Stelton Cylinda-Line Statement Ice Bucket with Ice Tong by Arne Jacobsen and Paul Smith

Lovers of design classics are in for another treat. Ever since the 1960s, bar accessories from Arne Jacobsen's Cylinda-Line have defined the good life when it comes to serving everything from the perfect martini (shaken or stirred) to a classic scotch and soda. Paul Smith has transformed Jacobsen's bar series into a gorgeous fantasy in black. The special titanium alloy surface lends the steel a rich, deep black colour. Another surprising innovation is a collection of statements by the British designer himself, engraved into the black surface to reveal their message in steel. Paul Smith asks us to consider thoughts such as "Take pleasure seriously" and "Start something new" as we enjoy your drinks.

DESIGNER: Arne Jacobsen and Paul Smith (2010)

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was trained as a bricklayer and graduated from The Technical Society's school in 1924 and Copenhagen Art Academy 1927. In 1928 he received the Academy's gold medal, but prior to this, when only 23, he was awarded a silver medal at the 1925 Paris World Exhibition - the first of numerous honours that became a natural accompaniment to his artistic activities, his untiring search and his brilliant conceptions, made manifest by many successes in competitions at home and abroad. His main works include: town halls in Århus, Søllerød, Rødovre and Glostrup, SAS-building (Royal Hotel) in Copenhagen, Munkegårds School in Gentofte, Toms Chocolate Factory in Ballerup, The Danish National Bank headquarters, a sports hall in Landskrona, St. Catherine's College, Oxford and Hamburgerische Elektrizitätswerke's administration building. In 1932, Arne Jacobsen began collaboration with Fritz Hansens Eft. A/S, and over a period of years designed a series of chairs which are now recognised as milestones in the development of modern furniture. They include "The Ant" (1951), "The Egg" (1957), and "The Swann"(1957). But he was also an innovator in other design fields, such as the tableware series "Cylinda-line" in stainless steel. Arne Jacobsen was a professor at the Art Academy, and received honorary doctorates from a number of foreign universities and academies. Cylinda-line was awarded the ID-prize 1967 by The Danish Society of Industrial Design and The International Design Award 1968 by The American Institute of Interior Designers.

When Paul Smith opened his first fashion boutique in Nottingham at the age of 24, he had no idea that he would become a design icon. In the meantime he has also become Sir Paul Smith and Britain's pre-eminent fashion designer. His collections are easily recognizable due to their multi-coloured stripes, their designs and their details – classic with a twist – no matter whether he is creating clothes, shoes, rugs, furniture or the new Stelton line. Predicts and starts trends. As idiosyncratic as they are traditional, Paul Smith's designs have been referred to as "Savile Row meets Mr. Bean". He has a special ability to predict and start trends, and has created much more than clothes and shoes. He has been so successful that he now has stores all over the world.
