Modern icons are showing up in gracefully layered dining nooks, living rooms and lounges — proof that great design only gets better with context.
You know the designs, now get the stories about how they came to be.
From his massive collaborative workshop in a former paper factory, the designer concocts funky furniture from disused materials, as well as luxe hotel interiors like the new Mix Brussels.
What happens when you do something to a piece of furniture that you shouldn’t? It becomes an entirely new object.
What at first glance seems an unusual choice jibes perfectly with the designer's aesthetic.
If anyone is brave, humble and adept enough to recolor these mid-century masterpieces, it’s Ilse Crawford. Here, she gives us the details on her five earthy paint choices and tells us how she feels about design collaborations.
Want to update an old chair that still has good bones? We spoke to experts to find out how they approach reupholstering antique furniture.
A field guide for anyone who wants to brush up on their knowledge of French antiques
