Cool To Touch
In contrast to the August heat, we’re finding ourselves transfixed on thoughts of escaping with cooler materials, such as stone, metal, and glass. These materials evoke a mindset of the seasons and senses to come—white marble reminiscent of snow-capped mountains or glass that stirs memories of the mirrored surface of a crystal-blue lake. When integrated into a table design, they deliver a crisp, polished feel that marries functionality with aesthetics. This week, we're highlighting five captivating table designs which feature materials that are irresistibly cool to the touch.
Creature Comforts
Throughout the ages, both mythological and real creatures have left paw prints on the world of art and design, injecting a source of wild inspiration into creative designs. Animals represent cultural values, regional characteristics, and the beauty of nature, so it’s no surprise that designers often reference them in their work. While some designs include clear references to their animal namesakes, others are more symbolic. No matter the approach, animal influences bring a touch of the wild into our domesticated interior worlds. This week, we’re highlighting five designs from our collection that draw you in with their animal magnetism.

Magnificent Metals
Humans have been enamoured with metallurgy since the Bronze Age. In much more recent history, metal has taken center stage in furniture design. Sleek and versatile, metal’s unique qualities provide designers with a range of avenues—whether used to add an industrial edge or futuristic essence, metal can elevate designs in ways that feel exciting, while also offering strength and durability.

Whether utilized as a perch at the kitchen counter or as a comfortable spot to sip spirits with friends at the hotel bar, stools are objects of both purpose and beauty.

The Look Of Lacquer
The lacquering technique has been in use since antiquity. Traditionally, lacquer was made from the resin of trees. With modern techniques, lacquer is a range of clear or pigmented coatings that dry to produce a hard, durable finish. After a renaissance during the Art Deco period, lacquer has remained en vogue ever since. Finishes range from ultra matte to high gloss, and are available in the full spectrum of color. This week, we’re highlighting five luxurious lacquered designs to add shine to your space.
Evocative
There is something exciting about an expressive design that pushes the envelope. Through innovative use of color, material, geometry, and construction, many of our most beloved designers created a name for themselves through designs that seem to speak their own language. This week, we’re highlighting five evocative designs to add impact and emotion—and maybe a tasteful touch of drama—to your space.
Poured In Place
Beautiful designs become more powerful when understanding some of the processes required to bring them to life. While we often visualize materials being carved, constructed, and assembled, some of our favorite designs come from materials that are poured and molded. From concrete to resin to terrazzo, this week we’re showcasing five of our favorite designs that utilize poured materials to create dynamic additions to our spaces.
