At DwellStudio we spend a lot of creative energy redefining our idea of what is current and modern. Modern to us has never meant gravel driveways and linear achitecture – modern is not a movement that can be distilled down to an iconic piece of furniture. For us it’s state of mind. For us modern is new – new ideas, new horizons, new design.

After the last year, what feels modern to us is something riffing off of the more traditional. We are taking cues from historical visual motifs and making them new. We are transforming the decorative and making it minimal. Decorative Minimal may seem like an oxymoron but we are looking to European style – it’s about the few great things that make a space well designed and the worship of quality and craftsmanship. Our geometrics have become luxorious and three dimensional, our prints more complex – the pieces have a heirloom quality and a modernity that seem to be the right balance for right now.

I hope you enjoy the new collection...

PEACOCK 

 Peacock Dove - We absolutely love this pattern. A little diorama, a little vintage wallpaper. We've flattened it and painted it by hand.  Old world meets new. We think the result is so right for now.  

Peacock Citrine - Straight off the runways, citrine is the color of 2010. We love this pattern so much, we wanted to make it soft, we wanted to make it bold. This is the pattern that can transform a room.

ETCHING

This is our modern, pared down version of a classic toile.  The subject matter feels very current and we love black and white in interiors, so the graphic nature of this hand-drawn pattern makes it perfect for any space.

GATE 

By popular demand, we took this table pattern (introduced in 2009) and made it in to bedding. The sophisticated and versatile Java color is perfect for any interior. And the decorative minimal geometric looks new and fresh.

PYRAMIDS 

For the modern minimalist...dress the bed with our matelasse blanket & any of our sheet sets.

This is a matelasse collection of blankets and shams in three sophisticated colors. The luxurious hand and woven details make them the perfect layering piece.  We're known for pioneering geometric bedding...here, we've elevated it to luxury. 

GATE & PYRAMIDS SHEETS 

We love our new printed sheets.  You can mix them or match them and the result is inspired.

CUBIST THROW 

This baby alpaca throw is one of our favorite introductions to the line.  It's gorgeous and graphic, a great addition to the bed or a sofa and comes in 4 colors: charcoal (shown here), chocolate, peacock & camel.

This collection will be available on dwellstudio.com mid-April.  Look for more additions in July!.  We hope you love it as much as we do.

We'd love to know - what is your idea of modern now?
