AFTER HOURS
For The Deco Apartment in Paris, interior design studio Iqosa set out to honour the confidence of 80s material language without letting the space read as a period piece.
The master bedroom offers a considered nod to the era, bringing together dark wood, deep plum tones, lacquered surfaces and sculptural furniture. Suspended beside the bed, NEPENTHES provides, in their words, “light that feels almost like jewellery”.

EQUINOX
Today, the Sun crosses the celestial equator: day and night held momentarily in balance as the arc of the year turns once more.
Here in the Southern Hemisphere, astronomical spring begins. In the Northern Hemisphere, autumn. Midway between the solstices, the equinox reminds us to seek balance and acknowledge change.

STRATA
Stone atop stone.
PETRA’s rose quartz slices illuminate the scene from above, while the solid marble top of the Barbera Design Bronze Round Table anchors it below.
Created recently in our studio to welcome VIP guests.

MIROSUNA
Good design contributes to human wellbeing. That belief shaped Sally Kellett’s vision for Mirosuna, a mindfulness and meditation studio in South Melbourne.
Designed by Melanie Beynon Architecture as a place for deep relaxation, Mirosuna brings together acoustics, visual ambience, tactility and climate to support a slower, more restorative state. Warm indirect light, soft natural materials and a muted palette work together to create a place where you leave the city at the door.

VANITY
It seems vanity can last. VANITY SCREEN is back in the studio, nine years after it was crafted here. Cast in solid bronze and inlaid with lapis lazuli, clear and smoky quartz, its lunar surface is still drawing the eye.

CONTINUUM
9.6 metres, 31 feet. One NEPENTHES Tendril, cascading through the heart of this private residence on Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
This ambitious custom project was designed in concert with the sculptural timber staircase that climbs the full height of the home. The continuous sweep of the staircase carries through to the lighting, which threads the stairwell from ceiling to floor.
Architecture and lighting as one.

THE FINAL TOUCH
Each piece is meticulously assembled, illuminated and checked from every angle before being cleared for departure.
One final stop inside the studio, then out into the world.

ECLIPSES
Sixteen days after the Moon cast its shadow across Earth in a total solar eclipse, Earth responds.
Tonight, its shadow passes across the full Moon in a near-total lunar eclipse, leaving only a sliver illuminated.
Best viewed across the Americas, with parts of Europe and Africa catching it too. Unfortunately, out of sight on our home soil.

THE POEM
Staircases are moments of transition: between levels, perspectives and light. The character of a home reveals itself through them in sequence. Perhaps that’s what Louis Kahn meant when he called the stair “the poem of a house.”
