dyad studio

Brooklyn is fertile ground for design firms, with both Desu Design and Brave Space calling the thriving borough home. DYAD studio is another “brave” contemporary designer which melds materials such as steel, Lucite and glass into incredibly sleek and unique pieces. Above: the RM Platform Bed is made from 3/4″ stainless steel, with beveled edges for style and safety. Although the essential form is nothing new, the use of metal in a satin finish is undeniably sexy.

The Clasp series of tables also utilizes steel; the cantilevered steel frame has built-in clasps that hold the glass top in place. The glass itself is available in translucent black, clear and laminated flavors, while the steel can be linear grained or waxed. Note that DYAD permits a high level of customization in all of its pieces, so other surfaces and finishes are available upon request.

As its name implies, the Exo(skeleton) Shelving System’s stainless steel frame takes center stage, with internal stainless steel filaments that help to anchor the shelving in place. Shelves come in black or white; you can also choose from an assortment of shapes including “tubes” and half-shelves in either rounded or squared varieties.

The Slide and Cross1 tables make heavy use of Lucite and gorgeous mirror-polished stainless steel. Slide features sliding Lucite panels and an opal glass base, while Cross1 is composed of two adjustable U-shaped frames with a Lucite cubbie at suspended at their intersection. Both Slide and Cross1 are indicative of DYAD’s continuing commitment to “brave” design by mixing materials in ways that are both functional and stylish.
