String Furniture expands Pira with a new display cabinet

/

String Furniture expands Pira with a new display cabinet The Pira shelving system was originally designed by Swedish architect Olle Pira for the iconic H55-utställningen. In 2023, String Furniture introduced a contemporary interpretation created by architect Anna von Schewen and industrial designer Björn Dahlström. The updated Pira system combines elegance and durability, produced in modern materials for contemporary interiors. The system now evolves further with the introduction of a new display cabinet that enhances both its flexibility and visual expression. Designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing structure, the cabinet can be used whether the shelving system stands freely in a room or is mounted against a wall. With glass on both sides, the cabinet becomes a natural extension of the system and introduces new possibilities for storage and display. A defining characteristic of Pira is its ability to function as a freestanding element, acting as a room divider while maintaining transparency. The absence of a solid back allows visibility through the structure, and the glass cabinet reinforces this quality by making its contents visible from both sides. This addition marks another step in String Furniture’s long term commitment to developing Pira as a living system. By continuously introducing new functions, the project evolves alongside changing storage needs. With the display cabinet, Pira further establishes its role as a flexible and architectural shelving system where form, function, and material meet in a contemporary interpretation of Swedish design heritage.

Veja and Magliano reinterpret the Panenka

/

Veja and Magliano reinterpret the Panenka Veja teams up with Italian brand Magliano to present a new interpretation of the Panenka, inspired by vintage football boots. The unisex silhouette becomes a space for bold and unconventional tailoring, where sport and couture meet. Pushing the football aesthetic further, the Panenka features a folded tongue over the upper, recalling classic cleats worn on the pitch. Crafted from a single perforated piece, the flap allows for asymmetric lacing. Three pairs of laces are included, creating a graphic interplay of interwoven colors that reflects the contrasts central to Magliano’s design language. Function and eccentricity come together in a design that moves between culture and couture. The collaboration is introduced in three colorways. A deep black version with cream accents, a white edition with black contrasts, and a pearlescent pink silhouette. For this release, Veja places the Magliano logo at the forefront, honoring the identity of the Bologna based brand while giving the Panenka a distinct new character.

Tiffany & Co. Introduces the Enamel Watch

/

Tiffany & Co. Introduces the Enamel Watch Tiffany & Co. revisits one of its most storied crafts with the Enamel watch, a new timepiece shaped by the vivid paillonné enamel Jean Schlumberger revived in the 1960s. Three variations make their debut, each framed by a rotating ring of Tiffany Blue® or white enamel and the collection’s signature cross‑stitch motif in 18k gold. The dial is a study in light: a diamond‑set center encircled by enamel that shifts with every movement of the wrist. The stitches mark the hours, but never stay still — a quiet, playful gesture that echoes Schlumberger’s approach to design. Presented in a 36 mm case of white or yellow gold, the watch is produced in limited quantities. The craft behind it is meticulous. Paillonné enamel requires layers of gold or silver leaf, translucent color and repeated firings to achieve its depth and radiance. The rotating ring alone demands 65 hours of work. Diamonds are snow‑set across the case and dial, creating an almost continuous surface of reflection. Matching alligator straps in Tiffany Blue® or white complete the piece, while a high‑jewelry version pairs the enamel with a full pavé bracelet in 18k white gold. A modern tribute to a near‑forgotten craft, the Enamel watch carries Tiffany & Co.’s legacy forward; luminous, intricate, and unmistakably its own.
