KYOTO TABLE Poltrona Frau revisits the iconic Kyoto table designed by Gianfranco Frattini in 1974. The elegance of Japanese design blends with the rich and tactile qualities of solid wood. The table is crafted with precision dovetail joints, making the craft part of the decorative appeal. poltronafrau.com

CLUB CHAIR Taylor Forrest designs and produces his furniture in New York. The Club Chair is crafted with vegetable-tanned saddle leather. The sling is fixed to a solid metal frame with an oversized saddle-stitch. Hammered brass rivets on the armrests add contrast while keeping the leather in place. taylorforrest.com

HYALINE I RUG Bec Brittain’s Taxonomy collaboration with Edward Fields continues with designs based on the structures and functions of the natural world. Hyaline I mimcs the patterns of insect wings writ large. Brittain continues to re-contextualize the science of taxonomy, not as a limiting or separating force, but as a means of revelation. edwardfields.com
