| Line Credenza
|
Line Wine Bar
|
| Quiet elegance in a smart storage option. Available in two sizes,
the Small Credenza has two louvered doors with four cubbies and two
drawers inside and the Large Credenza has four louvered doors and eight
interior cubbies. The louvered design detail also serves a functional
purpose, allowing infrared light to reach remote-controlled devices
stored inside the credenza. Made in Malaysia |
The Line Wine Bar (2010) has two drawers with leather pulls, one
open cubby, two storage racks for stemware and two storage racks for a
total of 24 bottles, twice the storage as the Line Bar. (The bottle
storage racks are removable.) Made in Malaysia |

| Primary Desk
|
Nakashima Straight Backed Chair
|
| With a nod toward the mid-century furniture that he grew up with in
Singapore, Yong designed this desk after a flashback of his primary
school days in the classroom. There’s also something futuristic about
it, with its pointed legs and dynamic side profile, which Yong sees as
something “straight out of The Jetsons, the cartoon that I used to watch
at that age." The desk has five drawers – three in the top shelf and two
in the desktop. |
Presenting a very special re-introduction: the Nakashima
Straight-Backed Chair (1948), designed by George Nakashima for Knoll.
Nakashima was an MIT-trained architect who was known to describe himself
as Japanese Shaker. |

| Line Media Console
|
Line Bar
|
| Inspired by “the fluid streamlined forms of 1960s stereo
components.” An elegant cabinet with a louvered exterior, it is designed
so a remote control will operate the media components inside even when
the doors are closed. Made in Malaysia |
The Bar (2010) has two drawers with leather pulls, three open
cubbies, a storage rack for stemware and a storage rack for 12 bottles.
(The bottle storage racks are removable.) Made in Malaysia |

| Splay-Leg Coffee Table
|
| George Nakashima regarded cabinetry and woodwork as a noble art
form. His Splay-Leg Coffee Table (1948) exhibits his gifted sense of
grain, texture and balance. The veneered walnut or hickory top has a
reverse slip-matched cathedral grain, which allows the table to be
placed facing either way. Nakashima referred to himself as a “Japanese
shaker,” expressing the belief that his designs should be treated as
everyday functional objects, not precious possessions |

How does one
sculpt space? How do objects give form to the surrounding emptiness? This puzzle
creates a theme that runs through the work of Isamu Noguchi. It is not
one he attempted to solve, but like the Zen master, posed the question in
different ways. One of the great sculptors of the 20th century. He
also sought to bring sculptural qualities to the many objects he designed for
common use. Foremost a sculptor, Isamu Noguchi softened the edge of 20th century
modernism with his satisfyingly organic furniture designs. The son of a well-known Japanese poet and an American writer,
Isamu Noguchi grew up in the tumult of WWII, during which he often shuffled
between the U.S. and Japan. Simultaneously influenced by Eastern tradition and
Western innovation, Noguchi’s work bridges the cultures and artistic heritages
of Japan, the U.S. and Europe like no other artist of his generation.

Noguchi Free Form Ottoman
|
Noguchi Free Form Sofa
|
| Foremost a sculptor, Isamu Noguchi softened the edge
of 20th century modernism with his satisfyingly organic furniture
designs. His sought-after classic Free Form Sofa and Ottoman (1946) have
been newly reissued by the Vitra Design Museum in partnership with the
Isamu Noguchi Foundation. |
A statement-making piece, the sofa has a grandly scaled, open form
that accommodates multiple people. The design is lightly padded and
provides a firm seating surface for public spaces and formal living
rooms. |

Noguchi Table
|
Noguchi Prismatic Table
|
| The Noguchi Table conceals nothing;
reveals everything about the nature of simplicity. Two simple, smoothly
shaped pieces interlock to form a tripod that supports a 3/4" thick
slab of transparent glass. |
Evoking the Japanese art of origami, the table features carefully
bent and folded angles that lend dimension and a sense of solidity to
the design. Small but sturdy, it's a crisp and classic side or end
table. This is the first time the three-legged version of the table has
been produced, and is artfully manufactured by the Vitra Design Museum
in collaboration with the Isamu Noguchi Foundation |
