PERFECT PAIRING
A collection from Workshop/APD and Arteriors
celebrates the alchemy of making
Craſt smanship is at the heart of Workshop/APD's guest
designer series for Arteriors. " We never want our work
to be minimal and cold. We want it to express a hand,
a person, an action that is translated to a material and
a texture, " explains Andrew Kline, design director and
senior associate at the New York fi rm.
Workshop/APD is well-versed in product
design. Most recently, there were rug and hardware
collaborations with Warp & Weſt and SA Baxter, and
soon, a luxury capsule collection of furnishings with
Jean Lin, founder of Colony, the designers' co-op, will
make its debut. When the opportunity with Arteriors
came up, Kline says the studio saw it as a chance to
" work with a heritage residential brand committ ed
to expanding its presence in the hospitality and
commercial worlds. "
With just a project brief and wishlist from
Arteriors in hand, the Workshop/APD team hatched
a range of pendants, chandeliers, wall lights, and
sconces as well as mirrors and accessories that spans
four styles: Bend, Cut, Glaze, and Roll, which are
inspired by the alchemy of making. " We became
fascinated by the idea of these fundamental acts,
simplifi ed down to a verb, " he says. Some pieces
exhibit glass, for example, that is silvery-gray and
rippled or etched like delicate crystal, while others
nod to the techniques of glazing and rolling clay.
In many ways, Workshop/APD is representative
of the collection's target market, " so we thought a
lot about our own specifi cations, " Kline explains,
pointing out the necessity for variation and shiſt s in
scale and form.
One standout is the Bend chandelier, a departure
from Workshop/APD's original vision of a metal
armature holding a 44-inch piece of glass that would
have been too challenging to produce or ship.
" Arteriors challenged us to divide the textured
glass shade into two pieces. It ended up being a
beautiful update, " says Kline, noting that the glass
now aligns " perfectly with the armature's stems
to highlight its geometric design. As designers, we
sometimes dream of things that aren't practical for
larger-scale production. " hd
