Objets D’art: Designer Aesthetics for the Home
“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it,” the influential British artist and textile designer William Morris wrote in 1880. “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” With precious designer objects, your house can have both – each of these objets d’art combine impeccable craftsmanship with a sense of play and whimsy. The result? Familiar furnishings, games, and accessories elevated to the realm of true aesthetic splendour.
