\"The Max Lamb’s “Marmoreal” marble<\/p>\n

 
\nHome furnishings have reached a new and exciting era, with artists rewriting the rules on interior design. From lightweight storage\u00a0options to sturdy shelving, these innovators are exploring the limits of materiality and space.\u00a0Here, we\u00a0present five designers\u00a0transforming shelves and tables into sculptural pieces of art for your home. Broken down into three categories, they are the new kids on the block, the high-fashion crossovers and the high-street collaborators.

\nNew Tendency<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Utilising modernist principles to create contemporary design, New Tendency is the Berlin-based duo built upon Bauhaus tradition. Featuring clean silhouettes and functional form, many of their offerings, including the signature Meta Side Table (pictured right), are available for purchase in a rainbow of colours. Berlin’s hippest establishments have already taken notice of the brand, with shops such as\u00a0the flagship Ace & Tate<\/a> on\u00a0Alte Sch\u00f6nhauser Str. decked out in New Tendency\u00a0design.

\nMax Lamb<\/a>
\n<\/strong>With designs that serve as an exploration of materiality to its fullest extent, Max Lamb’s home furnishings are like hand crafted sculptural objects. In 2015, the British artist created his very own slabs of marble which was used to construct the Marmoreal Bathroom (pictured left).\u00a0Also available in bright white, the Italian-made marble\u00a0provides\u00a0contrast for\u00a0the accompanying\u00a0colourful splashes of precious stones.

\nRick Owens<\/a><\/strong> \nMade from an interesting variety of materials including ox bone and petrified wood, Rick Owens’ sculptural creations\u00a0almost look like\u00a0primitive pieces of art. The fashion-minded creative ventured into furniture\u00a0in 2007 with a collection of home wares presented at Paris’ Jousse Enterprise. The success of his designs\u00a0encouraged Owens\u00a0to continue a pursuit in furniture, with a steady stream\u00a0of acclaimed collections released ever since.
