Our curated selection for Kissthedesign gallery

For its winter exhibition, the gallery kissthedesign has chosen to warm up the atmosphere with beautiful lamps, mirrors and golden surfaces. Under the theme Light & Reflection many designer pieces and contemporary artworks have been carefully chosen with the aim to dress the refined, yet creative homes.

OUR CURATED SELECTION

Among the elegant mid-century furniture and the creations of Swiss artists that will be showcased, our curated selection presents inspiring design publications and minimalist home accessories created by emerging Swiss designers. The sleek design and clean lines of these pieces contrast with the noble materials they are made of and thus, add an understated luxury feel to the interior.

Made of white Parthenon marble and one-way mirrors, the See Right Through Me Mirror by Isabell Gatzen plays with light and reflection and enables the viewer to see through it. The 3 pieces combine with each other in order to add an eye-catching dynamic to any room.

The Charles coat hooks by Nikolas Kerl subtly associate unfinished ash wood and polished marble. While the two materials complete each other perfectly, this combination reveals the striking colour of the stone, may it be black, white or green marble.

For the occasion, a special selection of design publications has been made in collaboration with Celine Debray, founder of Sérendipité.ch. From Swiss design to Nordic brands, these books and magazines offers a panorama of the modern design and interior culture.
