OUTSIDE IN

We’ve rounded up a few furnishings of natural materials and motifs to bring all the joy and happiness of being outside, inside.

ABOVE: What began as a question from designer Andrés Reisinger—What would be the softest place on earth to lay your head to rest?—has become the Hortensia Armchair, designed by Reisinger and Júlia Esqué. With more than 30,000 fabric petals covering its frame, the Hortensia is as beautiful as its floral namesake, moooi.com. BELOW: Koishi coffee tables, by Jean-Marie Massaud, are sculptural, yet minimal. Made of metal with tops in ebony stone, marble, reflective glass, or wood. Available at Poliform, Chicago, poliform.com.

Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s interpretation of the natural beauty of flowers—and her method of symbolically abstracting forms to represent the softness and depth of femininity—Vancouver designer Brent Comber created Floret, a hand-sculpted tree base that can be hung on a wall or placed on a table, brentcomber.com.

FROM LEFT: HAY’s PAO Glass Lamp, designed in collaboration with Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, encapsulates the same atmospheric warmth and friendliness of traditional illuminated Mongolian Pao tents, hay.dk. Where whimsy meets luxury: The Yumi rug with koi-pond design is hand-tufted in 100-percent vegetable silk, roche-bobois.com. The Core Series, a debut collection from Radnor founder Susan Clark, was inspired by the practice of taking core samples to study the layers and history of materials beneath the earth’s surface. Made from solid Breccia Stazzema marble, the limited-edition tables’ distinctive patterns result from eons of pressure and temperature changes that initiated a metamorphosis in the stone, radnor.co. Taking cues from Greek columns and Roman architecture, the Epic Dining Table by GamFratesi features two monolithic columns with an elliptical top made in Italy from white travertine, GUBI.com.
