9 Spectacular New Product Collaborations to Shop in October

Hundreds of innovative home products debut each month, but few embody the brilliance that ensues when two disparate parties put their heads together to create something truly special. Below, Galerie highlights nine product collaborations that captured our attention in October.   

1. Norm Architects for Audo Copenhagen 

Originally designed as a bespoke fixture for London’s Chancery House in 2023, the sculptural Chancery Lamp has joined Audo Copenhagen’s range of lighting. Norm Architects conceived the luminaire as a suspended sculpture scaled down for broader use while preserving the original’s architectural presence and rigorous balance of light, proportion, and material. Made from brushed aluminum with a rippling conical form and concealed dimmable opal LED bulb, the pendant emits a soft ambient glow suited to generous ceiling heights. “The lamp was conceived as a sculptural gesture—monolithic, stepped, and reflective,” says Norm Architects founder Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen. “It’s a piece of architecture within the room, which can create space within space.” 

2. Commune for Christopher Farr 

California counterculture finds a lush expression in Commune’s new Psychedelic collection of hand-knotted wool and silk rugs for Christopher Farr. The Los Angeles studio reimagined traditional floral motifs through a West Coast lens, trading classical Persian and European prettiness for refreshing injections of punk irreverence. Weeds and mushrooms bloom in rich, gem-toned hues reminiscent of 1960s Filmore posters while a cannabis garland replaces William Morris’s ivy border and giant technicolor poppies evoke Jean-Michel Frank rugs. Commune also photographed the series at late artist J.B. Blunk’s hand-built home in Marin County, a landmark of postwar craft and the free-thinking spirit that inspired the collection. 

3. Helle Mardahl for Design Within Reach 

Helle Mardahl has brought her candy-colored world to Design Within Reach with an exclusive collection of hand-blown glass objects designed to infuse everyday moments with joy. Inspired by the whimsy of a childhood sweet shop, the Danish artist reimagined tableware through a Nordic lens by pairing glossy finishes and clear glass with lively accents. Developed with Design Within Reach creative director Omar Nobil, the palette layers warm, earthy hues with luminous bursts of color. Each vessel, dish, and glass is mouth-blown using centuries-old techniques, giving each piece a singular character shaped by the rhythm of the artisan’s hand. 

4. Ingrid Donat for Ginori 1735 

Ingrid Donat masterfully wields many materials, but has never tried her hand at porcelain. That changed with a Ginori 1735 collaboration that unites the French sculptor’s expressive artistry with the Florentine Manifattura’s centuries-old craftsmanship and translates her tactile approach into a tabletop setting. Each surface bears engraved motifs inspired by scarification techniques central to her practice and long present in her work with bronze, wood, parchment, and textiles. The Maya service in ivory-white porcelain includes five sculpted plate forms including flat, soup, dessert, and bread alongside crystal glassware, polished silver cutlery, and bronze accessories such as napkin rings, place cards, and candle holders. “The porcelain surprised me,” Donat reflects. “It’s a pure but extremely expressive material and the Manifattura treated it with poetic care.” 

5. Bradley Odom for Jaipur Rugs 

Atlanta designer Bradley Odom has infused his first rug collection for Jaipur Living with the soulful contrasts that define his interiors. Handcrafted by Indian artisans using 100 percent wool, the debut reflects his longstanding belief in heirloom-quality pieces made to endure. The collection comprises two families of rugs: Avis, a hand-knotted pattern featuring abstract avian motifs that capture movement and stillness; and Solum, a handwoven series whose raised geometric forms echo natural terrains and shifting topographies. Available in natural tones of sand, rust, and clay, the collection channels Odom’s Southern roots and Jaipur Living’s artisanal expertise into durable, heirloom-quality art for the floor. 

6. Willo Perron for Knoll 

Knoll is expanding its collaboration with creative director Willo Perron with the new Perron Pillo Lounge Chair, a sculptural single-seat companion to last year’s Pillo Sofa. Available as either a swivel or fixed model, the chair resembles a freestanding stack of oversized cushions yet offers the full-body comfort of an enveloping lounge. “We reduced the scale while maintaining the sofa’s original spirit,” says Perron. “You’re fully immersed in the Pillo-ness of the Pillo.” The pared-back form also invites customization through a range of Knoll Textiles, creating what Perron describes as a “choose-your-own-adventure experience.”  

7. Ajiri Aki for Modern Matter 

As founder of Madame de la Maison, tastemaker Ajiri Aki has built a devoted following owing to her discerning eye for antiques and flair for the French art of gathering. She now turns her attention to hardware with a Parisian-inspired range for Modern Matter. Drawing from 19th-century French design and the elegance of Haussmann-era structures, it reinterprets classical motifs such as pinecones, swans, and lion heads—symbols of hospitality and strength—as sculptural accents in solid brass. Door hardware continues the narrative through floral details, beaded edging, and Regency-style backplates, while Cremone bolts nod to classic French joinery. The collection also introduces tabletop pieces such as a pinecone card holder. 

8. Dumais Made for Nickey Kehoe 

Texture, whimsy, and nature converge in a new limited-edition collaboration between Nickey Kehoe and Connecticut studio Dumais Made. Handcrafted using locally sourced stoneware clay from Massachusetts, the capsule includes sculptural lamps, pendants, sconces, a tray, and a mirror, each marked by raw, hand-applied surfaces and a palette inspired by lichen, pinecones, and other organic elements that exude warmth. “We drew from a mix of found objects, old book pages, and photos captured on our travels,” explains Todd Nickey, the co-founder of Nickey Kehoe.

9. Tiffany Howell for Ellison Studios 

Sweeping curves and unexpected asymmetry define the Poet Sofa, a collaboration between Ellison Studios and designer Tiffany Howell of Night Palm. Reinterpreting the sensual forms of 1970s lounges through a contemporary lens, the statement sofa exudes sculptural panache; its generous scale encourages gathering while an enveloping shape invites solitary lounging, echoing both studios’ shared fascination with mood, texture, and atmosphere. Upholstered in plush polyester velvet with a lustrous sheen that heightens its tactile appeal, Poet encapsulates the feeling-driven ethos that links Night Palm’s sought-after interiors with the louche sensibilities that define much of Ellison Studios’ catalog. The piece is available exclusively through Design Within Reach.
