Led by internationally acclaimed glassblower Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert, Paris-based atelier JMW Studio creates ethereal pendants that enhance any space with their sensual shape and rich glow. In its first collection with Holly Hunt, JMW Studio is presenting four unique designs made from free-blown glass: the Cloud pendant, a billowing form suspended on brass; the Winter Light, which touts a filigree technique ten years in the making; the Autumn Light, which shines through an opaque glass; and the Pilule, a two-tone orb inspired by the place where the sky touches the land. “I first discovered JMW Studio while on a sourcing trip several years ago and was blown away by the sculptural scale and incredible luminosity of their work,” says Jo Annah Kornak, SVP/Executive Director of Holly Hunt. “We couldn’t be more excited to share these extraordinary works.”

6. Ghislaine Viñas for The Rug Company

Highly sought after for her vivacious interiors that combine saturated colors and myriad patterns to delightful effect, designer Ghislaine Viñas created the new Shongololo rug for The Rug Company, available in numerous monochromatic and multi-color options as well as various pile heights. “The Shongololo rug was inspired by large millipedes found in South Africa, where I grew up. As a child, I found these creatures so endearing and fascinating,” Viñas says. “Despite the playful inspiration, the rug’s rounded forms are very sophisticated. The pattern extends beyond a traditional rectangular shape, activating the unique outline.”
