Richard Hutten
Dutch designer Richard Hutten has reshaped concepts and redefined modern forms through imaginative furniture. He creates pieces from a place of playful innovation, including desk accessories, side chairs and other whimsical work.
Hutten was born in Rotterdam in 1967. He graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1991. Soon after, he became part of a design movement that sparked the Droog furniture company in the Netherlands. By 1993, he was showing his work in solo exhibitions. From there, the demand for his creations increased, with notable and influential clients including the Lloyd Hotel Amsterdam, I+I Milano and Princess Beatrix of the Dutch royal house.
Celebrated furniture pieces like his Cloud Chair bring a splash of the surreal to luxurious comfort and embody the essence of his creative philosophy. His work has been featured in many well-known publications, such as the New York Times, ELLE Decoration, Dezeen and the Washington Post. Hutten has exhibited his work around the world, including in Tokyo, New York, Stockholm and Milan. His numerous international awards include the Red Dot Award in 2016 and the Great Indoors Award in 2007.
Hutten has been the art director of Gispen, one of the top Dutch furniture brands, since 2008. He oversees its furniture design and continues to produce new creations.

Christofle
Although he started his career as a jeweler in 1830 — after apprenticing with his copper jeweler brother-in-law years earlier — Charles Christofle (1805–63) recognized that Second Empire France had an untapped audience for luxury silverware and tableware.
Gold and silver gilt had been the high-end standard in the 18th century, yet society after the Industrial Revolution demanded a more affordable, but still refined, approach. So in the 1840s, Christofle cornered the market on electrolytic gilding and silver plating, dominating the hold on patents in the country for over a decade. His work soon attracted the attention of Louis-Philippe I and then Napoleon III, under whom he was named Fournisseur de l’Empereur, cementing the prestige of his brand.
While Christofle created decadent centerpieces and tableware for the French palaces — as well as prominent clients like the Orient Express — the company’s electroplating of silverware that was far less expensive than that made by silversmiths attained widespread popularity. At a time when many who could not afford gold or silver still used wooden utensils, Christofle was a game changer for at-home dining. An appearance at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago furthered the company’s reach to American consumers who would soon rival the manufacturer’s European clientele.
The 20th century saw Christofle adapting to changing tastes in its offerings, such as the Aria collection, which debuted in 1985 with column-like lines on its flatware designed by Bernard Yot, and the playful egg-shaped silverware container introduced in 2015 that opens to reveal a full flatware set. The company also now sells barware, home accessories and even jewelry, harkening back to its roots. Now almost two centuries old, Christofle maintains its reputation as a leading flatware and silverware company under the ownership of the Chalhoub group, its utensils gracing tables in homes, hotels and restaurants all over the world.
