Meg Callahan is doing the good work. Her newest quilts, Juno Circle,  Marrow, and Quadrant (featured here) are composed entirely of repurposed materials and mark a shift in her approach to making wherein the construction is dictated by the material at hand. Like many of us, Meg aspired to reduce her eco footprint and turned to the immensity of available deadstock, offcut, vintage, and scrap fabrics.

Says Meg, “This practice of working with scraps or byproducts of other production is the root of many quilting practices and traditions, but funnily enough new territory for me and more difficult than I imagined. Each patchwork pattern is attuned to the size, color, quantity and shape of the scraps as I received them. I am interested in shifting towards working with offcuts as a way to develop non-homogeneous production processes and developing alternative material sourcing practices.”

The designs/patterns of these three quilts are available for commission, but fabrics will change depending on availability of deadstock/scrap.

If you ask us, a daybed is always a sleek inclusion. The inviting ribbed cushion and leather bolster of the EAE Daybed proves this principle, enticing you to laze in unadulterated style. In this flagship piece of Erickson Aesthetic’s Tube and Dowel Frame series, patina’d hardware compliments hardwood, circular to oval legs and tapered corners set in a slender metal frame. Now that’s what we call Becky with the good hair-on-hide. 

Founder and designer Ben Erickson looked to some iconic design forebears, “The piece was initially inspired by ancient Egyptian beds, with the intent to create something even more minimal than the ubiquitous Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Couch. The gray and white brindle hair-on-hide versions with black bolster pillow in particular, are my play on the Corbusier cow print Chaise lounge.”

The Arc/Shift Coffee Table is a piece with magnetism. Its layered top rises out of an underbelly of expertly crafted contours to betray an otherwise monolithic presence. A staple of the Arc series, the table features solid, Bleached Ash of the hardwearing KWH caliber we can be sure of. Custom dimensions and finishes are available (we’d love to see this beauty in Black Walnut!).

The elegant swoop of joinery which defines Scheibe Design’s Roebuck collection exemplifies what we’ve come to love about this studio: their penchant for detail. Says co-founder Nate Scheibe, “The collection began around a unique connection between the legs and top which is carried on throughout.” The father/son team out of Nashville seamlessly blends materials to harmony as seen in the winning combo of laminated leather and bleached Walnut in the Roebuck Nightstand or the restrained pairing of Oak and light bouclé in the Roebuck Bench. The Roebuck dresser, with its distinctly curved facade, debuts this month with the segmented, obround pulls of our dreams.

Vonnegut/Kraft’s iconic Crescent Lounge is a study in balance. Inspired by Ancient Egyptian headrests, the semi-circular bolster support rises above the frame to create a distinctive profile in Oak, Ash, or Walnut. This minimalist piece first launched in 2014, and would come to be a barometer for the studio’s designs moving forward. Katrina Vonnegut, co-creator and founder, noted it was the first piece they really felt they wanted to live with and have in their own home. “It’s still our most popular piece, and I think that’s because it's a timeless framework for many different iterations: upholstery, finishes and even custom sizes. It's the piece that has resonated with the most people, which I think has to do with the sculptural simplicity, the joinery, and playful elegance that can work in any space.”
