If the market’s latest debuts have any lesson to tell, it’s that the design community indeed works better together. From Armando Cabral’s Cubist takes for USM to Augusta Hoffman’s earthen-hued natural fibers for Wovn Home and Studio DB’s galactic take for Calico Wallpaper, industry brands across categories are coming together to bring thoughtful new offerings to designers’ tool kits. Looking for the latest in furniture, decor, lighting, and beyond? Meet the industry’s latest dynamic duos.
Edgar Jayet x Maison Delisle
One of the head-turning designs unveiled at Maison & Objet last month was Edgar Jayet’s Bouillotte lighting range for heritage bronze and ironwork maker La Maison Delisle. For this contemporary reimagining of the bouillotte lamp, a decorative arts icon that illuminated 18th-century card games of the same name, Paris- and Venice-based Jayet first pored over thousands of drawings in the maison’s archives before conceptualizing a refined, indirectly lit version stripped of all ornament. Flaunting shades that move up and down, the chandeliers, sconces, pendants, candelabras, and floor and table lamps meld classic hand-spun brass and cast-bronze elements with CNC milling and laser engraving.
Armando Cabral x USM
Inside Armando Cabral’s eponymous New York shop at Rockefeller Center, luxe footwear mingles with the likes of Australian merino throw pillows and blankets, part of the model turned designer’s new African-inspired Armando Cabral a Casa home goods capsule. Further illuminating this rich heritage is Nkyinkyim, Cabral’s range of bespoke designs for USM—the Swiss brand’s modular furniture also decorates his store—that nod to the traditional adinkra symbols embraced on pottery and textiles from Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. An expansive valet wardrobe stand, side table, and lounge chair set round out the collection’s centerpiece bookshelf and asymmetrical platform bed, all on display at USM’s flagship New York showroom in SoHo through May 1.
Augusta Hoffman x Wovn Home
Time after time, Augusta Hoffman has sought out Wovn Home window treatments to dress her clients’ elegant residential interiors. Now the New York–based AD PRO Directory designer has dreamed up textiles for the drapery workroom herself in such muted hues as dune, acorn, porcelain, and moss, a grounding palette that defines Hoffman’s quietly timeless aesthetic. The tactile sheer wool blends and Belgian linens can be beautifully transformed into romantic Euro pleat curtains and flat Roman shades, as shown in her ethereal Manhattan studio.
Heidi Caillier x Joon Loloi
Heidi Caillier’s passions for warm neutrals, botanicals, and vintage Scandinavian finds are reflected in the Seattle-based AD100 designer’s inaugural rug collection for Joon Loloi, the furnishings spinoff from Loloi rugs. Take the graphic, grid-like Lindy, bucolic pink and green Lilette, or geometric-print Ash, which exhibits an alluring antique-like sheen. Along with the 22 rugs, the prolific Caillier conceived 20 complementary throw pillows, including the fringed Dana redolent of needlepoint.

Studio DB x Calico Wallpaper
Supernova, Studio DB’s meditation on the cosmos for Calico Wallpaper, puts the enigmatic midnight sky front and center. To bring these constellations of shimmering celestial bodies to life, the New York–based AD PRO Directory architecture and interiors firm pulled from historic astronomical imagery, vintage jewelry, and embroidery and beading details. The fantastical wall coverings, based on original artworks, depict stars and distant galaxies in eight different colorways, including iridescent Pearl, deep blue Infinity, and inky Portal.
Campbell-Rey x The Lacquer Company
Duncan Campbell and Charlotte Rey, founders of London studio Campbell-Rey, have a flair for moody, glamorous spaces, a sensibility exemplified in the duo’s 10-piece furniture and accessories collection for The Lacquer Company. The faceted serving trays, sleek wastepaper bins, slim consoles, and array of coffee, side, drinks, and bedside tables—such as the clever, one-drawer floating Olympe—draw from the oeuvres of Eileen Gray and Jean Dunand. Their Art Deco silhouettes are bolstered by hand-painted tortoiseshell and glossy, bold, two-toned colorways.
Huanxi Studio x Rosie Li Studio
Rosie Li and her team were so entranced by the hand-thrown pottery that Yang Xingwang turned out of Huanxi Studio in Jingdezhen—China’s porcelain capital—that the Brooklyn-based lighting practice hatched Pilar x Huanxi. The sculptural Constantin Brancusi–reminiscent creations, which nod to Xingwang’s reverence for ancient techniques and Chinese landscape paintings, comprise a striking linear chandelier, cylindrical sconces, and pendants that take the forms of round cups, cones, and lanterns. Crafted from porcelain in soothing shades of fern and soft blue celadon or red bronze and earthy pink terra ceramics, they are embellished with brushed brass and oil-rubbed bronze.
Tatiana de Nicolay x Jaipur Rugs
Stunning gardens from around the globe—including those at the Albert Kahn Museum, not too far from her Paris abode—are the impetus behind Jardins du Monde, designer and illustrator Tatiana de Nicolay’s transporting ensemble of Indian-made carpets for Jaipur Rugs. Available exclusively through The Invisible Collection, the seven hand-knotted styles, complete with romantic tassels and trellis borders, are emblazoned with tranquil florals, or in the case of the Country Gathering, stripes that call to mind alfresco fêtes unfolding in draped tents. Meandering vines cover the octagonal Mysterious Labyrinth, while the Tea Pavilion evokes Japan with its entwining palm leaves and architectural motifs.
