Stua Stories by Ami Kealoha

Stua drafted the video artist Javier Guerrero to create a series of short film installations that evoke the mood and tone of Stua's designs. The six stories, designed to run on four screens simultaneously, are open narratives that range from a diver's decision ("The Choice," pictured) to the suspenseful roadside burial of a corpse, aptly titled "Hitchcock revisited." Premiering at last year's Milan furniture fair, the collection is one of many collaborations with artists that Stua's undertaken in recent years, an approach that's in keeping with their commitment to high level aesthetics.

The book highlights the work of more than 80 creative minds— including painters, architects, fashion designers, filmmakers and...

Just in time for next week's ICFF in New York, Matthew Marks Gallery is showing its second solo exhibition of work by the Seattle-based artist Roy McMakin. The show, "For," continues the artist's exploration into the physical and mental space furniture occupies in our lives. Through the subtle distortion of common objects—a chair, a dresser, a stool—McMakin forces a subconscious shift in perception, or...
Juxtaposed: Religion
The first in a series of conceptual shelves called Juxtaposed by design duo Mike and Maaike, this shelf brings all the major religious texts (the Bhagvad Gita, Bible, Qur'an, Confucious' Analects, the Tao Te Ching, Discourses of the Buddha and The Torah) together and puts them on the same level.
