Sometimes all it takes is a quick furniture swap or an addition of a new home décor piece to instantly refresh an interior.
RH, always known for its chic home furnishing, offers sculptural design that brings forth bold organic forms and stunning silhouettes.
Below are some choice styles from the brand that evoke both a classic and contemporary appeal to elevate any room or space.
Inspired by the sculptural works of Salvador Dalí and Diego Giacometti, the Thaddeus Curved Chair from Julie Lawrence merges the rustic sensibility of a hand-forged metal base with tailored upholstery. Employing an ancient fabrication process, artisans hand hammer the metal bars to reveal an alive, imperfect and organic texture, a counterpoint to the frame’s slender, tapered silhouette.
Inspired by the modernist work of Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa, the Strada Entry Tablemerges sculptural geometric forms with the organic purity of Italian Carrara marble. The dynamic pedestal base is a striking interplay of curving lines, rhythmic pattern and positive and negative space, juxtaposed with an unadorned top. The expression is bold and architectural.
A flowing organic form exudes primal energy in the Brutalist Ribbon Buffet Lamp, a reproduction of a Laurel Lamp Co. original. Embodying a sense of motion, the ribbon of brass loops and curls into an abstract sculpture, a striking presence atop its cube pedestal base.
Sculpted from a solid block of marble, the Ledoux Cocktail Table is a revival of 1930s French modernist forms. The artful double-cube design offers a geometric complement, a play of positive and negative space, light and shadow, air and mass. Its sleek stone surfaces are continuous, their planes joined by curves instead of corners.
Master glass designer Alison Berger has created a dramatic evocation of rain, engaging the viewer in an ever-changing pattern of expansion and compression – much like the rhythm of a rainstorm itself. Suspended from slim black cords, drops of blown glass encase the bulbs – creating the illusion of underwater illumination – and cast luminous ripples that wash across ceilings and walls.
Evoking French Art Deco design, RH’s minimalist interpretation of a 1930s vanity chair has a stunning silhouette. Compact in form, the Reynaux Curve Fabric Side Chair offers considerable comfort with a gently curved back and amply padded seat. Tailored and elegant, the design appears to float atop its upholstered base.
Recalling the distinctive 1930s style of celebrated French designer Jean-Michel Frank, the Lucien Parchment 6 Drawer Dresser marries minimalist silhouettes and luxurious materials. The flowing lines and graceful curves of the waterfall forms are sheathed in hand-pieced parchment, a study in elegant refinement.
