Sculptural forms, defined angles, organic curves — it's all in there. Earthy, yet sublimely sophisticated, the season's newest looks boast rugged good looks in shades derived from nature.
Available in more than 25 finishes, Tritter Feefer's Ryan Side table intersects two trapezoids to create a distinctive base ($700).
Antique resurfaces as modern in Clayton Oxford's contemporary floor mirror, made from century-old mahogany beams and mirror-polished stainless steel ($1,185 to $1,475).
Artisan-style bands wrap a set of three glazed ceramic vases from Howard Elliott, infusing a tart pop of vibrancy ($146, set of three).
Tangy overtones cut the sweetness of lush hydrangeas in New Growth Designs' hand-assembled arrangement, free-flowing from a glass bucket vase ($568).
The Phillips Collection threads thick glass through stylized sections of responsibly harvested teak in Clamp'd, which uses no screws in the design.
From Safavieh Couture, Thomas O'Brien proves that a leopard can change its spots in this reworked animal print, where the markings are spaced in a trellis for a batik-like effect ($2,595, 6×9).
Roma's low-slung table highlights the harmonious balance between form and function with a bold crisscross stainless base and walnut veneer top ($3,000).
Pure elegance meets upscale rustic in the fur-enveloped Caribou lounge and the walnut Beam sectional from Shimna ($4,150, lounge; $9,400, sectional).
A modified gourd form lends a sculptural quality to Uttermost's Belfast lamp, accentuated by crackled porcelain finish and linen shade ($297).
