TIZIO
Few lamps have such a recognisable silhouette as the Tizio. Designed in 1972 by Richard Sapper for Artemide, it found design-icon status during the matt-black-obsessed 80s. It was the first usage of a halogen bulb outside of the automobile industry, meaning the minimal electric current needed to light it could be conducted along its counterweighted arms, allowing it to be wire-free.

Amantea Architects redesigned this back garden in Toronto, Canada to include a dining terrace, patio, sports lawn, swimming pool and pavilion, all within a 560-square-metre space. The pool pavilion is clad in black cedar veneer to contrast with the surrounding foliage while visually receding into the background and contains a washroom, changing room and shower. The pool is lined with Algonquin limestone that extends horizontally on one side to form a deck wide enough for lounge chairs.

SUSSEX
Sussex is a sleek collection of sideboards and storage elements by Terence Woodgate for Punt. Available in a range of configurations and finishes, drawers and cupboards are hidden behind horizontal wooden slats that also serve as handles. The design was inspired by the weatherboard-clad barns of Sussex, England and can be free-standing or wall-mounted.
