The table is perched upon a curved base that flares out very slightly as it goes down, providing stability and solidity while adding a touch of the unexpected. The conical base is available in two versions — one round and one oval — to seamlessly integrate into existing spaces.
The designer’s architectural background is evident in Mateo’s structure. An internal frame is integrated by way of a lacquered metal rod that cannot be seen from the outside, reinforcing the meeting between base and top for complete stability.

In mid August 2021 we celebrated the launch of our new Molteni & C | Dada boutique in our Parnell gallery.
]]>It's the first boutique in New Zealand for world renowned Italian design brand Molteni & C | Dada and we are delighted to be showcasing 200sqm of luxury lounge dining and bedroom furniture along with their collection of exquisite rugs, kitchens and wardrobes.
An elegant profile, sleek lines and a fine balance between technical perfection and beautiful design sum up the new Lagoon Seventy 8 motor yacht and the description works just as well for the Tribù outdoor furniture chosen to give the decks and salon a look of warm sophistication.
Tribù’s Tosca collection, as luxurious as it is comfortable, adds an intriguing visual twist to the subtle coffee-and-cream design scheme. Just as every element on the yacht is worked out to the last detail, so each piece of furniture has to earn its place by being functional, durable and a pleasure to look at.
Lagoon sought some of the great names in naval design to create its stunning new flagship catamaran: the young French team at VPLP, Frenchman Patrick le Quément and Milan-based Nauta Design. Their ingenious concept allows for chic living areas that open onto wide spaces for sunbathing, relaxing and entertaining.
The Tosca collection works beautifully both inside and out, with a Tosca Dining Table and Armchairs in the main salon, opening onto a covered deck with more Tosca Armchairs. The oversized weave of the Tosca Sofa and Club Chairs, paired with Branch Low Tables, as well as the circular Daybed and deeply comfortable Lounger, are soft to the touch yet tough enough to withstand sea spray and salty breezes.
Tosca’s designer, Monica Armani, created the smoothly curved dining table using ceramic laminated glass, a specialised technique that leaves a unique, softly clouded surface pattern.
Nomad poufs create a relaxed seating area wherever they are placed and a teak lantern adds a gentle glow as the light fades on a scene of design harmony between Lagoon Seventy 8 and Tribù.
The Lychee Garden by Timothy Oulton Studio has been designed as an accommodation and hosting precinct for staff, designers and customers visiting and working at the Halo Group’s workshops in Southern China. Located in an existing orchard and vegetable garden, the project comprises of seven double storey villas, with a 60m2 private suite on each level. Known as the Roundhouses, these villas surround a central communal gathering space: The Dome Home. This prefabricated multi-use timber structure is designed to ship anywhere in the world in three containers, part of a concept conceived in 2011 the Dome Home is the original Halodome 12 prototype.
Echoing traditional Chinese gardens, visitors arrive at a cast concrete Moon Gate entrance. Bamboo trellised tunnels planted with trailing vines lead towards the Dome and further through the lush vegetable gardens along paved pathways to the individual Roundhouses. The curved plan of each building nestles amongst the mature trees ensuring very little disturbance of the existing orchard with only three removed during construction. These round houses use reclaimed local bricks and timbers for the exterior shells and combine local construction techniques and vernacular design elements with newer ideas and materials to create high quality retreats that are sensitive to their surroundings.
The central Halodome is the hub for all guests. Lined with reclaimed timbers and paved in natural sandstone the main space is furnished with circular Shabby sofas under the soaring domed structure, while under the mezzanine and spiral staircase another leather wrapped Shabby creates a comfortable den for chilling out and watching TV. A fully equipped domestic kitchen adjacent to a large marble dining table with a central carrousel is ideal for sharing family style meals. An outdoor covered terrace is designed for year round alfresco dining with a BBQ and fire pit allowing guests a fully immersive experience of the natural beauty of the gardens.
Simon Laws, Project Designer for the Lychee Garden, explains; “Often, the best ideas come during down times, when people – designers – congregate and just discuss things that are not necessarily related to design, that is what this company is trying to encourage”
Certified to German Passivhaus standard, Halodome uses sustainably sourced FSC & reclaimed timbers to create a soaring column free space that can be internally configured in many different ways. When combined with modern high performance and other recycled materials, Passive energy design principles that take careful consideration of sun control, ventilation and insulation, can create buildings with smaller ecological footprints and ongoing energy cost savings.
Continuing this theme, a reed bed sewerage system was installed to treat all onsite waste water, the final tertiary stage of the system uses a long shallow gravel bed densely planted with Ginger Lilies. The roots filter the water over the 7 days it takes to flow through the pond, at the end the water can be reused on the orchard.
