In August, Dezeen highlighted significant releases in furniture and lighting. Knoll unveiled the Perron Pillo Bed, designed by Willo Perron, marking the company's first bed in many years. The Ice Cube lamp, created by Copenhagen's 91-92 studio, celebrates the upcoming 2026 Chinese Year of the Horse. Andu Masebo designed curvy side tables for IKEA's Konstrunda collection. The Gel Lamp, a hand-cast silicone LED piece with interchangeable gels, was introduced by Public Parts, established by Billy Easter. Milan's NM3, in collaboration with Quadro Design and Andrea Ferrari, produced the OG-NM301 stool for outdoor settings. London designers Audra Grays and Maxim Lester teamed up on Fused, a desk lamp made from glass and metal scraps, set to be showcased at the London Design Festival.
