Ceramic Furniture by Eny Lee Parker
Terracotta Style
Savannah, Georgia based Korean-Brazilian designer Eny Lee Parker's love for terracotta goes far beyond the odd planter and carafe.
Her furniture and lighting collections, shown most recently at the Sight Unseen Offsite in New York, feature elegant glass-topped tables and sculptural table lights using outsized terracotta pots as bases. These are teamed with green velvet upholstered armchairs and a vanity table with spindly metal legs to create a sumptuous look that feels organic and sculptural in equal measures.

Terrazzo Things from Lick My Brick

Minimal Expressions by Niko Koronis
Detractors of minimalism often decry the cold, impersonal nature of the style. However, when executed intelligently, minimalist designs can be surprisingly expressive. The furniture collections of designer Niko Koronis is a case in point.
