Designers are twirling up, toying with, and otherwise reimagining the status quo when it comes to the latest home furnishings now hitting the market.
THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
Currently featured in the exhibition “Crafted by Nature” at the cutting-edge Radnor showroom on the Upper East Side, artisan Karl Zahn’s Single Parallax table is made from a single piece of metal and captivates from all angles. Talk about a cut above the rest. $20,000 (as shown, in mirrored stainless steel; also available in antiqued or satin bronze).
PORCELAIN BEAUTY
Known for its gorgeous glazed dinnerware, Mud Australia is branching out further with the Flared table lamp, comprising three component parts, including a light source nestled in the base that casts a soft, warm glow. $1,250, available in Blossom (shown), Slate, and Dust.
MORPHING MIRRORS
One could only imagine what Alice might have thought upon peering through these looking glasses, part of Palecek’s new collection of mirrors framed with whitewashed hand-wrapped rope and metal. $1,139 (small), $1,854 (medium), and $2,199 (large).
LIFE IS A TABURET
Included among this month’s launch of new furniture from design powerhouse Fritz Hansen is Cecilie Manz’s Taburet, crafted from beautifully grained wood with seamless joinery. It’s almost too exquisite to sit on. $2,300 (pine, shown) and $2,760 (cherry).
CURVE APPEAL
The latest introduction from Dornbracht’s MEM line of fittings is this shimmery brass and 22kt-gold kitchen faucet, from which water flows in a natural spring–like stream. Priced from $3,100 and available in several finishes (including Champagne, shown).
PLANE TRUTH
Objet d’art? Cocktail table conversation piece? Funky desktop catchall? Multimedia artist David Hall’s 1966 painted aluminum piece Duo III is all that and more. $3,600, at Jetsam Studio.
ROMANCING THE STONE
Brooklyn-based Fort Standard’s Tombstone chair is the essence of pure materiality, just three intersecting planes of blue Bahia granite that make an eye-catching perch or bedside table. Priced from $3,600.
