Update on Classics


Now I'm a big fan of the classics...They're called "classics" for a reason. However, my personal design style is still evolving and striving for definition. Lately, I've been really into mixing classic colors, patterns, and furniture with modern elements and accents.

It's amazing as you sift through furniture and architectural history books how so many different styles have evolved over time. As a young furniture designer, I'm always looking for unique updates on traditional styles. It's all about a balance.

Today as I was surfin', I happened to stumble upon these beautiful storage units by Vivavi. Here they incorporate a modern twist on the traditional inlaid technique.

What's even better?! They are all made with sustainability in mind.
Here are some of my favorites:
"Mod Lodge" Sideboard
(Reclaimed Kerei doors, plywood frame, laminate, and stainless steel legs)
$3,400 list

"Dandelion" Graphic Dresser
$3,995 list

Who says inlays have to be wood?
Think about positive and negative space...

"Hive" Bench/Table
(Recycled steel, zero VOC powdercoat finish, wind & solar powered construction facility)
$1,790 list

Let there be light!

"Bamboo: Glowbox"
(Bamboo ply, Formaldehyde-free adhesives)
$4,000 list

(Pretty slick, huh?!)
