Kelly Wearstler’s Pacific collection is a love song to West Coast surf culture. The debut spotlights two new designs, including a dining table and coordinating side chair with surfboardlike legs, plus a pair of existing pieces punctuated by a striated wood-grain motif that mimics the fluid outlines of ocean waves.
Holly Hunt dropped an exclusive collaboration with French multidisciplinary artist Christian Astuguevieille. The line features six hand-illustrated surface designs, among them the toile-inspired Les Villages velvet and complementary Village wallcovering; the painterly, earth-toned Batons wallcovering; the pottery-adorned Inventaire wallcovering; and a couple of graphic hand-knotted rugs named Losange and Algues.
Thayer Design Studio rolled out six beautifully braided rug designs. Customizable for the trade with 27 yarn colors, newcomers include the banded Pinstripe, the architectural Grid Lined, the multitonal Offset Stripe, the monochrome Solid Color, the sleek Twill Weave and the striking Staggered Blocks.
Fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra released the second installment of his wildly popular collaboration with West Elm Kids. The launch introduces dozens of whimsical designs across bedding, lighting and furniture, with day-brighteners including a floral dresser, a mint green fluted bookcase, an upholstered bed with carved wooden feet, and a woven bird-shaped basket.
De Le Cuona’s Natural Rebel series is begging to be touched. The collection boasts 21 versatile designs woven from sumptuous all-natural fibers, such as the ravishingly ribbed Stonewashed Corduroy, the linen-and-wool Hackney Tweed, the heavy-textured Merchant, the subtly flecked Espadrille, and Regatta, a double-width sheer dressed in tactile pinstripes.
Four Hands unleashed more than 400 fresh designs across several categories. In addition to the creamy brown marble Argos console table and the recycled chenille–clad Blaire dining chair, standouts include the canopy-covered Tally outdoor chaise and the monolithic Bato ping-pong table, which sports a solid-wood net that can easily be removed, transforming the piece into a 12-seat dining table.
Sabai unveiled Bacana Outdoor, its inaugural line of eco-friendly, weather-safe furniture. An homage to Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s minimalist Monk chair, the clean-lined collection offers a sofa, love seat, armchair and ottoman composed of biodegradable materials such as thermally modified ashwood and fabric made from banana fiber.
Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s latest fabric line elevates performance textiles to an art form. The collection, called MLB Performance, spans 17 pattern-drenched designs in multiple colorways, with highlights like the celestial Moroccan Star, the tropical Mazari Palm, the dotted Boheme and the cross-stitch-style Boho Basketweave.
Actress Mary-Louise Parker and television producer Nikki Varhely Gillingham launched Parker + Gillingham, an online art gallery and design collective. The shoppable platform offers everything from limited-edition fine art prints to original paintings and home decor pieces crafted by highly collectible, up-and-coming women artists, including Melis Bekler, Iliana Cardona, Nooshin Rostami, Sydney Summers and Nina Weiss.
Erik Lindström’s Dream rug will transform your clients’ floors into a surrealistic focal point. Available in two colorways, earth-toned Sand and grayscale Sky, the handwoven Tibetan wool and fine silk design showcases an asymmetrical maze motif that evokes a mind-bending op art pattern.
