Mark David | Musica | Volume II

Spark is all about the energy that ignites the creative process.

It is a journal of notes not yet played, and melodies not yet written.

It is a celebration not just of the things we find inspiring, but of the magical, mystical process that sets inspirations on fire and turns them into beautiful ideas. Now, we explore the spark that compels us to hum, to sing, to pluck strings, finger keys, bang out rhythms and everything else we do to turn sound into an art form. It defies language barriers. It permeates cultural differences. It even speaks to animals. Music. Musique. Musica. In its many styles, genres and forms, it has the power to make us feel every kind of human emotion and sensation, all of which we celebrate in this issue. Particularly, the sensation of comfort. Welcome to our Musica adventure.

We invite you to play.

Counterpoint Bookshelf Wood Spec – consider a maple in solids and veneers.

Counterpoint is the aural phenomenon that is created when two or three melodic lines converge at the same time. Their energies mingle and mix with each other, reshaping the sounds of the notes. This bookshelf is inspired by this dynamic— combining and contrasting of musical energies, ultimately creating ideal spaces for displaying items with local flavor.

“On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.” ­­ ‑ Hunte r S . Thompson

Create some contrast with a cream lacquer finish with Black Edging.

Maestro Settee When a musician selects an instrument, it is the beginning of a sensual relationship.

Clean, flowing lines. Beech solids and maple veneers.

Cream fabric with a black crackle finish.

The musician is seduced not just by what the instrument can do, but by how it looks and feels. The curves of its contours and the smoothness of its body. The appeal of the materials from which it is crafted. This personal connection inspired our Maestro Settee. With a steam-bent frame made of sustainable hardwood and durable, lush cream fabrics, the Maestro will infuse any space with the spirit of music. And it will hold up over time like a true classic, always right, and endlessly comforting.

“Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.” ­­ ‑ Ludwig van be ethoven

Accent the settee with a drum table using same black crackle.

Our creative inspiration for this edition of Spark is

a muse we have come to call Musica. She plays and sings in our heads, and our ideas instantly start dancing—

circling and swaying until they solidify in the form of

a new vision of furniture.

Music and design. It turns out to be a good combination.
