Nov 21, 2017

in tribute to the late visionary zaha hadid, charlotte olympia launches two limited edition pieces, a platform wedge shoe and a clutch bag, both featuring fluid forms in perspex with rose gold metal accents. in conjunction to these, special packaging was created to echo the sculptural qualities of the designs.

launching on 21st november, the two pieces will be available exclusively at charlotte olympia retail stores and online, priced at £1,600 for the shoes and £2,600 for the clutch bag. to mark the occasion, a reception will take place at christie’s on the day of launch with charlotte olympia dellal taking part in a panel discussion. charlotte will also be at the brompton cross store on 22nd november to sign the purchased limited edition designs.

“zaha hadid was a phenomenal person to have known and her work and aesthetic are constant sources of inspiration for me. it was an honor and privilege to have worked with her and to continue working with her fantastic team on this dream collaboration.”
charlotte olympia dellal, founder and creative director of charlotte olympia

“we are always delighted to work with clients who share our passion for bold design and pristine craftsmanship. charlotte olympia and her team have masterfully translated our ideas into reality in two fantastic pieces of superb quality.”

in denmark, where winters are cold and long, creating a warm, cozy atmosphere is a way of life. there is even a danish word for it – hygge – which explains our national obsession with candles. the idea behind the carrie led lamp is to honor hygge in the context of modern living. lightweight and portable with a usb charger, the possibilities of the lamp are endless. use it as a bedside lamp, on an office desk or as an alternative to candles on the dining table. carrie is also perfectly sized for picnicking in the park, festival-going or moonlit walks on the beach.

[ about stainless steel wallets ]
the discovery, refinement and development of stewart/stand’s signature stainless steel material coincided with a seminal exhibition at the cooper-hewitt national design museum in new york. the title of the exhibition: extreme textiles.

the material has diverse applications: incorporated into spacesuits for durability, architects for flexibility, engineers for precision and impermeability, surgeons for strength, and stewart/stand for its beauty and security.

around the time of this exhibition we began developing the material for our specific applications, falling in love with both the steel’s touch and handle. stewart/stand sensed a tremendous opportunity at the intersection of fashion and technology. combining age-old tailoring techniques, with state of the art equipment, stewart/stand ensures a thin, lightweight alternative to traditional leather; an intelligent accessory that can be carried every day.

chisel15-londonscape1

london cityscape framed 1:5000 // a 3d map of the city of london at 1:5000. a single resin tile measuring 30x30cm encapsulated in a beautiful perspex frame. the model can wall hang or be displayed on a desk or table top.

chisel15-bauhaus1

bauhaus dessau // the bauhaus dessau was designed by walter gropius in 1925 to house the bauhaus design school. the building bares many similarities to his critically acclaimed fagus factory. the school was responsible for launching the modern movement and shaped much of the architecture of the 20th century.

the bauhaus dessau with its strong lines and simple form is an outstanding example of modernist architecture.

chisel15-batterysea1

battersea power station // battersea power station, built in 1933, has been crumbling away since shutting down over 20 years ago. despite its dilapidation the building remains an iconic landmark with its instantly recognisable chimneys. this building is a true london landmark and worthy of the term ‘iconic’.

our architectural sculpture of battersea power station’s northern chimneys is striking. it displays the beauty and function that sir giles gilbert scott was so famous for and is the perfect example of mantelpiece art.

each of our architectural sculptures is handmade in our studio in sussex, england. they are made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth, cool feel. stylish ornaments, gifts or presents that are handmade in britain and look fabulous on a desk, shelf or wall.

address: battersea power station, 188 kirtling street, london, sw8 5bp, england.

chisel15-lescaze1

lescaze house // in 1933-34 william lescaze, the revered modernist architect, designed and built his own house in manhattan. claimed to be new york’s first modernist house, it stands out from its row of brownstones due to its striking design. white concrete, glass bricks, an absence of ornamentation and its use of strong geometric forms make this house unique.

lescaze approach to architecture can be seen in every facet of the building. from the external design to the internal layout, his focus on function and practical living are evident.

chisel & mouse have produced a stunning sculpture of the front facade, paying a fitting homage to one of new york’s most desirable residences.

each of our architectural sculptures is handmade in our studio in sussex, england. they are made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth, cool feel. stylish ornaments, gifts or presents that are handmade in britain and look fabulous on a desk, shelf or wall.
