Pick Up Sticks Chair

The Pick Up Sticks Chair is a charming approach to the lounge chair.

Parison Pendant

Parison Pendant - Resident - Pendants - Black - HORNE

Imperfect perfection is elevated in the Parison Pendant. The handcrafted glass globe features slanted plains and facets along the bottom, adding movement to the otherwise smooth glass. Additionally, in a stroke of genius, the designers introduced black ink to create a tinted option for extra drama and intrigue. These pendants make the perfect kitchen island light or bedside pendant.

Plane Coffee Table

Plane Coffee Table - Resident - Tables - Natural - HORNE

Planks of solid oak at odds bring the concept of the Plane Coffee Table to life. Solid wood is cut and stacked in a gravity-defying balancing act, reminding the users of Jenga or a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece. At the end of the day, the Plane Coffee Table is an enchanting addition to modern living rooms and is the perfect contrast to soft edges and overstuffed cushions.

Phase Wall Sconce

Phase Wall Sconce - Resident - Wall Sconces - Dark Bronze - HORNE

A Resident icon that is instantly recognizable, the Phase Wall Sconce pays homage to the solar and lunar cycles with its soft glow and quarter-moon shape. Create harmony and symmetry in your home by pairing multiple Phase lights together, lining them up along your hallway or grouping them on bathroom, bedroom, or living room walls.

Offset Shelf – Small

Offset Shelf - Large - Resident - Table + Task - Natural - 1 - Tier - HORNE

The Offset series is a playful take on the traditional bookshelf, showcasing clever joinery solutions that place each piece off center – and yet, the whole piece is remarkably balanced. The Offset Shelf is available in multiple sizes and wood finishes so you can create your dream home storage. Our favorite part of the small Offset Shelf is that it makes a wonderful bedside table, too!

Spar Floor Lamp

Spar Floor Lamp - Resident - Floor Lamps - Black with Red Cable - HORNE

A sense of engineering, an appreciation for geometry, and a love for simplicity come together in the Spar Floor Lamp. Instead of letting the cord simply lay or drag behind, the designer stretched it along the arm and stand to complete the form and silhouette. This bold, but simultaneously minimalist floor light look fantastic in reading nooks, living rooms, and offices.

Odin Chair

Odin Chair

Bold and stoic, the Odin Chair masterfully blends Scandinavian chair design aesthetics with Japanese design discipline. The arched back and ergonomically carved seat provide superior comfort while the sharp edges and natural woodgrain movement create a chair worthy of the head of the dining table or the extra seat during a great conversation in the living room.

Pier Chair

Pier Chair - Resident - Chairs - Umber - HORNE

For those who love the basics made beautiful, the Pier Chair is exactly what you need for your home. Cylinders are the foundation of this dining chair forming the legs and backrest support. The smooth, curved edges are continued in the backrest and seat, turning this simple chair in to a masterclass of design. Set the Pier Chair around the dining room table, using the Odin Chair as the accent for the head of the table.

Jiro Swivel Chair

Jiro Swivel Chair - Resident - Chairs - Natural With White Base - HORNE

Designed by John Tree, the Jiro Swivel Chair is Resident’s addition to the modern office. This beautifully constructed chair is minimalist to its core and gorgeously constructed from oak. The T-shape form is a unique take on the traditional chair and the casters make it the perfect desk chair.
