Maybe they make you recall your grandparents’ house or a next-door neighbor’s apartment. The collection reminds me of my parents’ bedroom set from the late 70s, which featured the two most prominent shapes used here: the ball and the cone.
A simplified reinterpretation of the heavy wood furniture, Collection 12 still has a weighty physical presence, but with lines unencumbered. Each piece is made using a wooden structure covered in oak cladding, then stained to add the right touch of nostalgic patina. The patterned upholstery chosen for use on both chairs harkens back to a decade when bold, large-scale designs reigned supreme. Fleurance explains: “The overloaded pattern is a nod to the 70s and plays on contrasts with the more primary forms of furniture. We like the idea that furniture can be an actor in our lives which touch us at the intersection of the present and the past.?
