FURNITURE, LIGHTING, ACCESSORIES & ART

TRANSITIONAL

A partnership of contemporary and traditional furniture, finishes, and fabrics is the hallmark of transitional style.


Straight lines and angles merge with curves to marry masculine and feminine sensibility into a useful and comfortable contemporary design. Accessories are carefully chosen with a minimalist approach to provide a counterpoint to the furniture. Color and fabrics are selected to evoke a clean, crisp atmosphere utilizing texture and contrast to create interest and inspiration.


We have curated a sample of the current vendors that offer the best in the transitional space:

Caracole

  • Dashing and distinctly modern, this architecturally-inspired Decent Proposal bed introduces an updated take on a classic Parsons style. Its dramatic headboard is upholstered in a light-toned performance fabric, richly contrasted by dark chocolate trim.
  • Meet our new crush: Break The Ice. This amazing dining table defines unboring with an open triangular base features three rectangular pillars crafted of crushed crystals encased in clear acrylic.
  • Inspired by the trending use of bold florals in fashion design, the casually elegant Great Expectations dining table features a radiating rosette motif, skillfully crafted from Koto veneers.
  • For a fresh interpretation on a low, modern klismos chair, the silhouette of Reserved Seating takes on dramatic style when you view the wide panel that sets off its back.
  • True to its namesake, the Has It All oval-shaped buffet has it all: beauty, functionality, and a tactile quality that artfully mixes sun-kissed silver raffia with cast reeded glass, dimpled metal, and a white marble top. 
  • The Pitch Perfect sleek track arm sofa is elegantly defined by an exposed wood frame in a richly contrasting, chocolate truffle finish. Finely tailored in a cream basketweave and accented with kidney back pillows for added comfort. 
  • The sleek sloped arm of the Casual Affair chair has a dressmaker skirt that falls open from the top of the arm front. Relaxed, refreshed, and ever so classic.
  • With subtle notes of art nouveau, the exquisite Empire chest celebrates the art of craft and materiality, inspired by iconic jewelry designs of the 20th Century. Door fronts wrapped in a soft silver leaf make an alluring and tactile statement, minimally adorned with nail accents in a nickel finish.

RUG SPOTLIGHT

BENEFITS OF WOOL

Wool rugs have many advantages that make them a top choice for many people. Wool is a natural fiber that is incredibly soft and comfortable to walk on, in addition to being a fantastic insulator. This means it can help keep your space warm in the winter and cool in the summer.


Wool fibers are strong, resilient, and naturally stain-resistant, so they can withstand heavy foot traffic without wearing out quickly. This means your wool rug will continue to look clean and fresh and last for a long time. It’s easier to remove spills and stains from wool rugs compared to other materials, making maintenance a breeze.


Wool rugs offer a luxurious feel, excellent insulation, durability, stain resistance, and a wide variety of styles to choose from. They’re a fantastic investment that enhances the comfort and beauty of your space. So, if you’re looking for a rug that checks all the boxes, wool rugs are beneficial and worth considering!
