Spring 2005 Market Sketchbook: Urban Artifacts

Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 4/1/2005

If it is true that big-city life is an urban jungle, then here's the style that suits to a T. Equal parts primitive and chic, this trend pays homage to distinctive styling and one-of-a-kind statements. Organic materials mix with hand-hammered metals for a hip, downtown-art-gallery vibe, complete with iconic motifs and artifacts gone ultra-sophisticated. Urbane to the last degree, this trend is refreshingly free of attitude and strikes the right-now note of authenticity.


Pacific Rim

's ceramic jug takes on decidedly African tones with coordinating embellishments ($25). eLink 621


Fashioned of iron and stone, the Crazy Weave Pedestals from Zodax express an artistic bent that amps up the style quotient when showcasing artifacts ($144 to $220). eLink 708


Teardrop shaping and hand-painted motifs lend an exotic primitive element to Montaage's ceramic vases ($100 each). eLink 600


Groovystuff

's dining chair begs a closer look with its solid, wood design ($390). eLink 524


Contemporary icons steal the spotlight in these exciting, powerful designs from Thief River Linen ($48 to $130). eLink 683


From Village Court, Jill Rosenwald's giclee prints on canvas hit the right chord of primal and abstract, juiced up with a tart shot of color ($196 each). eLink 594


The sleek geometric design of Flambeau's table lamp turns eclectic with a uniquely aged and weathered metallic finish. eLink 535


Free-form vessels from Toyo exude flowing, organic appeal, enhanced by layering and hammering various metals with a gilded finish ($100 to $200). eLink 676


Tribal style influences the highly detailed, hand-carved rug from Sphinx by Oriental Weavers with an intricate, modern approach ($299, 5×8). eLink 670


A true artifact, the Ammonite Fossil from Added Oomph makes a statement with natural style ($125 to $750). eLink 505
