Christophe Delcourt x Avenue Road
Wood, whether spruce or smoked or gouged brushed, is the star of Paris designer Christophe Delcourt’s Woodlane collection for Avenue Road. Originally unveiled at the furniture brand’s Art Deco residence in Miami, where the works mingled with some of Delcourt’s earlier creations for Avenue Road, the sculptural pieces include the imposing yet softly curved Afa sideboard and the round, bench-like Nin dining and coffee tables, anchored by bases that reimagine weighty tree trunks.
Elizabeth Garouste x Ralph Pucci
French designer Elizabeth Garouste has an affinity for color, and it’s illuminated in Beans, her fantastical new collection for Ralph Pucci (on view in the design and art gallery’s New York outpost through October). Garouste, known for the Surrealist furniture she created in the 1980s and ’90s with Mattia Bonetti, teamed up with Ralph Pucci’s sculpture studio to bring these pieces to life. First, Garouste imagined them all simply in cardboard, then they were sculpted in clay or plaster and brought over to the adjacent factory to get Ralph Pucci’s proprietary Plasterglass treatment. Along with console, side, and bulbous-based dining tables, there are quirky, slanted table lamps, chandeliers and sconces reminiscent of sea creatures, and voluptuous mirrors, some of which highlight Garouste’s love for found materials through rope, raffia, and mosaic details.
