Catherine Lisle’s “Calder Moons” is printed on hand-stitched mudcloth sourced from a women’s cooperative in Mali.

This study in balance and simplicity speaks to a modern day sense of art history, connection, compassion and wanderlust.
Designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard was strolling through a Parisian flea market when he spotted a sconce that served as the muse for his Everly Pendant and the entire Everly Collection for Corbett Lighting. With a live finish that ages over time, the brass feels like a discovered, authentic heirloom that is at once utterly modern and truly timeless.
The Los Bench by Bradley is inspired by the the elegance and simplicity of curved geometric forms. Alluding to architectural archways, this stunning piece’s effortless, clean lines give it a dramatic modern edge and sophistication.

Designer Suzanne Kasler’s Marais Stool for Hickory Chair is based off of an archival piece that she discovered in an antique shop. The parchment finish was inspired by the original, but the color palette and leather inset were refined by Suzanne’s exquisite eye for marrying art-like, sculptural forms with a sophisticated use of materials.
The Pyramids Wallpaper by Florence Broadhurst for York Wallcoverings is an archival pattern from the ’70s. Referencing the architectural trends of her time, the textural depth in this geometric creates a modern 3-D illusion that mimics the Brutalist furniture pieces for which Florence was also known.
Named one of House & Home‘s 2018 trends, curved furniture is still going strong. Bernhardt Interiors’ Lumen sofa has a soft kidney-shaped symmetry that’s sophisticated in its simplicity. The floating base adds to the Lumen’s unexpected yet timeless style and refinement.

Referencing the fretwork of Morocco, this three-piece conversation cluster and ottoman, finished in a custom colorway Sunbrella fabric, offers an invitation to experience a globally gathered resort in your own backyard.
In her latest collection for Arteriors, designer Windsor Smith paints a picture of a dreamy, bohemian wonderland. Inspired by her time at Burning Man and the colors of the sand and the desert sky, the sunset-hued patina on the antiqued, spherical Moon Glow Mirror evokes the magic of starlit skies and sun-drenched skin.
The Good Egg Chair, originally designed by Milo Baughman back in 1967 and lovingly brought back to life today by its original manufacturer Thayer Coggin, is perhaps the most aptly named piece of all time. A timeless classic shown in this cozy faux shearling, it is essentially a giant, teddy bear-like invitation to curl up and get happy.
