DARING DESIGN
Martin Brudnizki embraces an eclectic, maximalist style
Martin Brudnizki is, as always, busy with various hospitality projects. The Londonand
New York-based designer's eponymous studio recently completed Andrew
Carmellini's Italian chophouse Carne Mare at South Street Seaport in Manhatt an,
and soon will unveil the London import Sexy Fish Miami as well as Michael
Mina's the Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon, California.
Since founding product design studio And Objects in 2015 with Nicholas
Jeanes, Brudnizki has also gained recognition for his custom furniture and
lighting work. " It's a rewarding process as not only are you able to create
something in your own vision but you also get so involved in the details, in
watching the evolution of a piece of furniture through prototyping to the
customer's reaction, " he explains.
Looking beyond specifi c client briefs, earlier this year And Objects launched
its fi rst standalone collection, an ode to the 1920s Swedish Grace movement that
was characterized by a fusion of classical, Art Deco, and folk styles. Designing
without any specifi c locations in mind is an experience that Brudnizki describes
as " freeing, as the possibilities are essentially limitless. We were happy with the
shapes and characters of these pieces, but we liked the idea of updating them to
add more glamour. "
That's exactly what Brudnizki and Jeanes did for the Invisible Collection,
craſt ing a new suite of furniture including the sculptural cast-bronze Marden
coff ee table and Bighton side table in fi nishes of malachite, quartz, chiseled oak,
and marble that weren't used previously. This fall, And Objects will make its foray
into accessories with candles, and by early next year, Brudnizki hopes to reveal the
brand's inaugural dining set.
Brudnizki has also joined forces with the Rug Company for the New Romantics
series of carpets. Each one fl aunts a distinct perimeter patt ern so that they act as
" framing devices " for rooms, " drawing you to certain zones within an interior and
allowing the furniture to stand out like a stage to be enjoyed, " he says. The New
Romantics also nods to the vibrancy of the 1980s. Folly is the perfect example,
Brudnizki points out, " as you have a deep golden silk balustrade motif forming the
border while inside rich speckles of leopard print dance around, creating a sort of
disco feel. " hd
