Pacific & St. Charles Collections
Volk Studio
volkfurniture.com
Volk is a Brooklyn-based studio dedicated to the design and fabrication of handcrafted, traditionally joined and finished wood furniture. New pieces include the Pacific armoire, shown in solid ash with ash veneer and a whitewashed finish, turned copper legs and drawer pulls, and swing doors with inset leather panels. Also shown are three new designs in the St. Charles collection: an armchair in solid bleached ash and blue cotton fabric; occasional tables in bleached ash with inlaid marble with a copper leg; and a 68-in-high mirror with a turned ash stem and concrete base.
Dustbin
Brendan Ravenhill

Constructed in the U.S. of folded, powder-coated metal, Brendan Ravenhill’s modern Dustbin features a dustpan which doubles as a perfectly counterbalanced swinging lid. The wood-handled, natural bristle brush has two inset magnets that affix it to the side of the bin. Ideal for modern kitchens, garages, pantries, or other interiors that need frequent sweeping, the bin comes in black or white and measures 12.5 in x 10.5 in x 26 in.
Florence Knoll Relaxed Benches
Knoll

Relaxed square upholstered benches are an addition to the recently launched Florence Knoll Collection that commemorated the design icon’s 100th birthday, last year. The new square benches feature a base in polished chrome, an exposed metal frame in heavy gauge steel, and an inner frame of solid wood. Available in a number of standard fabrics or Spinneybeck leather upholstery, the benches can be used as an ottoman, a seat — or as a table, with the help of a tray.
Molteni&C
D.156.3 Armchair
molteni.it
The D.156.3 armchair, originally designed by architect and designer Gio Ponti in 1956 for American company Altamira, has been reissued by Molteni&C. Assembled and finished in Italy, the reissue has a solid American walnut or black semi-matte lacquered frame and an ergonomic backrest featuring criss-crossed elastic straps that support the soft, quilted, and edged cushion. Upholstery is available in select fabrics and leathers, with customization on request. The chair is available at furniture dealers throughout the U.S.
Palma Umbrella
Royal Botania

The mechanics of the Palma automatic garden umbrella are contained within the sleek contours of the design: The aluminum shaft encloses a gas strut, and the base conceals a quick-release mechanism that raises it to a fully open position. By gently pulling down on one of the arms, the umbrella automatically closes in the same way. The powder-coated aluminum pole, ribs, and base are available in white, cappuccino, or black, and the canopy textile is made of Sunbrella UV- and water-resistant fabric in eight colors.
