bold furniture.









"i am obsessed with living environments. i build furniture in which form is as important as its function. too often furniture is viewed as primarily functional, when in reality it is used no differently than a sculpture. i build furniture that is distinctive, furniture that doesn't blend into the background, furniture that stands out for it's beauty and uniqueness." this fresh, clean, modern line from lavassa based out of new york and more specifically crafted by peter harrison offers pieces as sculpture first, functional furniture second. peter has also created a line of wall sculpture to mimic his furniture line going so far as to say yes this is sculpture, as if you can't tell. streamlined, gorgeous, breathtaking. simply beautiful. in any room it would be that one of a kind piece, a conversation piece. i love his use of texture and material blending beautiful woods, metal (i love metal) and organic shapes and lines. in any setting they direct you, they invite you to admire, use and talk about each piece. be the first on your block to pick up a piece of lavassa furniture!
