faye Toogood and Michael Anastassiades, before opening his own studio in 2021.
This handmade daybed is part of the inaugural furniture and lighting collection by Horan entitled Paper. The collection ‘Paper’, designed exclusively with Béton Brut gallery, sees Horan as a modern decoupeur, applying his material to an original series of works. The magic of paper is grounded in forms as precise as they are architectonic. Evoking Deco and Classical, the geometries contain harmony in ratio.
‘Paper’ is as much an experiment in de-composition as re-composition, the Dragon Skin daybed, left raw, is made from vintage handmade paper...

Vondom Outdoor Vela Round Canopy Design by Ramon Esteve
By Ramón Esteve, Vondom
Located in Boston, MA
Vela round canopy is a modulate system with an elementary prismatic geometry that bases its singularity in the balance of its proportions. The elements can combine among themselves to integrate into any space. Their precise volumes create the illusion of hovering some centimeters off the floor, and when they are illuminated they are transformed into floating architectures.
Wheels assembly on the bottom to allow 360 degrees rotation.
Adjustable curtains and adjustable daybed back.
Daybed and canopy frame: White lacquered
Parasol roof: White sunvision fabric
Curtain: White
Dimension: Ø 85.8'' x H 79.5''
