Curves Ahead
Brooklyn designers are swerving toward curves, inspired by Memphis and Art Deco.
Danielle Trofe Design’s MushLume collection fashions dome and trumpet shaped
pendant lights out of mushrooms. Blue and cream swirl on Abstract wallpaper in
the hue Lucid from Calico Wallpaper. Iridescent globes hang from straight rods
in L&G Studio’s trapeze-like Equalizer light. With bright flecks of color on creamy
wool, the Shapes Tapestry is one of several half-moon-shaped objects, including
rugs and a clutch bag, designed by New York- and India-based Leah Singh. The
rounded Riso Side Table by Umberto Bellardi Ricci is handmade to order in carved
wood or stone on an i-beam base in weathered metal or black.
