Spec Sheet: Vonnegut/ Kraft Mairea Mirror

The Mairea Mirror by Vonnegut/Kraft takes its name from Alvar Aalto’s iconic Villa Mairea in Western Finland. Aalto’s lengthy career spanned 6 decades and multiple mediums. Along with his wife Aino, Aalto took a holistic approach to his projects, designing his own furniture and even glassware to fill his interiors. The curves of the pool and sunken serpentine wall of the villa are echoed here in the Mairea Mirror.  Its organic form and lustrous Sapele frame imbue this piece with a sense of motion further emphasized by systematic grooves in the hardwood.

Spec Sheet: Alexis & Ginger Side Table Series

Ginger Gordon and Alexis Tingey, founders of Alexis & Ginger, suffused their Ode Collection with foregone moments, embedding a reverence for history in their thoroughly modern designs. The silhouette of the New Morning Side Table is inspired by the motion of detailed stitching and features an optional Mother of Pearl inlay on striking India Ink dyed Ash. Designed with the same architectural base as the New Morning Side Table, a domed upholstered seat tops the Because the Night Stool. The trio is completed by the Draped Side Table with its meticulously hand-carved waves impressively invoking the curves of falling fabric.

Spec Sheet: The Meridian Collection

The definitive craftsmanship we’ve come to expect from the team at Allied Maker shines as they launch the instantly iconic Meridian Collection. A soft glow emanates from the distinctive bulbs of both the sleek and rectilinear Meridian Sconce and Meridian Flush Mount. We love the option to wall or ceiling mount allowing for a tailored and stylish distribution of light. 

Ryden and Lanette Rizzo, principals at Allied Maker say: “The Meridian Collection introduces a new glass shape and features ribbed machined brass, culminating in fixtures that exude a modern yet traditional aesthetic.”

To The Source

The Knockoff Show tasked designers to identify a source of inspiration from the past (see below) and create an entirely new piece of work (see above)...

bec brittain

Lindsey Adams takes inspiration from Lindsey Adelman’s Branching Bubble, a ubiquitous design that has a personal link for Bec Brittain who left Adelman’s studio to form her solo practice twelve years ago. Named after Lindsey’s maiden name “Adams”, the piece exhibited is just as much a knockoff as it is an homage to Brittain’s past and early career in the lighting industry. Alongside Branching Bubble, Brittain also drew from a project she began back in 2013, where she created freeform shapes with lines of SHY bulbs. 

“Both Lindsey and I rely heavily on "systems" of parts that can be put together in a countless number of ways.  This knock off is substituting my kit of parts for hers, making analogies along the way. Her lines are tubes, my lines are the light bulbs. Her bulbs are globes, mine are the double diamond FKA Themis shapes.”

- Bec Brittain

KWH FURNITURE

The Bend/Arc Desk by KWH Furniture finds inspiration in an unlikely source, a trash can. Kai-wei Hsu came upon this particular trash can, made by Bottega Ghianda and designed by Emanuela Frattini Magnussion, back in 2016. Made up of multiple bent laminate verticals joined together at the corners for strength, each spoke of the Bend/Arc Desk is a singular component in its complex form.

Grain

Grain’s Off Grid Credenza takes inspiration from the distinctive checkerboard pattern and functional pivot hinge of a Door for an Inner Room made in the late 19th century by an unnamed Baule artist in what is now the Ivory Coast. Found within the pages of African Art in the Barnes Foundation, it was not the beautifully carved bird, crocodile and mask motifs on the front of the door that drew designers Chelsea and James Minola in, but instead the tactility of the imperfect check pattern on the door’s rear. With the check pattern originating as far back as 10,000 BC as a by-product of the textile weaving process, the Off-Grid Credenza shows reverence for its rich history and inspiration while still creating a functional piece of furniture for contemporary interiors.

“We know that the work that we make is never just ours. We know this first and foremost because we have always worked in partnership with each other, our employees and even the expertise of our vendors. We know this because we often can’t remember where something started or whose idea initiated the conversation. It is always a result of our collective lived experience and often it is hard to pull apart where inspiration stops and origination begins.”

- Chelsea Minola

Spec Sheet: Cove/Arc Credenza by KWH

Featuring a concave arc detail that extends around the entire profile much like a subtle track, the Cove/Arc Credenza by KWH is designed to be admired up close. In exposing the signature end grain detailing, the arc detail adds more than just a visual flourish, it elegantly highlights the piece's intricate construction. 

Composed entirely of solid hardwood with concealed concave pulls, the Cove/Arc Credenza is available in an orientation of either four doors, six drawers or a customizable combination of both.

We have a walnut drawer version on view at Colony, so hit the inquire button if you'll be in the neighborhood.

Spec Sheet: Bole Dining Table

Here at Colony, we love a little botany in our nomenclature. Taking cues from Naive painter Henri Rousseau, the Bole Dining Table from the team at Vonnegut/Kraft, derives its name from its very provenance: the trunk of the Sapele tree.

Abundance radiates from this piece with its root flare inspiration reflected in the curvature of its repetitive oversized reeded base.

Design so strong, accessories optional.

After Mary Oliver

SONG FOR AUTUMN

Mary Oliver - 2005-

Don’t you imagine the leaves dream now
how comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of the air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees, especially those with
mossy hollows, are beginning to look for

the fires that will come—six, a dozen—to sleep
inside their bodies? And don’t you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
stiffens and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its long blue shadows. The wind wags
its many tails. And in the evening
the piled firewood shifts a little,
longing to be on its way.
