Not content with just having a good name to begin with, Faye Toogood has rapidly made a great name for herself on the interiors circuit in recent years, as a stylist and now as a furniture designer, and here at Because we now are hotly anticipating her third furniture collection.

Set to launch during the London Design Festival in September, the collection is called 'Delicate Interference', and will be available exclusively through Phillips de Pury & Company.

Right on trend, as the former Decoration Editor at World of Interiors is apt to be, Delicate Interference "examines the natural, optical force of iridescence" in a range of pieces in bronze, aluminium, steel, glass and resin. By "natural, optical, force of iridescence" we're only guessing that it is channeling the multihued marvels that are butterflies and beetles, rainbows and the likes, but either way the results are very pretty.

The collection comprises a dressing table, a floor light, a wall sconce, an oil resin cube, and a mobile as well as updated versions of the Spade Chair, Spade Stool and Element Table from the second range. The exhibition will be on view to the public from 16 September until 4 October 2011 at the Phillips de Pury space at Claridge's, 45 - 47 Brook Street, London W1.

From the Kodak camera to the Kenwood Chef, with Parker pens, taxi cabs and Anglepoise lamps all squeezed inbetween, the range of Kenneth Grange is awe-inspiring. The designer is the focus of the Design Museum's major summer exhibition - a celebratory retrospective of more than 50 years of Grange's career to date. And while it might appear on the surface to be an exhibition of quite ordinary everyday items, it's also an extraordinary eye opener, featuring all kinds of innovations that have in some way or other helped to modernise British life over the decades.

It's easy to be distracted by pretty things when wandering the streets of Paris. But aesthetes with a roving eye didn't have a chance recently as they were drawn in their droves towards the lights on display at the Galerie Gosserez this month.

A new series from D.Lab, a Singaporean design brand and "incubation centre", the unusual side lamps are deceptively simple, and eminently covetable in a gorgeous colour palette of pinks, blues and greys, with maple wood bases and aluminium shades.

The lamps were on show alongside a collection of equally sleek vases by Beatrix Li-Chin Loos. Made from circular pieces of scrap material arranged around a glass tube, the series is called Bonsai Equilibrium and is entirely handmade.

Kudos to the gallery - for which the vases were especially commissioned - in arranging such a happy pairing of objets d'art for our delight. Although the exhibition is technically finished now the lamps and vases are still available on enquiry.
