We love this chair. It’s clean lines and soft curves work. It is one of those pieces that could really fit into any setting, with the right fabric application, which is something we see great value in. It’s frame is great, allowing your interior designer to re-upholster it every decade to keep it current…this is a forever kind of chair.
This limited edition cast silicon bronze coffee table by Chista is eye-catching. The piece below could “anchor” any interior. The New York based company’s design “explores the roots of primitivism and modernism, the found and the sculptural.” Their inventory is nothing less than fantastic, and their ability to combine the everyday with surprise has us smiling.

“To the Trade”
Manipulating scale is an interesting concept that interior designers love to engage in. By exaggerating certain elements within a space, a designer or architect can make people take second looks, when they might not have before. It can create a fun, almost whimsical feel, or it can be used to create a feeling of grandeur. The image below is a major exaggeration of scale (but we love it for what it is!). Objects that are clearly too big or too small are great conversation pieces, but beware not to overdo it. They say everything is bigger in Texas…especially in Austin!
Whimsical Scale
This laminated-cherry chair by David Upfill-Brown has us inspired. This elegant piece looks more like wooden sculpture than a piece of furniture, and with good reason: David Upfill-Brown is a wood sculpture, turned furniture maker. The chair’s fluid design and asymmetry add interest, while the gentle curves give this chair a feminine appeal that could compliment most interior spaces.
This elegant sofa by Baker Furniture is a modern-classic that would be a great addition to any fine interior. It’s clean lines and barely-there curves give it a slick look, but take our word for it…it is comfortable. Good interior design should be about comfort, as well as style, and Baker Furniture has the corner on the market in those arenas.
The right upholstery could really make this sofa an eye-catching centerpiece for your living room.
