This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Geometric Designs!

Over here at Swank Lighting, we're always keeping our eyes peeled for the best and newest trends in home decor. A trend we've been spying a lot recently is the trend of geometric furnishings. Furniture pieces, art and accessories that have a very distinct, geometric-feel to them are both modern-looking and precise. Grouped together or combined with more organic, softer furnishings, the geometric trend is something everyone can experiment with in their home! Check out these great examples we found on 1stdibs's newest listings today:

1) Wrought Iron Settee
You wouldn't think this fabulous modern settee is from the year 1949, but designer Darrell Landrum was obviously before his time when he crafted this great piece. We particularly love the way the structural elements become design elements reminiscent of the geodesic dome shape. The outline of the piece would really make an impact in a space.
Price: $7,500
Dealer: Full House

2) Brass Double Framed Mirror In the Style Of Pierre Cardin
From the 1970s, the brass finish might seem a bit old-fashioned, but that's overshadowed by the great geometric details, such as placing the square on its side creating a diamond, and the shape being accentuated due to the double frame detail. Beautiful and functional!
Price: $3,750
Dealer: Assemblage Ltd.

3) Modernist Brass Ball Shaped Wall Sconces
Italian and from the 1950s, these wall sconces are all about the sphere, a rather important geometric shape. Curved, organic and yet very modern, they'd make a great addition to a wall. The fact that they light up makes them functional, as well!

4) Chrome Cityscape Cube Table
From one of our favorite designers, Paul Evans, comes another pieces from his "Cityscape" series. This time a very modern, very shiny cube table. There's no denying the geometric quality of this table, but we also love its high-gloss appeal. We could easily see this table being a transitional piece and going with a lot of different styles.

5) Hollywood Regency Fire Surround
From the 1940s, this great fire place surround or mantle reminds us of one of the oldest geometric designs ever: the Greek key motif. Big, white and quite stunning, this would be a show stopper in a space and set a great geometric tone for the rest of the room!
Price: $1,800
Dealer: ABC Modern
