A fresh crop of charismatic collections has arrived just in time for high summer. From sinuously shaped ceiling lights to turtle-inspired coffee tables, here are some can’t-miss launches to help you cool off on a summer weekend.
Hudson Valley furniture maker Michael Robbins debuted his turtle-inspired Terrapin line at Upstate Art Weekend. Each in the trio of solid wood tables has a distinct geometric shape and all feature curvy flipper-like legs and hand-stitched-leather-wrapped bodies. The series is available in both coffee and side table sizes and your choice of maple, walnut or white oak.
Michigan-based outdoor furniture brand Woodard rolled out three brand-new collections at Atlanta Market. Along with the clean-lined, aluminum Gather family, newcomers include the boxy, teak-like Beau line and the sleek, all-iron Reed series, which all feature an assortment of seating and side tables.
Industrial design lovers, rejoice! RTO Lighting’s bespoke fixtures are now available to purchase online. Highlights from the Philadelphia-based brand’s material-fueled portfolio include the faceted steel Classic Mirror chandelier, the undulating bent-brass-anchored Cecil adjustable ceiling light, and the Lucille Milk Glass pendant, a circular stunner encased in a spun bronze shade.
Pindler dropped the delightful Heritage collection, an homage to the English countryside. The enchanting series features four fanciful fabric patterns and two complementary trim designs, including the flame-stitched Catherine; the floral-infused Winifred; and Highgrove, an intricately embroidered tape adorned in daisies and tulips.
Robert Marinelli’s Dynamic Dialogue is a love letter to organic forms. The capsule features 11 expressive designs crafted from tactile raw materials such as concrete and white oak, including the angular Boomerang sofa; the hand-carved, snowcapped-mountain-inspired Goyah armchair; and the low-profile Bembe table, which boasts a heavy sandblasted finish and inset storage trays.
McGee & Co. expanded its wildly popular collaboration with Morris & Co. with five new wallpaper designs. In addition to fresh iterations of the iconic Arts and Crafts patterns Chrysanthemum, Blackthorn and Mallow, introductions include the inky blue Wandle and the warm, neutral-hued Snakeshead.
Los Angeles–based Soot Design Studio launched its inaugural furniture collection. The heirloomworthy line offers 10 elegant made-to-order pieces composed of highly touchable natural materials, ranging from a barrel-backed walnut Windsor chair to a chunky mohair-upholstered lounge chair and a kidney-shaped sofa covered in fuzzy wool.
At Casual Market Atlanta, Vanguard Furniture introduced an assortment of fresh designs into its Outdoor Living collection. The sweeping launch spans more than 50 new furnishings made from high-end, water-resistant materials, such as the natural teak Luna seating series, and a weather-safe version of the brand’s modular Nest sectional sofa.
New Zealand–based outdoor brand Lujo released a high-performing hammock named Amalfi. Fashioned from Mokum’s UV-resistant Ostuni fabric with an optional pillow and pad insert, the machine-washable design features an adjustable marine-grade rope and comes in 11 hues, including Citrine, Sienna and Aquamarine.
Abask tapped Los Angeles–based architecture and design firm Studio Shamshiri for a charitable, artisan-driven collaboration. Handmade by Nepalese weavers, the 24-piece collection offers everything from double-faced cashmere blankets to boldly banded bed throws and a medley of ultraplush cushions—and a portion of proceeds for every item sold is donated to Doctors Without Borders.
