The Playing Games Side Table by Dooq uses essential shapes to play an alluring game of proportion and color which results in the creation of a perfect balance and tension of material and negative space. The absence of figurative shapes allows you to look at this piece from different angles and imagine various things.
Also available is the Playing Games Center Table.
The fundamental principles of sculpture such as orientation, proportion, scale, articulation, and balance, govern the sculptor's approach to their art. Much is true for some designers' work, with the added attribute of practical use. From tables to seating to light fixtures, sculpture-like designs can add an element of playfulness or drama to an interior. Follow the lines and unique forms in these sculptural statements, sure to captivate one's attention.

The Curve Bench is crafted from a single block of solid cedar wood, characterized by the arched shape below the seat surface that enhances the grain and the nuances of the natural material. Any movements, cracks, or changes in the conditions of the wood are essential characteristics of these furnishings and are to be attributed to the natural settling and different environmental conditions. Designed by Brodie Neill for Riva 1920.
Available in three lengths. Also available with optional padded seat.
The Clizia Chair is designed with a cantilevered seat supported by a central stand, a sculpture for sitting on with obvious sculptural, sinuous and flowing lines, seemingly in contrast with the hardness of the stone it is made of. Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Agapecasa.

This Laurent Atelier 01 is poetic simplicity at its best. Inspired by the House of Cards game created by Charles and Ray Eames, its composition is meant to appear playful, like modules piled on top of each other in happenstance. Reminiscent of a children’s mobile, it adds depth and movement to the original nomenclature of the Laurent, thus unfolding its full potential.
The Laurent Atelier 01 is part of the Atelier collection from Lambert & Fils.

“Why can’t light pool, drip, or drape?” asks Alex Josephson, cofounder of Toronto design studio Partisans. One of the answers from the Gweilo (Chinese for ghost) series is the Gweilo Han, a floor lamp with a sculptural form that folds and bends like light rays themselves.
Handmade by Parachilna in Spain, the thermoforming process takes an etched optical-grade acrylic sheet and produces the signature folds and curves while it is molten and still pliable.
