Celebrating the optimism that warmer seasons evoke, our new
collection looks to the contrasts of life for its cues.
A fusion of art and design, new season pieces embody ferm
LIVING’s core DNA: aesthetic, authentic and distinctive – in
form, material and use. Crafted in elegant silhouettes from high-
quality materials noted for their lasting appeal, wood, metal, glass,
clay and jute have been shaped into inviting designs with supreme
functionality and surprising details.
A meeting of opposites, the utilitarian is set against the decorative
and the restrained meets the imaginative—always in celebration
of the simple, honest materials and the techniques used to make
them. Traditional craftsmanship contrasts modern innovation,
from hand-shaped forms to 3D printing. Voluminous contours are
balanced with clean lines. The classical offsets the contemporary.
Matte contrasts high-gloss. The raw is set against the refined. Soft
meets hard. It is within these contrasts that their enduring appeal lies.
The streamlined silhouettes of our new furniture designs have a
decidedly Scandinavian feel that is juxtaposed with dark wood, an
unconventional pairing that creates a new expression. Their simple
constructions focus on details, comfort and added functionality,
such as the armrests of a sofa that do double duty as shelves or the
plush upholstery and atypical feet of an angular armchair. Mouth-
blown glass sits at the crossroads of art and design, as decorative
items with everyday function. Tactile fabrics invite both practicality
and play, while the shapes and sensibilities of ornamental objects
allow their inherent materiality to shine through.
Easy on the eye and fitting effortlessly into any setting, whether
placed in decadent surroundings or more modest quarters, the
collection heroes the art of craft and the simple pleasures and
myriad moments that life has to offer.
