Sculptural Intersections from Iacoli & McAllister
Spatial Intersections
We were delighted to come across the furniture and lighting collections from Seatle-based design studio Iacoli & McAllister during the recent Sight Unseen Offsite exhibition in New York.
Iacoli & McAllister are masters at combining simple shapes with bold lines to create sculptural products which frame and define space beautifully. We particularly like the Mociun collection of occasional tables with the seemingly random arrangement of marble tops and metal supports and the Revati lights, an elegant combination of strong metal frames with delicate glass globes. All their products are hand crafted and assembled in the US but they would look marvellous anywhere.

Product Inspiration
Make a strong design statement with bold shapes and geometric arrangements. Try the Element table and the Clay tables from Desalto and the Untitled concrete chair from New Works.
LZF shows how the use of a simple material (wood veneers) can create beautifully sculptural lights, such as the Swirl suspension light. We also like the Escappa ceiling light, hand crafted using mouth-blown glass by Scott Pirie and the Kizu table light from New Works.
Use accessories with striking sculptural shapes to add a touch of design flair. Try the Ooga Booga coat hanger from Moustache, the Axonometry set from Ghidini 1961 and the Belle cake stand from Incipit.
