Bent Wood Stool Adorned with Colored Pencil Drawings
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Isabel Rower's bent laminated wood series of lighting and furniture directly interrogates the historically important designs of Alvar Aalto. Rower's furniture and lighting act as 3-dimensional drawings with the artist covering the surface of the wood with abstract forms done in colored pencil. Each piece is unique and hand crafted through a process of bent lamination and carving, after which they are directly drawn on with colored pencil. Isabel Rower received a BFA from t he Rhode Island School of Design. A multidisciplinary artist, she works in ceramic, wood and drawing. Influenced by the onslaught of media we receive daily through our phones and computers, Rower distills this imagery into colors, abstract patterns, and irregular shapes that appear in her work. Her rebellious early works have transformed into a mystical pursuit of meaning through material explorations and experimental practices. Rower has exhibited a solo presentation at Fairfax Dorn Projects...

The Plane by Michael Scheers
Located in Lasne, BE
Michael Scheers is a Belgian visual artist. He was born in 1958. He lives and works in Rixensart (BE). Self-taught, Michael Scheers has been involved in the world of advertising since his early childhood. This world allowed him to demonstrate a great sense of detail from an early age. Michael Scheers' art lies halfway between optical illusion and movement. The discovery of his work is a process of transformation where the angle of vision defines forms and colours. Each geometric composition is a poetic journey where the mastery of colours and the discovery of unexpected configurations surprise, magnetise or question. Michael Scheers truly inhabits the space and interacts with the viewer who becomes a participant in spite of himself. Art in Motion is participatory, dynamic and social. One cannot ignore the parallels between his work and that of Walter Leblanc...

Vintage, New and Antique Painted Furniture

Vintage, new and antique painted furniture enhances a room through patterns, blocks of color and ornamental flourishes. Decorating furniture with paint was especially prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries in the United States when folk artists used chairs, chests, tables and cupboards as their canvases. Although a later trend involved stripping antique pieces of their paint, early American homes were vivid with furniture painted in an array of colors.

The practice of painting furniture has a rich heritage, with remnants of pigment identified on a 12th-century painted chair from Sweden. It has come in and out of fashion over time — in the design of 17th-century Mannerist furniture, paint was lightly used to enhance carved ornamentation, and painted furniture gained popularity with designers working in the chinoiserie style, as 18th-century European artisans mimicked Chinese lacquer in furniture motifs. In France in the 18th century, furniture was lavishly painted or gilded in gold.

Now painted furniture is popular for pieces that are both utilitarian and works of art. A color from a pattern can inform the whole design of a room, or, as bold and saturated tones are in vogue, a vibrantly adorned piece can be a bold focal point. Muted palettes can contribute to an air of calm for a study or bedroom while bright reds, yellows or blues can enliven a dining room or living room.

On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage, new and antique painted furniture to match any space or taste.
