Decades of design
Thom Dalmas and Bretaigne Walliser founded the design studio TBo with a taste for “unusual compositions” and a knack for creating the “extraordinary out of ordinary things.” Their kind of challenge? Turning a 1974 home – complete with an ’80s addition – into a cohesive space befitting life with two children. They framed the views, shaped the home with light, and preserved the character of decades-old Saltillo tile and Douglas fir. Here, our new arrivals, a mix of eras and silhouettes themselves, settle into frame as if they’d always been there.
Material difference
Tangent Dining Table
Danish designer Anne Boysen wanted to create a table where rounded forms draw people closer together – not push them apart. Precise geometry informed her approach: a tabletop shaped by tangential arcs that make for close-knit gathering.
Hule Dresser
“We wanted the daily rituals of the bedroom to be met with warmth,” notes Norm Architects, whose Hule Dresser evokes a sense of softness with leather drawer fronts that complement richly grained wood.
Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman
There are many ways to combine leather and wood but none so iconic as the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. Charles and Ray Eames’ vision for relaxation – cradling cushions nestled in wood veneer shells – has been “a special refuge from the strains of modern living” for 70 years and counting.
Hule Bed
For Norm Architects, quiet details speak volumes. They turned to “deeply tactile” materials – from softly padded upholstery to leather drawer fronts – to create a bed that helps absorb sound in pursuit of a calm environment. Its hinged side panels can be drawn inward to create a sense of shelter.
Like a full moon
Jasper Morrison – a master of making the familiar feel new – turns the idea on its head with the Superloon Floor Lamp. Here, he takes Edge Lighting, which sends light sideways through a flat disc, and gives it a familiar form: a softly glowing moon. Unlike its celestial inspiration, Superloon’s disc pivots to direct light exactly where you want it.
Table talk
A curlicue handle. An unexpected flourish. A detail that deserves a second look. Sophie Lou Jacobsen adds delight to the everyday with charming tableware crafted from durable borosilicate glass. Her new Belle Époque-style shapes nod to the elegance of European continental breakfast spreads.
