Architect and Designer Unveils Squarish Chair | In Bloom at Global
Furniture Show
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/ICFF?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#ICFFlt;/agt;–ICFF, North America’s platform for global design, opens May 19, 2019 at
the Javits Center in New York City. Carol Kurth, FAIA, ASID, announces
the debut of her namesake furniture line, Carol Kurth®, at the show,
unveiling the first offering from its Urban Edge collection: Squarish
Chair | In Bloom at the Luxe Artisans of Influence
exhibit. Luxe Interiors + Design, highlights unique artisan works
at ICFF by presenting designs of exceptional, hand-crafted home
furnishings in their Luxe Lounge.
A celebration of artisanal design at the intersection of art and
architecture, the Carol Kurth® Squarish Chair | In Bloom,
juxtaposes function and form — functional as a swivel chair and
sculptural as an art form. The tapered lines of the chair are accented
by a bold wrap cut-out, highlighting the frame and structure. Blossoming
in an array of artful clusters, hand-crafted leather flowers have
dynamic sculptural impact, signifying hope in bloom.
“With a vision to create a chair that literally flourished beyond the
boundaries of the surface of the chair, and creating an interplay of
shadows, I approached the design with an eye towards blurring the lines
of art and design,” stated Carol Kurth, principal of Carol Kurth
Architecture + Interiors.
Squarish Chair | In Bloom is now available for custom order and
marks the initial offering of Kurth’s inaugural furniture collection.
The collection will infuse elements of architecture, from bold forms to
minimalist lines and feature a range of product categories, including
distinctive award-winning hardware, all available to the design trade
later this year. Dramatic form, innovative textures, metal accents and
discerning detailing are hallmarks of the Carol Kurth® brand.
Carol Kurth will take the stage for the ICFF Talks Artisans of Influence
panel discussion presented by Luxe Interiors + Design, an
engaging conversation on the influence of artisan products. Sunday, May
19, 1:30-2:30pm; ICFF Talks Main Stage.
