London fashion designer turned ceramicist Henry Holland's brazen aesthetic translates seamlessly to textiles. Taking cues from nerikomi, the Japanese pottery technique of stacking and cutting colored clay, Holland's debut lineup for Harlequin features organic forms and warm hues that pull directly from his own earthenware and glass creations. Some of the prints are Holland selects from the Harlequin archives, including floral Ludaix and moiré-style Elsworthy, which called to mind his family's summer home in France and the flashy green suit he wore at his wedding.
Among the arresting product drops at Paris Design Week was Léa Zeroil's Solstice collection for Modern Metier. Zeroil grew up in Corsica and created six pieces, including a carved ash chair and sand-casted mirrors, reflecting her proximity to nature. The Vigne pendant recalls just-bloomed fruit while the Libra sconce nods to the solar disc in Egyptian mythology. Her designs showcase a unique blend of personal inspiration and mythical reference, making them stand out at the event.
