This two-piece sectional was designed by Paul McCobb, prominent mid-century designer whose signature is clean lines and intentional details. Designed in the 1950s, this piece was one of McCobb’s many he designed for manufacturer Directional, a longstanding collaboration. It has been restored with brass bases and mohair upholstery.
Natasha Kohli is a Chicago based artist who creates graphic, bold pieces. Her “Would” series presents pathways with no clear solution, such as this winding golden maze in “4 Would.” With no solution or message, it becomes a mediation. The eye is given many paths to follow along simply for the purpose of following, not for completing the maze.

As reflected in the title of her pieces, Camilla Taylor creates works that reflect something we have seen before but can’t quite remember. “Familiar” in particular combines familiar forms and materials in ways that seem new or different. The form evokes some kind of pinchers but also appears to possibly be melting, all made of fabric and buttons. Taylor seeks to evoke memories and to unearth that which rests just below everyday interactions.
Seth Keller’s walnut bench combines the irregular and organic beauty of wood with clean, streamlined contours. By avoiding any great detail or adornment, the beauty of the wood is given the room to shine. The result is this simple and beautiful piece.
