Kirk Van Ludwig debuts politically inspired Constantinople nesting tables at NYC Design Week

Written by Jodie Webb - May 01 2019

The Autonomous Constantinople nesting tables by Kirk Van Ludwig demonstrates how two objects very different in geometry, colour, weight, and materials, can cohesively work together.

Made to size and fit to its environment, the whitened Ash round sits on three asymmetrical acrylic one-inch thick legs while the torched Vancouver Island Douglas Fir square sits on two one-and-a-half-inch acrylic legs slightly offset.  The result is a harmony of carefully considered materials and shapes.  

Much like its namesake city, the Constantinople nesting tables form a centre point for its living space with both pieces working harmoniously together.  See details for the Constantinople here.

Kirk Van Ludwig's Autonomous Furniture was selected to be 1 of 10 designers for NYC Design week's Wanted Design Manhattan Look Book this May.   Featured will be the Constantinople table set (shown above) and the Freeman Bench Walnut.

Jax Table: As Featured At IDSWest's LA Exchange

Written by Jodie Webb - January 19 2016

Last year's IDSWest trade show hosted a first ever Los Angeles-based designer booth where their work was featured in a booth curated by Design Milk.

The LA Exchange exhibit was a celebration of LA’s killer design sense, and was created by Falken Reynolds Interiors who designed a stunning space that perfectly showcased six talented design brands, and their work, including our personal favourite: the Jax table by Jory Brigham.

 

We at Autonomous are proud to be BC's first stockist of Jory Brigham's Jax table. What's more is that we are displaying the amazing mint green metal base paired with reclaimed oak in our showroom. We are in love with the fresh modern feel of this piece!

 

The Jax table is available in other wood species and metal colour combinations, most popularly available in black powder-coated as well as brass steel (shown here). Contact us directly for more information on the Jax table.

A little insight into Jory Brigham? He is one of LA's most talented furniture designers, and known for his classic mid century style with a playful fusion.

Fun fact? Jory is a past winner of Spike reality TV competition "Framework". 

 

We invite you to come visit our showroom to see the Jax table for yourself.

Scandinavian Modern Furniture: Our Latest Tables

Written by Jodie Webb - December 29 2015

Perhaps you've been reading of upcoming trends in interior design including a Nordic appeal. Even Elle Décor is talking about Pinterest's annual list of design inspiration predictions for 2016 including Scandinavian inspired design as #2.

We’ve been feeling this clean and crisp natural styling for awhile now, often taking inspiration from Danish company Bang & Olufsen and Norwegian company Stokke (can’t help but notice our daughter’s clean-lined Tripp Trapp!), and even European car design is taking notice.

Take our b6 dining table, incorporating a reverse natural edge with a centre reveal, where the bark has been carefully finished to remain intact, and the outside edge of the tabletop has a clean knife edge.

Continuing on our Scandinavian inspired aesthetic, our b6 tabletop is finished in a whitewashed natural hardwax oil, providing a muted natural wood look. Trapezoid steel legs are powder-coated in black, with a natural polished detail on the leading edge, giving an edgy black and steel detail.

The modern yet natural organic look often seen in Nordic design is shown in our Edge side table, with its tapered Douglas Fir base and chamfered edge.

As we look ahead to a new year, we can’t help but be excited to see where these beautiful furniture pieces end up.
