There are so many design fairs opening up worldwide, that it is hard to navigate them. Now that SOFA is gone, there is a place for a good fair to showcase excellence in contemporary decorative arts. It seems that COLLECT, which will open in 2014 fulfills this voice. Launched by the Crafts Council in London in 2004, it has since established itself as the leading international fair for museum-quality contemporary decorative arts.

This masterpiece was commissioned around 1505 by a member of the imperial court of the Netherlands and entered the Rothschild family collection in the 19th century. The 150-page book features colored drawings  and borders by leading masters of illumination, including painter Gerard Horenbout, who served in the court of England's Henry VIII.

Piero Ambrogio Busnelli, founder of the Italian furniture brand B&B Italia died at the age of 87. Pioneer of modern design, he founded his company, one of Italy's major furniture manufacturers in 1973, having previously developed the company C&B Italia with Cesare Cassina in 1966. Currently, B&B Italia is controlled by his two sons, Giorgio and Emanuele. Under his leadership, B&B became known during the height of the postmodernist phase in Italian design for using experimental materials, such as polyurethane foam molding around metal structures, a method which enabled creating padded furniture. Thanks for his extensive relationship with leading designers, he produced furniture by Gaetano Pesce, Ettore Sottsass, and Vico Magistretti.
