The American SetThis Season's Design Drops Worth a Collector's Second Look
New object launches are catching collectors' attention this month, with the emphasis falling on craft rather than trend. Among the pieces standing out are wicker poufs finished by hand in shifting, painterly shades that recall open water, each one closer to a small artwork than a seat. Elsewhere, a run of Japanese furniture designs long out of circulation has been brought back by the very hands that made them originally. For collectors, that continuity of maker is the rarer find — new work carrying the weight of an older one.
