Yesterday we shared a new favorite designer that we discovered our love for, and that’s
Paul Evans. Though his designs might not immediately work with your tastes or style, we really think there are some jewels in his large career of furniture design. One such jewel we’
ve paired with a seemingly unlikely choice: a pair of Swank Lighting’s Figurine lamps! We’
ve been looking for the perfect piece to go with these adorable lamps from Swank, and we think we’
ve finally found it!
This
Paul Evan’s Faceted Credenza from 1970 for the Directional Furniture Company features maple burl wood. Though he is often known for working with metal, Evans did do a lot of work with the wonderfully patterned burl wood, and this piece is a great example. Combined with enamel fiberglass, the front of the piece is geometric, sculptural and just about jumps out at you. Two bi-fold doors hide two generous storage compartments with an adjustable shelf. Overall, a piece like this stands out from the crowd!
These
Vintage Murano Figurine Lamps in Light Blue are a fun addition to any space. Imported by the famed Balboa Company in the 1950’s, they feature a man and woman figurine dressed in old-fashioned clothing. We just love the levity they bring to
décor; they have a ton of personality and detail, and would bring a lot of interest to a space, as well as be a great conversation starter. Let’s not forget about luxury: these gorgeous lamps include beautiful detailing with 24k gold inclusion---meaning anything they sit on will be instantly transformed with glamour!
While it might seem odd at first to combine a faceted wood and fiberglass credenza and a pair of vintage Murano glass figurine lamps, we think these pieces actually make a perfect pair. Though the figurine lamps are striking and need to be placed on a simple piece so as not to overwhelm the eyes, they also can’t be placed on anything too simple lest they overwhelm the composition. They need a piece that has soft, neutral colors and materials, but enough interest to hold its own. Evans’ credenza is just that! Together they make an interesting statement---but a good-looking one!
