THE
EDIT

The design world this week: real makers, real collections, real conversations, and the people worth knowing. Curated daily, released weekly, everything sourced.

Tessa Silva

Designer of the Week

Tessa Silva

Textiles & furniture · London, United Kingdom

Dezeen picked her as one of six rising talents in London's design scene in September 2026, and she is showing with Max Radford Gallery at Collect 2026 and in Progressive Permanence at the Christopher Farr showroom during London Design Festival.

Tessa Silva makes upholstered furniture stitched by hand. Her Smock project works fabric into deep, hand-smocked pleats, and she has built a lounge chair from hand-stitched horsehair and coconut fibre. Before that she made vases from waste skimmed milk and chalk, pushed through a sausage stuffer.

Fabric · September 2026

De Le Cuona reaches for faded European grandeur with Rugged Revival

Rugged Revival is de Le Cuona's newest fabric collection for the American market, eight heirloom-quality textiles across the brand's Curtaining, Sheer and Upholstery weights, built from wool, linen and hemp into richly textured jacquards, cotton velvets and embroidered sheers in a faded, European-grandeur palette running from bleached chalk through burnt umber to a deep vineyard wine. The line worth carrying into a client conversation is the brand's own one, refined beauty meeting the bold character of a room that actually gets lived in, which makes this the specification for a brief that wants heritage weight without the stiffness of a period reproduction, and a collection wide enough to dress a whole room from a single story rather than piece by matched piece.

Morris & Co. reissues C.F.A. Voysey's own archive as Voysey House Volume I

Voysey House Volume I is Morris & Co.'s first collection built entirely around C.F.A. Voysey's own archive rather than William Morris's, nine wallpaper designs including Snake & Tulip, Dory and Squire's Topiary redrawn from the original blocks onto updated grounds, among them a metallic ground and a papyrus paper for Papyrus River. It matters because Voysey's flatter, more graphic hand reads very differently to a client than the denser Morris prints do, so this is the shelf to reach for on a scheme that wants genuine Arts and Crafts provenance without the density, and the archive story itself is a strong thing to hand a client who likes to know what they are buying into.

Farrow & Ball's autumn edit pairs the usual moody tones with a few unexpected zingers

Farrow & Ball's Colors of Autumn palette gathers nine shades, among them Cardamom, Bancha, Stone Blue, Selvedge, Harissa and Etruscan Red, and leans on the brand's wet-stone and lichen references as much as the obvious ambers and burnt reds. For a working designer it is a ready-made seasonal shortlist, the quiet earthy neutrals give a scheme its calm backbone while Harissa or Etruscan Red offer a controlled accent for a snug, a boot room or a front door.

Gubi brings back Carlo Nason's 1969 Lotus lamp in mouth-blown glass

Gubi is reissuing Carlo Nason's 1969 LT305, nicknamed Lotus by collectors, with four individually mouth-blown shades in bubbled pulegoso glass over a compact steel structure. It was developed with Nason and his son Alberto and follows the designer's death in May 2026, so expect the glass to carry small natural variations from lamp to lamp.

Studio Waldemeyer swaps the flame for patented electronics in Lumeable, its rechargeable candlelight

Lumeable is Studio Waldemeyer's rechargeable candlelight, a hand-formed glass vessel set over the founder's patented electronic flame, sold as a family of five sizes with several brightness levels and a replaceable battery, and it lit St Stephen Walbrook for London Design Festival on 15 September with a live jazz set played by candlelight.

Talking point · September 2026

Kelly Wearstler's first H&M Home collection sells out within hours, and the trade should take note

H&M Home's first-ever collaboration with a named designer is Kelly Wearstler's, unveiled at Milan Design Week inside Palazzo Acerbi and landing online and in select stores on 3 September: modular lounge chairs, lamps, vases, side tables and trays in wood, ceramic, marble and metal, priced at H&M's own level, with several pieces already sold out within hours. It is worth clocking for the pricing signal rather than the pieces themselves, Wearstler's curved, high-gloss, materially rich silhouettes are now the reference language at the high-street tier, so a client is likely to arrive with this collection on their phone asking for the look at a fraction of the cost, and it is a useful thing to have already seen.

Seven London Design Festival pieces are built from what the workshop usually throws away

Dezeen's own edit of seven London Design Festival pieces gathers objects built entirely from offcuts and workshop scraps: Lewis Duckworth laminates leftover timber ends into the single-plank Dagwood Bench, Tom Golland bolts walnut and white oak offcuts together with zinc-plated steel for a tall Tissue Box, Audra Grays and Maxim Lester build the Fused sconces from glass offcuts, scrap metal and old LED strips, Carsten in der Elst carves a monolithic chair from quarry offcasts in the Graywacke Offcut series, and Duy Huynh, Oscar Warman and Spared each reassemble reclaimed timber, salvaged shelving or workshop sawdust into a coat rack, chair and collectible object.

Twelve names who do not usually make lighting take on the Murano chandelier

Venice Glass Week's headline show, Murano Illumina il Mondo, fills St Mark's Square with twelve chandeliers made by names who do not normally touch lighting, each paired with a Murano furnace and on view until 1 November: architect Norman Foster's Hydra for Salviati spreads twenty frosted-glass arms using the Rigadin technique, artist Cerith Wyn Evans threads neon through Idea Murano's glass for G=A=R=L=A=N=D, and designer Bethan Laura Wood works barrel-shaped filigree into Taiko with Gambaro and Tagliapietra, alongside nine further furnace pairings running from Componenti Dona to Seguso Gianni.
