Perfect for an art collector's dream home, function follows form when sculptural influences mix things up with once-stark contemporary designs. Simplistic lines create a clean canvas where details such as sculpted metal, arching curves and puzzle-like shapes meld in refreshing harmony. Colors remain neutral and earthy, leaving the imagination to the design and interpretation of artistic forms. Each piece offers gallery-worthy concepts from the amoeba-like pattern of a table lamp to a chic vase that interprets natural wood as an art form. Together they combine unique components of scale, substance and shape to create a landscape that blends functional design with aesthetic flair.
