RELAX BEDSIDE TABLE/LAMP
All tables have legs, but how often do they sprout shoulders and a swiveling head? It was the dual functionality of the Relax bedside table/lamp, created by Defne Koz for Milan-based Fontana Arte, that earned accolades from jurors. "It has a na?e quality that's enjoyable," Deam noted of the whimsical, almost humanoid form.

And yet the monolithic design demonstrates a succinct emotional intelligence that Deam called "poetic." Dare a product designed for the bedroom—that most sacrosanct of places—be anything less? Relax simplifies the evening hours by allowing users to remove the light source from the tabletop and place it overhead. It's a slight modicum of sanity in an otherwise cluttered world, but a soothing one nonetheless.

WOVO SERVEWARE
Designed to bring the look of contemporary, hand-blown glass to an affordable level, the nine-piece WOVO Serveware line includes kitchen items such as salad servers, a thermal carafe, ice bucket and serving tray. The collection's original forms were first carved by hand and then recreated using digital sculpting for mass production. With its heavy construction, organic contours and unique finishes, the plastic serveware, designed by New York-based Smart Design for WOVO, mimics high-cost tableware without the high price. Lovelady said the product felt very substantial for the price range, noting that "the execution of the materials is very strong and the forms felt artistic and emotional." Russak added, "It's a great addition to the 'high design for the masses' trend."
