9 Spectacular New Product Collaborations to Shop in May

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 May.

1. Pyrion by Shawn Henderson and Rupp Studio

Shawn Henderson is sought-after for sophisticated interiors awash with unimposing earth tones animated by buoyant textures and colors; ditto for Rupp Studio, whose principal, Mike Rupp, channels his fashion expertise into spaces that effortlessly conjure a romantic ambience. The best qualities of both designers’ practices coalesce in Pyrion, a stellar collection of luminaires imbued with bold, sculptural minimalism. Shaped as an architectural pyramid with smoothed edges, each fixture is finished using a specialized liquid spray metal technique for extra sheen. “We first developed some furniture using this shape but then realized lighting would be great—we both have always struggled to find gorgeous lamps,” Henderson tells Galerie. “We fell in love with the depth and variety of the metal finishes.” Accentuating the forms are custom shades created with Bogotá atelier Verdi, which knitted yaré, a vine native to the Colombian Amazon, with metallic threads for extra sparkle.

2. Studio MRS x Nordic Knots

More than a decade ago, Nordic Knots co-founder Liza Laserow shared a workspace with Michelle R. Smith, right as the interior designer was finding her footing in the design industry. The two stayed in touch, admiring each other’s burgeoning careers from afar, but recently joined forces to launch a collection of four rugs: one all-natural jute and three distinct flatweaves, marking the brand’s foray into the category. Each is imbued with understated colors (sludgy greens, warm terra cottas) and subtle, unobtrusive patterns inspired by pocket squares that Smith describes as “an accessory to any room, and easy to use.”

3. Campbell-Rey for The Lacquer Company

Given their affinity for historical architecture and traditional decorative tecniques, it’s no surprise that Campbell-Rey—the award-winning design atelier founded by Duncan Campbell and Charlotte Rey—would channel those points of inspiration into their debut line for The Lacquer Company. Nodding to the lustrous spirit of 20th-century European lacquer and its early masters Jean Dunand and Eileen Gray, the London duo created a ten-piece collection spanning tables, trays, consoles, and even a wastebasket whose glossy two-tone and hand-painted tortoiseshell surfaces conjure feelings of old-world refinement.

4. Perspectives by Mathias Kiss for Christofle

Since the 19th century, Christofle has sought out era-defining talents—Gio Ponti after World War II, Andrée Putman at the turn of the millennium—to translate contemporary aesthetics into timeless heirlooms. Now, the heritage French silversmith is leaning on the vision of polymath French artist Mathias Kiss to channel his spellbinding work at the intersection of sculpture and decorative arts into a stunning sextet called Perspectives. Evoking the geometric moldings often found in Kiss’s work, the collection of chrome aluminum and glass candelabras can be freely combined into interlocking compositions that are just as impactful as his installations. 

5. Jardins du Monde by Tatiana de Nicolay for Jaipur Rugs

From the verdant splendor of Paris’s tranquil Albert Kahn gardens to the vibrant blooms of English meadows, globetrotting designer Tatiana de Nicolay has long mined the outdoors for inspiration when creating her lush watercolor illustrations and embroideries. She shared the idea for botanical-inspired rugs with Isabel Dubern-Mallevays, co-founder of the Invisible Collection, a devotee of traditional craft who connected de Nicolay with the seasoned artisans of Jaipur Rugs in Rajasthan. Each of the seven rugs in the award-winning Jardins du Monde collection embodies a vivid narrative of botanical marvels, from designs evoking a trellis intertwined with vivid florals to a tea garden–inspired piece that harmoniously intertwines plants, palm leaves, and Japanese architectural elements. 

6. The Ravine Collection by Post Company and Idaho Wood

Idaho Wood began as a “garage business” specializing in the small-batch creation of custom fixtures in red cedar. The family-owned brand recently underwent a relaunch at the hands of entrepreneur JT Vaughn, who also facilitated its first design collaboration, with interiors firm Post Company. Drawing inspiration from armatures, the Ravine Collection—named after Brooklyn’s last remaining forest—consists of a pyramidal table lamp mounted atop a rectangular base and a flush mount featuring two rectangular elements echoing the table lamp’s rigorous proportions. “We wanted to honor the inherent beauty of timber,” says Leigh Salem, founding partner of Post Company, “and to elevate the understated elegance of a material that’s often overlooked.” 

7. The Eterna Collection by Meyer Davis for Arca

Arca has amassed a formidable list of collaborators—Kelly Wearstler, Vincent Van Duysen, Hector Esrawe—to create exquisite furnishings that unfailingly command attention. Now the Mexican purveyor of luxury natural stone has joined forces with Meyer Davis, the red-hot design firm who has given hotels for the Four Seasons, restaurants for Daniel Boulud, and Oscar de la Renta’s boutiques a livable, residential feel. The same relaxed grandeur of the firm’s interiors translates beautifully to Eterna, their tightly curated collection of architecturally inspired cocktail tables, side tables, and consoles for Arca. Each piece embodies modularity, mixed materials, layered compositions, and the rhythmic interplay of texture and shadow, and incorporates a range of Arca stones including Rosso Levanto, Tundra Grey, and Coffee Onyx. 

8. Nickey Kehoe x House of Hackney 

Even from across the pond, House of Hackney and California studio Nickey Kehoe recognized they share values of traditional craft and purposeful design—shared aesthetics the two design brands “felt would complement one another,” says Todd Nickey, co-founder of Nickey Kehoe. The two brands’ first-ever capsule spans handcrafted low-back settees, wingback chairs, tufted ottomans, and cassocks, all produced in Los Angeles by skilled woodworkers and upholsterers using heritage techniques and materials like cotton velvet and Woolkeepers-certified wool. House of Hackney prints—such as Quercus, a contemporary riff on William Morris’s beloved Acorn pattern—appear with antique carpet motifs and bold stripes in a palette of verdant greens, deep coppers, and earthy neutrals. “This collection is designed to live far beyond just one lifetime,” Nickey. “We love when something feels as if it was acquired, not purchased.”

9. Hudson Grace x Peter Dunham

“I’ve been dreaming of doing a tabletop line for ages,” says Peter Dunham, the Los Angeles interior designer whose fabulously fun yet poised interiors have propelled the multi-hyphenate to industry stardom. “Entertaining at home is a big and happy part of my life.” His signature blend of worldly elegance and California ease can now grace your dining room thanks to a new partnership with home entertaining mainstay Hudson Grace. His debut tabletop collection encompasses handcrafted plates and linens that merge Dunham’s vivacious patterns and bold prints with Hudson Grace’s small-batch craftsmanship and timeless silhouettes, resulting in a fresh yet familiar collection designed to make every table feel personal and celebration-ready.
