This year, the London Design Festival<\/a> featured some amazing out-of-the-box furniture designs like Ernest foldable stool designed by Craig Ernest Byrne<\/a>, colorful colonial style furniture by\u00a0Squint Limited<\/a>\u00a0and the chair installation by Nendo<\/a>. But one furniture piece which stood out of all was the ‘Arc’ sideboard designed by Marco Sousa for furniture brand Bat Eye<\/a>, owned by Portugal based Emotional Brands<\/a>.<\/p>\n The satinwood sideboard is lacquered in mother-of-pearl and is covered with traditional hand-painted Portuguese tiles whose bas-relief doubles as handles to open the drawers.\u00a0It completely modernised one of Portugal\u2019s most historic decorating motifs. The credenza is set on an iron base inspired by the landmark D Luis I bridge in Porto, which was designed by Th\u00e9ophile Seyrig, a one-time associate of Gustav Eiffel. The ‘Arc’ sideboard<\/a> is priced at Euro 8950.<\/p>\n
