WE NEVER THOUGHT WE’D QUOTE MS. HILTON, but these tables and benches are seriously hot. Nature is the lead designer here, as years of untamed growth are corralled into functional furniture pieces–barely. Jagged corners (sanded for safety but still sharp) and the turbulent flow of wood grain give each piece a primal energy that simply can not be manufactured. Composed of claro/solid walnut and available at Hudson Furniture with custom sizes and pricing.

ENDLESSLY HARPING about organic meets modern design is one of our habits, but we really mean it with Kasper Salto’s Ice series of chairs. The base itself is thoroughly contemporary, with angular lines and outwardly angled legs; however the segmented seatback is distinctly biological in design and hearkens to our vertebrate roots. Made from aluminum in available in arm chair, side chair, and stool versions, Ice is both indoor and outdoor friendly; add optional fabric or leather upholstery for a minimum of padding.
