The opening exhibition is called Glitter & Smoke and is the first
of several installations planned featuring chandeliers from the
Swarovski Crystal Palace collection. Moss has exclusivity on the
collection in California and New York, and is premiering an
extraordinary new light by Georg Baldele, the Vertical Glitterbox.
Moss has installed eighteen of these eight foot high crystal pillars,
in clear, teak or peridot, creating a hanging crystalline garden
surrounding a 1938 Steinway Baby Grand fire-sculpted by young Dutch
designer Maarten Baas. The piano is part of Baas' Where There's Smoke
collection for Moss.
The Perished collection by Dutch designers Studio Job was conceived
as a suite of furniture, including a table, traditional Dutch
'bench', screen, and pedestal, realized in precious hardened tropical
woods, decorated with laser-cut inlays depicting animal skeletons.
Each piece is hand-crafted in Massacar Ebony wood with laser-cut
Bird’s Eye Maple inlays, and the collecdtion includes a plate with
iconic relief imagery in cast bronze.
Banquete chair with Pandas by Brazilian designers Fernando and
Humberto Campana is part of a limited edition of 25, exclusive to
Moss. Numbered and embroidered with the following: "Pandas Chair,
Limited Edition, Campana Bros., No. 05/25, 2007", and is accompanied
by a certificate of authenticity, signed by the Campanas.

Petit Jardin bench by Tord Boontje is a studio work, produced in a
limited edition of 10 pieces. The piece shown, number one, is the

2006." It was first shown in the exhibition "The Forest of Karakusa"

The 606 Universal Shelving System, designed by renowned German
industrial designer Dieter Rams, has been produced continually since
1960. Over the last four decades, thoughtful additions and
improvements, resulting from the extraordinary collaborative
relationship between Dr. Rams and British manufacturer Vitsoe, have
continued to refine this icon of intelligent, rational design.
Clay Furniture by Maarten Baas address the issue of form-giving in
industrial design, revealing, literally, the designer's 'hand' in
this intimate process. Baas's use of the clay-modeling technique,
traditionally employed in rendering the human form from life-study,
magnifies the sculptural quality inherent in all functional objects.
The collection includes dining chairs, side tables, benches, floor
fans and a magnificent dining table.
