URCHINA by Moooi & Studio Roderick Vos

Mimicking nature’s rhythm from the inside out, Urchina Light by Studio Roderick Vos feels less like an object and more like a living presence suspended in air. Inspired by the symmetry of sea urchins, Studio Roderick Vos translated an underwater anatomy into a floating constellation of light with slender carbon rods reaching outward, glowing gently at their tips. This creates a weightless silhouette that feels expressive by day and atmospheric by night.

Basten Leijh X Ahrend X BYBORRE
full press release https://designspotter.com/newswire/basten-leijh-x-ahrend-x-byborre/

Ahrend X BYBORRE is a new collaboration in which Dutch nature, textile innovation, and spatial design come together. For the Ahrend Cerene, BYBORRE collaborated with Viktor Hachmang to develop a new knitted textile application inspired by the Dutch landscape.

Office pod as a canvas for brand identity and design freedom
This transforms the Ahrend Cerene into more than just a functional focus space: the large textile surface turns the office pod into a canvas for design, atmosphere, and identity. The office pod can blend subtly into an interior or, conversely, stand out as a bold spatial element. In this way, the Ahrend Cerene offers designers, architects, and organizations greater freedom to organize open workspaces according to user needs and brand identity.

Greater freedom to shape open workspaces
This collaboration responds to a broader trend in office design: workspaces need to become more flexible, more personalized, and more appealing. Focus spaces like the Ahrend Cerene bring a sense of calm to open work environments, while BYBORRE’s customizable textiles add a new layer of design expression.

A town in Quebec, Canada - Terrasse-Vaudreuil - just officially recognised trees as living beings with the right to exist. 🙌

But, long before any law was passed, Indigenous Peoples and local communities have been protecting trees, defending them as living beings for thousands of years.

To every forest defender who has stood guard without the backing of a law: thank you! We see you and we are grateful for you. 💚

Now it's our turn to stand with you.

Sign the petition to defend the defenders putting their lives on the line for the forests we all depend on. 👇

DATSU DINING TABLE OVAL | available in solid wood © Piet Albert Goethals

The DATSU dining table translates the quiet logic of natural growth into a bold, sculptural form, where an oval top appears to rest effortless upon a central base of swelling, organic volume. Crafted in solid wood, it balances digital precision with the warmth of traditional craftsmanship, bringing a surreal yet grounded presence to the interior. A contemporary monument shaped by nature’s gentle force.

Morchella: Otherworldly design made by growth
- press release https://designspotter.com/newswire/morchella-otherworldly-design-made-by-growth/
In a time when form is often simplified and ease of manufacturing dictates shape, Vito Boox’s work stands apart, offering an alternative perspective on what design can mean today. With Aifunghi, he developed the groundbreaking light object Morchella.

MORCHELLA is a sculptural chandelier, defined by a truly original form and visual language blending organic inspiration with the tactile qualities of Mycelium-Based Composite. Its fluid form and warm light create a luxurious and sustainable statement. Its presence invites interpretation, sparking personal connections that range from echoes of the natural world to traces of ancient cultures, or even something quietly otherworldly. Subtle hints of Art Nouveau elegance weave through its design, recalling an era where decoration and artistry were inseparable.

Available in shroom (natural patinated) and ivory (pristine version finished with mineral coating). Beyond its striking appearance, Morchella is fully functional, casting a warm, ambient glow that enriches the atmosphere of any space. It balances expressive design with purpose, transforming interiors through bold light and form.
