Throughout history, American design has had an undeniable impact on style all over the world—and today, designers from varying regions and different generations continue to create interesting pieces, many of which are influenced by the country’s natural landscape and cultural history. This week, we’re sharing five designs by American designers to showcase the innovation and influence found in the United States’ design history and community.

BRUTUS
BassamFellows

Bassamfellows’ designs are truly in a league of their own. The Brutus chair perfectly exhibits the beauty and depth of solid wood furniture, thoughtfully and intentionally emphasizing certain sculptural elements, while incorporating familiar design concepts with an organic and elevated edge. The Vienna caning of the chair’s seat creates contrasting texture and pattern, adding a new dimension to an already dynamic design. Available with or without armrests.

POLLOCK BOWL
Dan Pollock

Dan Pollock’s bowls are each one-of-a-kind, allowing for endless possibilities and originality from one piece to the next. Because no two pieces are exactly alike, this sculptural design in your home will inherit a sense of personalization through the knowledge that yours is simply unlike any other. The bowls offer a masterful balance between rustic and modern, which allow them to be placed throughout the home in rooms of varying styles without ever appearing out of place.

WOVEN RUSH BENCH
Smilow Design

The Woven Rush Bench is the epitome of a classic, timeless design, and a testament to the work of beloved New York designer, Mel Smilow. The solid wooden bench features a handwoven rush seat, which offers an inviting texture that appeals to the senses, both sight and touch. Like all Smilow designs, the Rush Bench is made with the finest craftsmanship and impeccable attention to detail to ensure that each piece exhibits extraordinary quality. The Woven Rush series also includes a dining chair, armchair, lounge, stool, and ottoman, allowing for a fantastic degree of continuity and consistency throughout your space if desired.

WALL MIRROR
Paul McCobb

Mirrors are already quite functional by nature, but iconic American designer Paul McCobb added an entirely new dimension by adding a stylish array of shelves to his timeless Wall Mirror. Slim enough to avoid taking up too much wall space, but striking enough to be noticed, the Wall Mirror is a wonderful display of the designers’ ingenuity and creativity. Shelves in White Carrara marble.

ASYMMETRIC SOFA
BassamFellows

Yet another magnificent design by our friends at BassamFellows, the Asymmetric Sofa is a design that looks elegant and current in virtually any space. Perfectly proportioned and delightfully contemporary, the Asymmetric Sofa exudes a timeless sense of style, while also remaining profoundly comfortable, in part due to the cushioned interior which uses gel memory foam. Whether placed in a lounge, guest room, sun room, or elsewhere, the Asymmetric Sofa is sure to elevate any space.
