From Detroit-based Sitskie, the Block Bench by designer and craftsman Adam Friedman features a unique design which invites you to not just sit, but sink. The compressed block pieces are surprisingly comfortable and visually attention grabbing.
A decade ago, I.D. magazine published an issue with the question, "What's Wrong With American Furniture Design?", boldly posed on the cover above a chair by NYC-based designer Jason Miller. Fast forward to Stockholm 2018, where Jason Miller's new collection for De La Espada was launched to critical acclaim - proof that progress is being made. And though American designers (and manufacturers) have more work cut out for them, the state of American design is much healthier a decade later, and gaining momentum on the international stage.
Inspired by recent interior trends in his native Brooklyn, Jason Miller designed the Gates Sofa with a feeling of historical luxury. The chic sofa is perfect for a converted brownstone, nestled among original woodwork and an ornate fireplace.
The Discus 3 Pendant is a graphically compelling, modular light from New York City based studio Matter Made. Designed by Jamie Gray, it features rotatable discs which cast a warm diffused light.
California-born designer John Ford is known for modern, sculptural designs like the SW Table. The solid wood dining table achieves a visually light appearance, with unique bowed legs that allow for extra leg room.
The Pyramid Mirror has a delightfully deceptive sense of depth and shape. Bower Studios, from New York City, tend to add a sense of humor to their bold designs.
Also by Bower, the Ring Mirror is both functional and decorative, with a clear center panel and two side panels available in various color combinations.
The Bedrock Plank Table, designed by California-born Terry Dwan, is a beautiful merging of nature and geometry. A solid top of Kauri - millennial wood of New Zealand - sits on a minimal iron sheet base with angled folds.
Self-taught Los Angeles designer Reza Feiz created the Trolley collection for Phase Design. The Trolley Lounge Chair invites you to relax in style, and looks great in a contemporary setting.
