Patterned tiles combined with wood seems to be hot design trend for the last months. Wherever you would like to have it - hallway, kitchen or bathroom.

WeWood furniture is a must-have piece for wood lovers. Their joiners' great attention to details makes the product look absolutely stunning. Soft touch, rounded edges, great quality.

From their website:
WEWOOD’s philosophy is to enhance the high-end joinery, the raw material (hardwood), the innovation and the Portuguese design in each produced piece, never forgetting the work of employees, partners and suppliers, thus we feel proud to be part of WEWOOD’s family. WEWOOD is a partnerships’ platform with designers, architects and young talents, which has as base of its collections the design combined with high-end joinery, these are produced by the experienced hands of artisans featuring the most sophisticated technology. WEWOOD presents his collection with signed and numbered products, ensuring the uniqueness in each piece. Design, sophistication, tradition and ecology are points which we don’t give up. All pieces are original and of a great environmental concern during its production. Cross-culturally and versatile, these pieces excel for the simplicity and the purity of its lines.

I love finding small companies at Maison et Objet - designers who give their products real time and effort and a hand-made touch. One such designer that I found was Belgian-based lighting designer Sophie Casier. I love the simple but intricate look of her metal and wooden light shades. The three layers of surface - two horizontal and one vertical strip - create interesting plays of light. The light shines against the wall but also sits on the surface of the material, creating a soft halo of indirect lighting. There is also a version of the lights that come with an LED detail that creates long streaks of angular light reflections on the wall. Overall a fantastic, multi-faceted light shade with lots of customisable details in terms of final wood finish or painted colour. From such an original and innovative designer as Sophie, we shall certainly be using these lights in a project as soon as possible!
