This carpet collection is the result of the metaphorical and literal disconnect from ‘normal’ life during the pandemic. As Dyson explains: ‘during one of the lockdowns I found myself marooned on a boat for nearly three months as we couldn’t get ashore without isolating’. Her muse became the endless surrounding sea, with this experience serving as the basis for nine new designs.

3. Panama
By Meneghello Paolelli Associati for Oiside

The designers used craft as their inspiration for this outdoor furniture range. Wire rod and wicker, and even upholstered elements, provide the collection with a contemporary aesthetic, while also helping it withstand the elements. It comes with several colour choices, which make it a good option for a developing outdoor design scheme.

6. The Impossible Table
By Duffy London

The Impossible table from Christopher Duffy builds on Duffy London’s repertoire for illusionary design. This piece is played out in eye-catching polished and matte black steel, forming two distinct blocks. Its sculptural forms highlight a sudden transition from solid to negative space, with the top half appearing to be detached and floating. It makes for an engaging focal point.
