Helle Mardahl Studio operates at the intersection of art and functionality to create a dreamy universe of richly coloured glass designs of eccentric deviance. A graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins, Helle Mardahl is an artist and designer whose work is marked by a sense of lavishness and extravagance combined with a sense of flamboyance. As a designer, Helle Mardahl is concerned with the beauty of contrasts. Her richly coloured glass designs are alive and natural, fragile yet robust, simple yet ornate.

Helle Mardahl Studio takes inspiration from the bright, blocky worlds of Candy Crush and Tetris—where symmetry, colour and repetition create something unexpectedly hypnotic. The result is an installation of mouth–blown glass lights that play with geometry, stacking and the pure joy of pattern. Each piece is a move in the game. Bold shapes lock together, colours pop, and a world of odd dimensions, reflections and light unfolds. Come and play.

Phantom Objects is a Belgian brand founded by Frederik Delbart with John Ghekiere, exploring form, material, and presence. At the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation, it creates limited–edition pepper mills, containers, and tabletop objects that transcend function to become sculptural pieces. Rooted in an architectural sensibility, each object balances proportion, restraint, and material depth. Crafted by skilled artisans, they reveal subtle traces of time and touch, where precision meets patina. Driven by sensorial timelessness, each piece is made to be used, evolving with memory and becoming personal: an intimate, enduring presence in the home.
