| Barry Dixon Furniture Collection
by Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth |
| “Represented within the scope of our new collection are
elements from the gamut of aesthetic history – familiar forms and
lines abstracted thoughtfully to allow evolved interpretation. A
Queen Anne chair appears fresh when reconsidered as an upholstered
back, while casting the familiar shadow of its ancestor. The echo
of an Edwardian lounge here, paired with the pared down simplicity
of an Arts & Crafts bench there, all geared to blend the best of
the past with a vibrant present. It’s our opinion that this
approach allows a set of “tools” for the modern designer to nuance
their individual “formulae” in creating specific new spaces and
interiors comfortably reverent to the past, but resonant of how we
live after this “distillation process” of periods and culture
today. These are the pieces that I needed, but couldn’t find, to
bridge seemingly dissimilar styles, to link traditional and
modern, and to relate period antiques to new purchases for my
clients.” |
