We’re not sure what caught our attention first about these elegant leather armchairs by Leolux – their cool colors or their intertesting shapes. Part of the Sculptures Collection, the Pallone armchair is versatile seating that really conforms to your sense of style through a customizable palette of hues, ranging from simple neutrals to splashy shades. The low-profile seat boasts easygoing comfort, while the gently curved backrest cradles you in the lap of luxury. Finished in leather upholstery, the look and feel is smooth and supple. The optional matching footstool (no less elegant) is an ideal complement, inviting you to put your feet up at the end of the day or to be used as a casual side table.

We were instantly “hooked” by these cool wall hooks by Thelermont Hupton. Each featuring a different hand gesture, this line of hand-shaped hooks says “thumbs up,” “hello,” with a wave, “shake,” “okay,” “up yours,” point, “peace” and “rock on,” all without saying a word! The hooks come in a range of hot hues including black, pink, orange, red or white, cast in composite materials with luscious lacquered finish. Mounted to your walls, these cool hand hooks are a fab functional element and they also make a great artistic addition to a plain wall. Retail price is £90.

If the hand gestures don’t get your message across, throw some kitchen utensils across the room – or just try these utensil-shaped hooks that resemble a saucepan, knife and rolling pin, stuck in the wall in the heat of the moment! Choose from red, black or white. The Saucepan hook retails for £25, the Knife hook is £22 and the Rolling Pin hook is £22.

Make a strong style statement with these bold floor lamps by Viso. Designer Filipe Lisboa created the JUJU and Archie lamps with thoughts of function and an eye toward modern art. We’re not sure what qualities of the JUJU floor lamp caught out attention first – its impressive height, the seductive hourglass-shaped body or the dramatic oversized shade. Regardless, the three elements work together, resulting in a real stand-out object of fashion and function for the home. The high-gloss base comes in black or white, and customizable shades are available. Equally arresting but totally unique in terms of aesthetic, the Archie lamp is an overarching design that screams “style!” – indoors or out. Made of rotational molding, the floor lamp features an illuminated base topped by its main light source, a glowing globe dangling overhead, making a modern addition to your living room sitting area, or the deck.
