Chic furniture finds merge innovation and style

DANISH MODERN
Denmark-based Kristina Dam Studio brings minimalist lines to furniture, lighting and accessories. Pictured above: a collection of tables inspired by the incense boxes of Japan’s Edo era. Designed with removable tray tops that rest on square or rectangular bases, the oiled-oak pieces also double as storage or seating; fitted cushions are available. kristinadam.dk

SWIVEL SEAT
Inspired by mid-century Italian design, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’ Margaux swivel counter stool perches a comfy curved seat and back on wooden legs connected by a brushed stainless-metal stretcher.
