Get The Look #1

Brad Pitt’s shopping trip last week got me interested in the designer of Brad’s new $293,000 hollow-marble console table, Jeroen Verhoeven. It turns out that Mr. Verhoeven has been very busy in the last few years. He is a young designer in his early thirties whose work has already been acquired by London’s Victoria & Albert museum. This is the piece they bought:

Jeroen created this piece under the auspices of a design collective known as Demakersvan. They have created quite a stir in the design world since their debut in 2006. This console, known as the Cinderella table,  is made of Industrialized Wood. Verhoeven says its design is inspired from 17th century furniture (I’d like to see those pieces!)

Back here in the real world is an example of the same kind of fluidity and “grain appeal” of Demakersvan’s artistic vision, the Twisty Stool from Viva Terra.

Aren’t they great? They are made of monkey-pod wood, very lightweight, and can be used as a side table or stool. Or put two together to make a coffee table. On sale for $129-$269 now through 9/30 at www.vivaterra.com .
