The Best Urbia Pieces
It’s hard to choose, but we’ve selected just a few Urbia pieces to encourage you to take a look at everything they offer.
Madison Buffet
Textured mindi wood and oak veneer create the moody presence of the Madison Buffet. What's particularly memorable and lovable about this cabinet is how it manages to feel both classically elegant and residentially practical, providing the organized storage that makes daily routines effortless and entertaining seamless.
Carmelo Upholstered Accent Chair
Inspired by Mid-Century Modern design principles, the Carmelo Upholstered Accent Chair is set at a relaxing recline which is supported by woven cane backrest. Sink into the deep upholstered cushions which, when paired with the natural wood frame and smooth lines, create a beautifully refined chair with a soft, natural presence.
Faceted Stool
A column of fiber-reinforced concrete is carved into geometric diamond-inspired shape that is both elegant and bold. Use the Faceted Stool in living rooms, dining rooms, and in commercial spaces as a piece of art, pillar for a plant, or a little extra seating.
Misewell
We’ve loved Misewell as a part of our catalogue for years now. This Milwaukee-based brand produces pieces that equal art installations that double as functional lighting, décor, and furniture for modern homes.
About Misewell
Founded by brothers determined to make homes across America and the world better places to be, Misewell embraces the bespoke. Handcrafted is at the heart of the Misewell business, meaning each modern light, coffee table, and indoor planter is carefully constructed in small batches, blending thoughtful design with ethically sourced materials and locally sourced talent. This winning combination has allowed the Misewell studio to utilize the expertise of craftspeople right at home in American communities and avoid the waste of mass-production.
The Best Misewell Pieces
From their offerings of soft, modern, and sophisticated pieces, we’ve chosen a few we know will look wonderful in any style home.
Scotty Mug (Dipped)
These handcrafted, hand-dipped ceramic mugs are a beautiful part of the best morning. Drink your coffee or tea in style, and bring a little color to your counter and cabinets with the Scotty Mug.
Lag Lamp
Three rings of unbleached, organic cotton rise in flared layers to create the soft but impactful silhouette of the Lag Lamp. Simple and honest, this pendant light has the best presence in living rooms filled with more natural textures and materials, or in Scandinavian spaces that demand hygge expressions.
Wrap Planter
Shaped like a starburst, the Wrap Planter encases indoor plants in a cozy and artsy ceramic home. The vertical ridges create movement and height while the four different sizes ensure your plant always has a planter just the right size.

Oeuf is our resident children’s furniture brand, bringing us whimsical and comfortable modern pieces for babies, toddlers, and young design enthusiasts.

Every piece of Oeuf furniture is crafted with the family and environment in mind, from the slats of the Classic Crib to the delightfully off-kilter shelves and cubbies of the Mini Library, all the way down to the adorable waves of the Moss series.
Irresistible Oeuf Pieces
Whether you're outfitting a child's bedroom, planning for your first child, or introducing the big boy or big girl bed, Oeuf has something for every growing family.
Perch Loft Bed
The best way to maximalize space in a child’s bedroom is with a loft bed. The Perch Loft Bed becomes an instant delight as it converts to a fort in the child’s mind while the increased space beneath the bed can be used for desks, play areas, or storage.
3 Drawer Dresser – Sparrow
The 3-drawer dresser is almost a standard in kids’ rooms. The perfect amount of storage for clothing and other treasures, three drawers are all accessible to kids. The Sparrow dresser from Oeuf is soft and simple, with deep drawers and environmentally friendly materials.
Bunny Play Chair - Set Of 2
The Bunny Play Chair is just one of Oeuf’s animal chair options and is their most charming piece. Small enough for kids aged 2-6, this chair slips easily into any bedroom, creative corner, or play area.

An icon of Scandinavian design, Kalon Studios brings a refreshing modern pieces to the market that ethically utilize domestic hardwoods such as ash, walnut, and white oak, allowing the character of the wood to become central to the design.
About Kalon Studios
Thirteen years of pushing the conventions of design has ushered Kalon Studio into the limelight and made them a benchmark in eco-responsibility.

Our Favorite Kalon Pieces
It’s hard to choose, but we’ve done the impossible and have hand-picked a few of our favorite Kalon pieces we think you’ll love.
Element Console
This genius Element Console is a space-saving must for smaller spaces, loft apartments, and compact living areas. Use it for TV’s, books and sculptures, or as a desk to maximize your space. What we love most about it is the combination of materials. Douglas fur wood and aluminum masterfully come together for a modern shelf.
No. 6 Chair
This modern chair is more than just beautiful; it features premium natural materials including solid hardwood frame with 100% pure linen upholstery—a combination with dreamy, timeless appeal.
The clean, structural silhouette is luxury incarnate, creating contemporary living rooms where the modular system adapts to changing needs and spatial configurations. Whether you want to enhance open-plan spaces, or create cozy modern lounge areas, the sculptural frame of the No. 6 Chair provides architectural presence.
No. 5 Chaise
The best of modern lounge furniture, the No. 5 Chaise is elegant, minimalist, and yet completely memorable, especially since it’s so comfortable. The streamlined, chaise lounge silhouette pairs gorgeously with other Kalon pieces while the natural materials bring warmth wherever they’re enjoyed.
Artless
Artless holds nothing back when it comes to modern furniture. Their disciplined approach to construction is balanced by whimsical, contemporary interpretation of modernism.
About Artless
Artless approaches the task of styling a home as more than just a selection process of which chair works there, and what light is the most cost-effective. Instead, they focus on the underlying emotional and ethical considerations that make a house not a place to collect furniture, but a home with a unique and timeless functionality and beauty.
The Best of the Artless Catalogue
All of Artless’s pieces integrate naturally into contemporary interiors so no matter what you choose to add to your home, it’ll look like it always belonged there.
Focal Table
The Focal Table does as it says and draws the eye with its sculptural base. This artistic element is easily seen through the glass tabletop and enjoyed from all angles. This piece also works really well with modern lighting, a sleek credenza, or even a Scandinavian-inspired dining room chandelier.
ARS Counter Stool
We love this funky and fun counter stool. With its architectural angles, clean lines, leather-upholstered or wood seat, and genius footrest, the ARS Counter Stool will charm you in restaurant bars, home lounge areas, or even along kitchen islands.
Melinda Bench 24 - With Shelf
The Melinda series features what looks like a double cushion for a unique and extra comfortable sitting experience. To make their design even better, Artless added a shelf beneath the Melinda Bench for storage and style. Use this bench in your entryway and store your favorite shoes underneath for easy access on the go.
