BEDU Atelier

LE MILE Magazine names BEDU Atelier
The creator of the Dining Table of the Year 2024

BEDU Atelier’s designs are born from the intrinsic qualities of travertine. This ancient stone’s natural veins, textures, and tonal variations are celebrated rather than masked, allowing each table to tell a unique story. The selection process for materials is meticulous, ensuring every slab of travertine carries an identity of its own, imbued with history and nature’s artistry.

Every table is a result of an unyielding focus on material authenticity. The travertine’s raw beauty is complemented by precise craftsmanship, creating pieces that radiate understated luxury. This balance between the rugged and the refined defines BEDU Atelier’s design ethos, presenting their tables as statements of presence and permanence.

Each table emerges from a process that begins with collaboration. Designers and artisans work together to shape the travertine into forms that evoke simplicity and elegance. Hand-finishing techniques ensure the stone’s natural integrity is preserved, resulting in surfaces that invite touch and admiration.

The 2024 award-winning tables exemplifies this philosophy. Their structures harmonize bold geometric lines with smooth transitions, creating a centerpiece that commands attention without overwhelming its surroundings. Every detail—from the beveled edges to the seamless joins—is a testament to the brand’s pursuit of excellence.

Emerging from the soul of AMAN’s tranquil retreats, these scents translate silence and space into something tangible. Each bottle holds a distilled moment—deliberate, precise, and deeply immersive.

AMAN Essentials AYOM

AMAN Essentials ZUAC

AYOM exists in quiet power. Woods smolder at its heart, curling in whispers of tobacco and spiced earth. There’s a stillness to it, an inhale that pulls you into its depth. Oud, dense and resinous, moves like liquid shadow, while amber and vetiver soften into something intangible—a smoke that hangs in the air long after it’s gone.

ZUAC hums in clarity. Citrus edges cut through cool air, sharp and fleeting, before giving way to the hush of florals. Jasmine and orange blossom unfurl slowly, their softness drawn into sandalwood’s grounded warmth. It hangs close, a muted presence that clings to skin like memory.

The AMAN bottles are built like silent monoliths—deliberate, weighted, and carved with intention. Matte glass strips away distraction, drawing the hand to its cool surface, the eye to its quiet form. Nothing is loud here. Every detail, distilled to its core, feels essential, as though it has always existed.

AMAN Essentials shapes fragrance into place. These scents move like the air in still deserts, the hush of shadowed forests, the glow of far-off waters. They are less worn than inhabited—a personal encounter with silence and earth, captured in layers of essence.

*600 Ways to Glow

written Monica de Luna

Rewind to 1966. Gino Sarfatti’s Model 600 lamp broke rules and boundaries, proving that lighting could flex, adapt, and surprise.

Now, Bottega Veneta, Italy’s high priest of leather luxe, has partnered with Flos to breathe new life into Sarfatti’s icon. The result? A lamp that fuses sculptural statement with timeless vision.

Gino Sarfatti, born in Venice in 1912, had a talent for twisting conventional ideas into something organic, fluid, and unapologetically modern. The Model 600 embodied this ethos with its soft, lead-shot leather base that reshaped the idea of rigidity in design. The same year saw Bottega Veneta experimenting with leather techniques that would define its legacy.

In the latest reinterpretation, Bottega Veneta transforms the Model 600 into a tactile masterpiece. Sarfatti’s smooth leather base now flaunts the unmistakable Intrecciato weave—a textured signature that defines Bottega’s craft. Another iteration, the Intreccio Foulard, amplifies the design’s visual dynamism while maintaining its core identity.

With advanced LED technology, the lamp balances the iconic bulb silhouette with contemporary functionality. The light flows seamlessly between direct and indirect, adapting to the angle of its reflector. Whether placed on a floor or table, it commands the space with a magnetic presence.

Color choices add personality to the design. Black and grey offer understated elegance, while red and emerald green (our most favorite) bring a sense of indulgence. Then there’s that green—the unmistakable Bottega Veneta hue that turns heads. Available in two sizes, the Model 600 redefines how a design piece integrates into modern living.

This collaboration shows how two icons—one in avant-garde lighting, the other in craftsmanship—combine to create something transcendent. It is a dialogue between decades, a modern heirloom with presence and vision.

STOFF Nagel
*A Minimalist Icon

written Monica de Luna

There’s something timeless about the simplicity of form, a quiet elegance that speaks louder than any grand gesture. STOFF Nagel, the Danish design brand that reimagined an icon, understands this balance intimately. Its candle holders demand attention and they command it with effortless grace, reminiscent of an era when minimalism met the sculptural allure of modern design.

Born from the vision of Hans Nagel and the artistic prowess of Werner Stoff, the candle holder is a canvas for personal expression. Introduced in the 1960s, it reflects the architectural and artistic impulses of its time—stackable, modular, and entirely customizable.

STOFF Nagel
Best Candle Holder 2024
selected by LE MILE Magazine

The STOFF Nagel Candle Holder / Best in 2024

The candle holder’s DNA is steeped in history. Hans Nagel, a creative mind with a deep-rooted connection to his family’s craft, found inspiration in the most unexpected of places: a ski trip gone slightly awry. After a fall in the snow, Nagel’s fingers left three distinct holes. Those shapes—simple, geometric, and inherently human—would serve as the basis for the design he would later develop with Werner Stoff. The result? A candle holder that marries organic form with stark precision, a reflection of the mid-century fascination with space-age aesthetics and post-war design innovation.

The candle holders can be endlessly reconfigured—stacked into towering sculptures or spread across a dining table in a minimalist arrangement. It’s this flexibility that resonates with the creative individual, the one who sees beauty not in static perfection but in fluidity, in the ability to reshape the world around them.

The brand’s success is rooted in its refusal to compromise on craftsmanship. Each piece is carefully made, a nod to the original designs by Werner Stoff, whose eye for detail and love for rounded forms continue to influence the collection. Whether cast in chromed metal, brass, or the more recent bronzed finishes, each iteration feels like a rediscovery of something familiar yet fresh.

In the fast-paced world of design, where trends are as fleeting as the seasons, STOFF Nagel stands firm as a symbol of enduring elegance. It’s no wonder the editorial team of LE MILE Magazine selected STOFF Nagel as the Best Candle Holder of 2024. The brand offers an experience—a chance to sculpt light and shadow, to engage with history, and to participate in a narrative that spans decades.

“These pieces are sculptures in waiting, inviting their owners to play, to create, and to reshape their surroundings.”

Alban E. Smajli
Editor-in-Chief, LE MILE Magazine

The modular design, initially conceived as a utilitarian object, has transcended its function to become a piece of art in its own right. Design is loud, but STOFF Nagel moves differently. There’s a calmness in its form, a subtlety that draws you in and invites you to pause. It creates space for personal expression, offering a moment to explore creativity through minimalist beauty. Each piece holds a certain presence, allowing you to shape your surroundings in ways that feel uniquely your own.

*The Sideboard That’s Shaking Up Minimalist Norms

written Amanda Mortenson

When we talk about furniture that blends art with functionality, it’s rare to encounter pieces that truly stand out. This year, LE MILE Magazine has selected Pastform Furniture as our Brand of the Year 2024 in the "Best Sideboard" category, and it’s not just because of their striking design language.

The Libra Sideboard, in particular, represents everything we admire in furniture: a balance between innovative design, sustainable craftsmanship, and minimalist allure.

Pastform Furniture
Best Sideboard 2024 “Libra”
selected by LE MILE Magazine

The LIBRA Sideboard / A Design for Living

Originating from Poland, Pastform has carved out a distinct identity within the contemporary furniture scene. While they might not shout with grand gestures, their subtle, thought-provoking designs resonate louder than any ostentatious display. The essence of their work lies in their craftsmanship — a commitment to producing furniture that feels like an extension of modern architecture, with each piece thoughtfully executed to create a sense of place and personality.

What sets Pastform apart is its unique ability to blend tradition with modernism. Their designs are deeply rooted in Polish craftsmanship, yet they don’t feel stuck in time. Instead, they move forward, pulling elements of past eras and reimagining them for the contemporary eye. It’s a balance of opposites, which is why the name Libra feels so fitting for their award-winning sideboard.

At first glance, the Libra Sideboard commands attention without demanding it. Its minimalist silhouette is clean, functional, and undeniably chic. But, like all good design, the deeper you look, the more you uncover. Pastform’s Libra embraces a thoughtful symmetry — its proportions, materials, and lines all speak to an effortless balance, echoing the astrological symbol it’s named after.

Constructed with a combination of rich wood tones and an elegant matte finish, the Libra feels like the ultimate marriage between nature and precision. The surface is smooth, tactile, and inviting, while the wood’s natural grain is carefully highlighted, reminding us that true luxury often lies in the details.

The Libra is also about practicality, versatility, and adaptability. The sideboard offers a spacious interior with ample storage, making it a standout in living rooms but also in more intimate settings like a hallway or bedroom. Its multi-functionality aligns with the brand’s ethos of blending art with utility, meaning you don’t have to choose between beauty and practicality.

Selecting a Brand of the Year is no easy feat for the editorial team at LE MILE, but Libra made the choice effortless. What struck us most was how this sideboard bridges the gap between artistry and everyday use. The Libra Sideboard is a modernist’s dream — functional, striking, and deeply rooted in timeless design principles. But what makes it even more special to us is its accessibility. While the craftsmanship and materials are of the highest caliber, Pastform ensures that this piece remains available to those who appreciate good design without needing to break the bank.

In a world of mass production, Pastform’s dedication to local craftsmanship and sustainability shines through. The brand is focused on ensuring their practices respect the environment. Each piece, including the Libra, is crafted with sustainability in mind, using locally sourced materials and responsible production methods. This aligns perfectly with the evolving consciousness of today’s consumer, where aesthetics and ethics must go hand in hand.

Pastform crafts pieces that push the boundaries of minimalist design, fusing tradition with a daring modern aesthetic. The Libra Sideboard stands as an evolving masterpiece, shaping the future of how we experience space and design. Enjoy Yourself!

The S 64 chair by Marcel Breuer, an icon of modernist design since its inception in the late 1920s, gets a stunning new look in Thonet’s "Rethinking Classics: S 64 DARK MELANGE" collection.

This reimagining transforms Breuer’s classic into a piece that speaks to contemporary tastes while honoring its storied past.

THONET
S 64 Cantilever Chair DARK MELANGE by Sebastian Herkner

Breuer’s S 64 is celebrated for its seamless fusion of form and function, combining a chromed steel frame with a wooden seat and backrest in woven cane. The original design’s appeal lies in its minimalist aesthetic and the elegant contrast between materials. The new S 64 DARK MELANGE by Sebastian Herkner edition enhances this interplay with a sophisticated dark woven cane, adding depth and a modern twist to Breuer´s timeless design.

The DARK MELANGE collection brings a fresh, versatile aesthetic to the S 64, perfect for a variety of interiors. The dark woven cane, with its rich spectrum of blacks, browns, and natural hues, is achieved through a meticulous natural dyeing process. Each piece of cane exhibits subtle variations in color, highlighting its unique, artisanal quality, emphasizing the natural beauty of the material.

The reimagined S 64 fits effortlessly into diverse settings—from sleek office spaces to cozy home environments. Its dark woven cane offers a contemporary edge that complements the chair’s classic form, making it a standout piece in any space. Beyond aesthetics, the material’s high lightfastness, durability, and abrasion resistance ensure that the S 64 DARK MELANGE is as functional as it is aesthetic.

Thonet’s collaboration with young designer Jan Christian Schulz was crucial in developing the DARK MELANGE cane. Together, they explored various dyeing techniques and material properties to achieve the perfect balance of color and durability. This rigorous process ensures that the new cane meets the highest standards of quality, maintaining the integrity and elegance of Breuer’s original design. The DARK MELANGE collection features five distinctive wood stain colors—Black, Chestnut, Amber, Rosewood, and Sage—each paired with a matching powder-coated frame. These colors highlight the natural grain of the wood, creating a rich, textured look that pairs beautifully with the dark cane. The powder-coated frames, a departure from the original chromed steel, add warmth and a more inviting feel to the S 64, enhancing its appeal in private and public spaces.

The Reishi Extract, often dubbed the 'mushroom of immortality,' is celebrated for its ability to enhance sleep quality and reduce stress, offering a serene escape from the daily grind.

MAGAZIN's Container DS
Elevating Storage to an Art Form

written Sarah Arendts

Venturing into the dynamic realm of furniture design, MAGAZIN's Container DS Collection takes center stage as the editorial gem of 2024.

Personally curated by the tastemakers at LE MILE Magazine, this iconic collection, a result of MAGAZIN's longstanding collaboration with visionary designers, including Kuno Nüssli, reimagines the concept of furniture. Drawing from the robust, industrial charm of maritime containers, the Container DS series, designed by Kuno Nüssli, brings a bold and unique aesthetic to both living and workspaces. It’s a statement piece that transforms any room into a dynamic space for expression and creativity.

The collection, a brainchild of a collaboration between MAGAZIN and some of the most forward-thinking designers of our time, challenges the norms of traditional furniture.

Drawing inspiration from the robust and unyielding aesthetics of maritime containers, the Container DS series is a bold statement in both form and function. This innovative series isn't just about storage; it's about redefining spaces, be it the coziness of a living room or the formality of an office setting. Each piece is a canvas, waiting to be adorned with personal touches, from elegant porcelain to eclectic office supplies.

Each piece is a meticulous blend of design and utility, echoing the textures of folded steel and the sleekness of modern architecture. The doors of the containers, designed with a precision that borders on the obsessive, seamlessly integrate into the unit, embodying a philosophy where design isn't just seen but felt.

The collection's versatility is showcased through its diverse range of models. The classic Container DS resonates with a timeless elegance, a chameleon adapting to and enhancing its surroundings. The flat version reimagines spatial utility, offering a sleek, expansive surface. The Container DS Klein, with its slender silhouette, introduces an element of sophistication, perfect for more intimate spaces. The grandeur of the Container DS Plus stands as a celebration of functional luxury, a testament to MAGAZIN's dedication to design that's both enduring and versatile.

The Container DS series is a narrative in itself, each piece telling its own story, a dialogue between the user and the space. It's about creating a personal relationship with our surroundings, where each item is not just a piece of furniture but a part of our daily lives, an extension of our personal style and ethos.
