Brutus Stool
Effortlessly adopting the stoic nature of brutalist architecture, the Brutus Stool has a simple grace mixed in with its bold angles and textured surfaces. All right angles mixed with column aesthetics, the Brutus Stool features intersecting legs, a curving seat, and uses the lightweight fiber concrete so it can easily be moved anywhere it’s needed. Pair the Brutus Stool with the Brutus Lounge Chair in the living room or with the Brutus Dining Chair at the table.
Cross Stool
Minimalistic, yet expressive, the Cross Stool is a bold and sculptural homage to ancient pillars. The Cross Stool’s simple presence is balanced by its unique use of geometric shapes, contrasting clean, intersecting lines with smooth curves. The Cross Stool is crafted from Indian marble meaning each piece shows the natural variation in the stone, giving every Cross Stool a unique personality. Use the Cross Stool beside beds or between lounge chairs as a side table, or simply as a piece of art.
Kamodo Chair
In a brilliant blend of Japanese aesthetics and brutalist architectural style, the Kamodo Chair is styled after a traditional Japanese oven that was formed from clay and had air vents dug directly beneath it which gave the impression it had multiple feet. Cast in fiber concrete, the Kamodo Chair bold presence is matched by its lightweight nature. Each Kamodo Chair is hand painted making each surface uniquely textured.
Bow Console
Reminiscent of the pillared archways of ancient Rome, the Bow Console table is architectural creativity reinvented to accommodate the everyday lifestyle and movements of the home. Tall and leggy, the Bow Console uses its spidery silhouette, textured surface, and arched negative spaces to create an expressive, artistic masterpiece of concrete engineering. Use the Bow Bench in entryways, hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, and on patios.
Big Foot Side Table
Contemporary and sculptural, the Big Foot Side Table takes the brutalist style and adds thoughtful texture and artistic form. The large, cylindrical legs and rounded tabletop are bold, making it the stand-out piece in minimalist spaces. Place the Big Foot Side Table in the hallway, between lounge chairs, beside your bed, or in your office for an expressive conversation starter.
Crown Table
Contemporary and sculptural, the Crown Table takes the brutalist style and adds thoughtful texture and artistic form. The large, cylindrical legs are crowned by a circular tabletop creating a bold, yet balanced look. Available in two heights, the Crown Table can be placed in the hallway, between lounge chairs, in front of the sofa, or in your office for an expressive conversation starter.
Hako Coffee Table
A brilliant combination of elegant materials, the Hako Coffee Table uses metal, ash, and bamboo mesh to create the perfect living room statement piece and functional coffee table solution. The Hako Coffee Table is distinctly modern with its tapering metal legs, French weave tabletop, ash wood elements, and graceful presence. Available in both high and low heights, the Hako Coffee Table pairs perfectly with the other Hako pieces to create cohesive and atmospheric living spaces.
Pillar Coffee Table
Both bold and sophisticated, the Pillar Coffee Table is the perfect concurrence of the delicate and the robust as it balances a thin tabletop with a large, cylindrical base. Created using plated metal, the Pillar Coffee Table has smooth, elegant surfaces and comes in two finishes.
Sculpt Stool
Every angle of the Sculpt Stool reveals something new. A-symmetrical in its design, the Sculpt Stool has a unique and refreshing movement to it that perfectly balances its otherwise bold and brutalist aesthetic. Use the Sculpt Stool as extra seating in the living room, as a plinth for decorations, or as a side table.
Phantom Coffee Table
The Phantom Coffee Table is both sophisticated and honest in its straightforward expression and minimal detail. Its spindly legs and concave tabletop give the Phantom Coffee Table its name, while the handmade aesthetics and the dynamic, warm color of the unpolished cast iron give it a rough-hewn personality. Place the Phantom Coffee Table beside chairs or beds, or use it to display decorations in hallways and entryways.
Podium
The simplicity of Podium is what makes it such a dramatic and dynamic piece. A straightforward cube of fiber concrete is decorated with a carved relief design giving it depth and character. Available in three sizes, the Podium can be used as a side table, plinth, or sculptural decoration.
Big Foot Bench – Sheepskin
An ethereal adaptation of the classic Big Foot Bench, the Sheepskin Big Foot Bench features two of the signature cylindrical legs and a wide seat all covered soft sheepskin. Maintaining some of the brutalist architecture form and sculptural expression, the Sheepskin Big Foot Bench is perfect as a window seat, hallway bench, extra seating in the living room, or at the end of the bed.
