Arthur Umanoff Serving Tray

Set of Cleo Baldon Stools

Edward Wormley for Dunbar 4799 Square Mirror

Hans Wegner Royal Blue Rocker

Wood

One of the great things about classic modern furniture is the patina their wood accrues over years of love and usage. Simultaneously hearty and rustic, wood plays nicely in any interior looking to add a touch of natural to its design.

Arthur Umanoff is known for his wrought iron, delicate wood constructions. This serving tray displays his unique sensibilities with wood. Made of Taverneau wood with reed handles, it is a simple and elegant accent to freshen up your living room or nightstand.

The Cleo Baldon Stools combine rich leather, metal, and wood for an angular barstool with a little bit of personality.

This Edward Wormley Mirror designed for Dunbar features thick glass with a mahogany frame, all parts are original from its production in the 1950s. Wood simply does not grow like this anymore, making this a one of a kind addition to your home.

Not all wood has to be brown though, our blue Hans Wegner Rocking Chair has a stained finish, allowing the original wood grain to show through while still having a vibrant tone to add contrast to your interior. 

Natural and Woven Fibers

Organic fibers like linen or wool can add a bit of soft texture and color without overpowering a piece of furniture. Fabrics can have a vintage possibly historical feel, or be crisp clean and revive an interior with contemporary texture and color. This set of 4 chairs designed by Eva + Niles Koppel are an excellent melding of fabric and wood. 

This sofa designed by Grete Jalk for France + Daverkosen has been reupholstered in a Charcoal Grey Maharam Wool Felt for a modern, yet natural touch. The neutral tone can act as a ballast for the rest of the color story in your room while helping the natural beauty of the sofa's wooden frame shine.

These Chinese Mail Bags can lend a bit of refinement to your home's collection, signaling a connection between the eastern and western hemispheres with their French text. A beautifully preserved artifact with a strong history.

These Adrian Pearsall Wingback Chairs with Ottomans are one of our favorites. Reupholstered in fine linen, these historic pieces are one of Pearsall's best and stand up to the angular, sharp construction of contemporary furniture. Balancing its colors with a dark wooden frame and creamy fabric, this timeless furniture is a true collector's item.

Power Shoulder

You Are Here

"Listening Bird"

"Loosely Patterned After Black Lattice"

ART

Ceramic, metal, or paintings can also lend themselves to naturalistic environments. Unlimited by the constraints of furniture, artworks can accent and round out the overall feeling of your interior.

Works like Power Shoulder by Ruth Azuiss Migdal take a powerful, earthy form abstracted from the body.

Amanda Gentry's You Are Here takes more austere form, yet maintains the careful handmade qualities of ceramics.

William Eckhardt Kohler's Listening Bird is a vibrant rendering of idyllic fields. One part fantasy and one part nature.

Loosely Painted After: Black Lattice is Lynn Basa's investigation into decaying forms. A vaguely rusty or wooden section meets against organic black and cream forms. With an eye for foreground and background interplay, this simple abstraction is quiet enough to compliment rooms but elegant enough to capture your gaze.

THE OVERGROWTH ON THE BANK BY SLATER SOUSLEY

The Overgrowth on the Bank displays Sousley’s skill of capturing light and creating movement in his work. Effortless brushstrokes and immaculate color choice compose mesmerizing scenes. Despite the movement, he manages a calmness and depth to his work that is unique. Leading a practice that translates sight to canvas, Sousley rarely sketches out his compositions before diving into the paint. Together these methods produce paintings of lush, impressionistic brushstrokes that reveal his cultivated intuition.

MOURO BY TOM JUDD

Focusing on the moment when architects were designing and building towards their visions of the future, Tom Judd’s paintings capture the uncompromising beauty of the grid. Harsh edges are greeted by curvaceous greenery. The solid surfaces of these buildings accept subtle hues of shade and light dictated by their adjacent walls or minimal roofs. The intricacies of these buildings are carefully rendered by Judd capturing a combination of their utopian elegance and bygone glory.

FURNITURE SET BY JENS RISOM FOR KNOLL

Risom initially used parachute webbing as a creative workaround during wartime material restrictions. This webbed design was the first of its kind, starting a revolution in how chairs could be made. By taking this strong webbing, bleaching it down to a neutral tone, then wrapping it around the chair’s frame; Risom innovated a way of creating long-lasting, attractive furniture from limited materials. In their original condition, this rare set of lounge and chaise lounge chairs with side tables is perfect for a collector seeking the authentic craftsmanship of these iconic pieces.

LURCH BY BAILEY FONTAINE

With a focus on its production, Bailey Fontaine designed Lurch as a different approach to the floor lamp. Lurch evokes the glow of hot glass while it is being blown, and the precarity of glassblowing itself, requiring balance at each point to make the glass come out correctly. Made from hand blown glass and brass, Lurch has a custom electrical cord which gives it an midcentury feel with a contemporary edge.
 

SET OF NORMAN CHERNER FOR PLYCRAFT DINING CHAIRS

Norman Cherner is known for utilizing postwar innovations in technology to design wooden furniture previously impossible. However, Cherner was not alone in the bentwood era. Ray and Charles Eames, George Nelson, and others were producing bentwood furniture of their own. Most designs, however, were fragile or relied on metal support structures to take the strain of a sitter’s weight. Cherner’s design stands out for its durability and elegance. Reupholstered in italian cowhide, these chairs offer a firm seat with a satiny feel. 

TIME BY CAMILLA TAYLOR

Camilla Taylor’s triptych entitled Time references both its accumulation of material and the process of making. Using offcuts of other works, Taylor adhered these pieces of paper in layers, much like the scales of fish. Her arrangement of color creates the illusion of a receding picture plane. This underscores the idea of objects receding from us in time. Featuring a subdued texture and color palette, Time is an artwork that would fit perfectly in most homes.

SET OF ADRIAN PEARSALL WINGBACK CHAIRS + OTTOMANS

The history of the wingback chair goes back at least as far as the 17th century. Its original purpose was to keep out the drafts of cold air while sitting by the fire. Since then, it has come a long way, and because of its unusual shape, many designers have used it as a chance to elaborate on their distinct forms. This Model 2231-C Wingback Chair with ottomans is no exception. Pearsall’s Atomic Age shapes beautifully compliment the wingback format. His fusion of traditional woodworking with dynamic lines created a timeless piece of American furniture that would look good in nearly any home.

NIELS BENDTSEN COFFEE TABLE

Niels Bendtsen is a Danish-Canadian designer whose education traces back to Jacob Kjær, the designer of the FN chair used at the United Nations. Niels Bendtsen’s father studied directly with Kjær, while Niels apprenticed in his father’s cabinet making shop. Although Bendtsen’s design focuses much more on using metal and glass, it is easy to see the Danish tradition in his pieces. Tight curves accentuate a restrained, minimal design. Because he can rely on the strength of the materials, the table itself has thin, reduced parts that create an elegant structure that both frames and supports the piece. This table has been refinished in a vibrant fuschia that accentuates its futuristic character.  

TUMBLEWEED BY MAURA SEGAL

Maura Segal is an artist working out of Los Angeles, California. Drawing inspiration from the contrasting natural and developed landscapes, she paints canvases that articulate these unions. The layers of Segal’s paintings are most telling, featuring a bed of hand cut pieces of paper that get painted over. These subtly collaged pieces are scattered like stray plants in the desert. Segal then paints squares and rectangles of various sizes to further cut up or distribute the field. On some of her paintings, layers of thinly cut paper are attached that mimic the flight of a bee as much as a network of highways and roads. These processes confuse the notions of natural and developed through their depiction of shapes. In doing so, Maura Segal has found a unique way to tap into her environment and unravel the strangeness of it.
