Something New: Modern Furniture that Exudes Old World Luxury
November 4, 2009 on 3:26 am | In Articles | No CommentsI’ve heard it said a number of times: “Modern furniture is very chic, but it’s too cold and antiseptic-looking for my taste.”
I’ve always begged to differ.
Modern furniture is incredibly earthy — beds are slung low to the ground, and cabinets, sofas and hardware placement always follow gorgeous horizontal lines that are reminiscent of the horizon or the line of the ocean when one tries to see as far as the eye can see.
One needs to assess modern furniture with a studied and careful eye before making a purchase as it is often eye-poppingly expensive. And realistically, only very few of us can start out with a brand-new modern home such as those that exist in the pages of Dwell Magazine.
However, careful observation and thought will allow you to mix modern furniture harmoniously with your existing style home or with your existing decor. Just keep in mind (1) scale and proportion (i.e. making sure your choices are in scale/harmonious in size with each other), (2) materials (i.e. choosing materials that exude the same personality), and (3) balance. Always Balance!
One bedroom furniture line which exudes Italian style with a minimum of minimalism and a maximum of luxury materials is the Rossetto furniture line. I like this line because it is authentically Italian but priced surprisingly well. Most of all, its designers use a mix of material that allow modern pieces to fit in transitional interiors.
For example, the Rossetto Time case goods are more organic or feminine than the usual modern case goods, featuring curvaceous oval shilouettes and dark wenge wood veneers. They still maintain the strong horizontal lines which exemplify modern design, but the materials used make the line a lot more accessible to transitional interior schemes.

The Rossetto Fly case goods nod to nature with an an eye-catching Zebrawood veneer while Rossetto Win case goods – part of the Rossetto Interni collection – simply melt you with deep dark oak veneers in low to the ground designs.

I have to add, though, that, my favorite has got to be the to-die-for Rossetto Esprit bed in leather. This platform bed features a gorgeous quilted design that is earthy, organic and feminine all at once — a perfect foil to a modern interior!

Hankering for a bit of old-world luxury? Still think modern design is too cold and antiseptic? Check out the Rossetto Diamond Black lacquer nightstand with faux crocodile leather and Swarovski crystal insets and you’ll see “modern furniture” in a whole new light.

Here’s the lesson again: Want to incorporate modern furniture elements into your design scheme but are afraid it won’t “match?”
Pay attention to scale, materials and balance and you’ll be able to create rooms and vignettes that express your lifestyle and bring comfort and joy to your home life every day.
And “adding comfort and joy to your home life every day” is exactly what home and furniture design is all about, so go on and give it a try!
