It’s no secret that we’re die-hard fans of all that local furniture heroes Jardan create, and their latest collection Living Forms which was released late last year, is no exception. The latest line of contemporary furniture is informed by the textures, colours and organic lines of the Australian landscape, redefining familiar Jardan classics with a relaxed vibe.
Described as a ‘return to place’, the Living Forms collection embraces contemporary rounded, sculptural forms. Each piece in the range nods to the current trend towards chunky and organic shapes, while the tones and textures of the upholstery evoke the muted tones of nature.
The new designs in the collection include the Floyd coffee table, with its coiled leg feature and glass table top, the Marlo modular sofa embodying contemporary organic lines and timber detailing and the Nelly lamp, a bold new lighting option with a handblown opal glass sphere as the fixture.
“We drift in and out of spaces forgetting the impact they have or will have on our lives, floating in and out like the memories that in time will take their place - the pieces of Living Forms have been designed to be future classics, representing the best of Australian craft, made in the best materials available. These are, we believe, what tomorrow’s memories are made of,” says Jardan director, Nick Garnham.
