Contemporary Furniture
18 Watt
This showroom packs in avant-garde, ever-innovating European furniture lines. Find impeccably made Spanish seating from CasaDesús and Beltá & Frajumar, whose unconventional benches expand playfully. Sweden’s Johanson makes more restrained modular sofas and chairs, and morphs felt into attractive wall-, floor- or ceiling-mounted sound absorbers for homes and workspaces. Pair furniture with equally statement-making handmade Murano glass sconces or chandeliers from Andromeda. 834 CALEDONIA RD 416 787 1818 18-WATT.COM
