WHY
On the heels of its 2016 debut collection, M3LD will present a portfolio of home furnishing and accessories at NY NOW based on their unique interpretation of midcentury modern and brutalism styles.
Décor
- Oscar Planter – Oscar’s no grouch; this planter is happy indoors or out. His adorable pot belly is held up by sturdy, attractive brass tripod base.
- O Ring – This brass-finished steel circular wall décor offers elegance in simplicity – ostentatious, opulent and organized! – indoor or out.
- Meyer Planter – Just like hybrid lemon with the same name, our planter is a cross between the shine of midcentury modern and the saltiness of brutalism. Served in pairs, in your choice of tall or short.
- Roulette Mirror – Our money is on this burnished brass beauty and her beguiling ability to trip the light fantastic. We bet you’ll say, “Oui.”
Lighting
- Crass Sconce – When chrome meets brass, there’s no other way to describe it than, “crass.” But with burnished brass finishes, this sconce also knows how to mix well among polite company.
- Hank Concrete Pendant Light – Get a little freaky with this asymmetrical, angular, amazing piece of molded concrete lighting hotness, now available in black.
- Judith Light – You'll know who's the boss when Judith’s in the room. A can't-miss statement piece, this table lamp is a hand-welded, brutalist-inspired power player.
- Lucy Floor Lamp – If statement pieces make you dizzy, this clear acrylic three-legged floor lamp will have you swearing your love for Lucy.
Furniture
- Milton Burl Wood Table – Ol' Milt is a dapper gentleman, decked out in walnut burl wood with a satin finish. While the swirls and curls of his grain will turn heads, it's his brushed brass base that makes him irresistible.
Pets
- Heavy Pet Dish – Nothing works up an appetite like good design. Feed pets in style with this stainless-steel bowl paired with either a matte black or burnished brass base.
Collection
M3LD also is introducing its first collection at NY NOW Summer Market 2017. The custom-designed, natural-color molded concrete Mason collection is a brutalist-inspired triple-threat. The flagship piece is a one-of-a-kind concrete pendant lamp that casts epic patterns in shadow and light, projecting abstract and organic shapes around the room. Pair it with the new three-legged side table, which is topped with round, smoked glass. The collection also features a table lamp adorned with a square, black silk shade.
