Spec Sheet

Description

Pondering transition spaces that in the home that rarely call for a rectangular or round rug, designer Piero Lissoni throws a twist into the usual perspective with Île, a series of hand-tufted, irregular “islands” with a shorter-pile border around edge. Distinctively interpreted in individual standout colors, Asplund’s geometric series is made of 50% wool and 50% Tencel, for a soft hand and a deeply lustrous finish.

“Small details are more important in simple minimalist design, because you see every line,” says Sandra Adrian Asplund, creative director at the eponymous Stockholm-based furniture brand. The brothers Asplund—Michael, an art dealer, and Thomas, a banker—originally teamed up to open a gallery that treated furnishings as works of fine art. When their vision took off, Sandra joined the team as creative head (and later spouse of Thomas) to develop a collection in a style they dub “Friendly Minimalism” that has grown into an internationally acclaimed design leader.

A warmer take on iconic Swedish minimalism, the Asplund look is similarly grounded in functionality and and hews to an ethos of sustainably. “Natural materials often require a bit of love and care, but in return, they age beautifully and last a lifetime,” says Sandra. Carefully produced in Sweden with environmentally friendly processes and a large measure of hand craftsmanship, Asplund goods are contemporary heirlooms, she says. “Unless every inch is perfect, it is not good enough.”
