Metropolis Screen
About the Item
New York City is full of colors. Among the façades of its architecture, within the people walking its streets, here I meander. I came up with this color pallet while spending a day in Transmitter Park, taking pictures from the jetty overlooking the East river, observing the colorways of light changing on the buildings as the day was going by. Some of them caught my eye, like the Freedom Tower, wearing a multitude of shades of blues, like a rhapsody. The rhapsody in blue showing it’s face on the Freedom Tower. If Gershwin had lived to see that. I thought of Walt Disney, Fantasia, and I realized, this is what my first Skyline Screen should represent.
Contemporary designer Gabriel Charbit’s creative journey was shaped by his educational background at Ecole Boulle and ENSCI, as well as an engineering degree. With a keen eye for observation, Gabriel delves into various realms, seeking inspiration from the surrounding worlds and allowing forms to emerge, sparking his ever-renewed curiosity. Following the completion of his master’s degree in design, Gabriel gained valuable experience by working for an architecture firm, a molding workshop, and a furniture edition company. It was during this period that his life’s calling became clear—a project of his own edition company.
Driven by a passion for decontextualization, Gabriel endeavors to transpose works into new settings. He finds fascination in landscapes, cultures, social norms, human characters, and their behaviors, as well as games. His remarkable collection, “Metropolis,” takes enthusiasts on a mesmerizing stroll through the streets of Manhattan, where furniture transcends its traditional role and becomes architectural marvels themselves. New York’s iconic skyscrapers serve as the backdrop for Gabriel’s inspiration, while the forefront showcases carefully selected materials and functions meticulously brought to life in wood or metal. The “Metropolis” collection encompasses a range of furniture pieces, including desks, consoles, sconces, and room dividers.

Edo Landscape Japanese Folding Screen
By Japanese Studio
Located in Brescia, IT
Refined work by a painter from the first half of the 19th century, from the landscape of the "Rinpa" school by a painter from the end of the 18th century, the Rinpa school.
Six panels painted in ink on gold leaf and "gofun" on vegetable paper.
The flowers are made with the "gofun" technique, natural or pigmented white oyster powder.
Rinpa is one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting. The style was consolidated by the brothers Ogata Korin (1658–1716) and Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743).
This folding screen has a very clean design that leaves plenty of room for the beautiful golden landscape.
It comes flat and you can easily hang it with our hooks.
