Contemporary Catalog 2017
The objects in this catalogue are a sampling of the compelling contemporary items found online at 1stdibs. Many of the pieces are editions and are available immediately or can be customized to fit any room. Many others can be ordered in multiples to round out a cohesive design scheme. The creators are often artists who trained at top art and design schools and have pieces in major museums. Others are interior designers who have worked on acclaimed public and private spaces and have a deep understanding of how objects animate rooms. Whatever their background, they create works that blur the line between design and sculpture.9
