Spotted at the Salone del Mobile in Milan last week, glass, plastic and wood were combined to create layered lighting and accessory designs that adorned stands across the fair. From Eugeni Quitllet’s plastic vessels for Kartell, to up and coming designer Kristine Five Melvær’s Moa lamps, stacking was a key trend at the show.

Italian brand Kartell exhibited a collection of brightly colored decorative vases by Eugeni Quitllet that were made of transparent PMMA. Called the Shibuya Vases, their sculptural forms take inspiration from the art deco era.

Karoline Fesser‘s glass and wood stacking vessels were on show at Salone Satellite.

Available in two sizes, Finnish designer Katriina Nuutinen‘s Tatti vessels are made from mouth blown glass.  The turned wood lids feature a small slot so that coins can be inserted, turning the vessel into a piggy bank.

Yoko is a delicate table lamp design by Norwegian designers Anderssen & Voll for lighting brand Foscarini that features a transparent shade, layered on top of an illuminating body. Although, at a glance, the shade appears to be made from blown glass, closer inspection will reveal that it is, in fact, plastic – polymethilmethacrylate to be precise, which has been blown moulded using cutting edge technology.

Kristine Five Melvær‘s Moa lamps turn the archetypal table lamp design on it’s head by reversing the traditional rigid base and transparent top. The lamp comes in two different shapes and six colors.
