New From Misewell
-
Brothers Vincent and Paul Georgeson take an unconventional approach to expanding their nascent line of furniture: They take a look around their respective homes and tally what they need, and then design those pieces themselves. "We have added several new products that enhance and add functionality to the spaces we live in," says Paul. "Our additions include a versatile coat stand, a multipurpose bench, an adjustable lamp, a robust bar stool and an essential desk." -
Here's a cross-section of Misewell's latest products. About the company's general approach to design, Paul says: "We feel a large part of the beauty lies in the details that often times are overlooked and unresolved. We view connection points, material choices, and hand crafted joinery as opportunities to enhance furniture from both an aesthetic and structural standpoint." -
Their new Tokyo lights (from $245) are made of recycled steel and come in two sizes, eight inches and 18 inches, each topped with an oatmeal-colored rolled-edge shade. "When designing the Tokyo Lamp, our goal was to create something with personality," says Paul. "The ability to tweak the neck angle and pivot the shade entices users to interact with and adjust Tokyo’s stance." -
The rubber-dipped steel base, aluminum neck, and spun shade keep the Eileen lamp ($1,200) balanced when leaning against a wall or in a corner. -
The walnut Conrad coffee table's legs snap into a stamped steel bracket, which comes in powder-coated black, ivory, or this sunny shade of yellow ($1,150). -
Misewel introduced these powder-coated Captain Hooks ($26 each) in 2009. An innovative stamping process creates little waste by producing nearly 300 coat hooks from a single 4'x8' sheet of steel. -
The new Spruce clothes tree ($410) comes in ivory or black steel. Says Paul: "Spruce is a design that has such a simple, graphic silhouette that it fits well in almost any architectural setting. From a functionality standpoint, it can earn its keep nearly anywhere in your house. We recommend entryway, bedroom, office, and bathrooms." -
The walnut Grain desk ($1,775) and tomato-colored Sixagon stool ($350) are perfect companions. The Sixagon also works perfectly as a side table. -
The three legs on the Poet Stool ($620) are connected to the walnut seat using mortise and tenon joints, a classic and durable construction method. Made of the same materials, but to different effect, the Lockwood chair ($510) has a shaped solid wood seat and formed steel back.

Furniture Design: Misewell
Growing up in southeastern Wisconsin, Vincent and Paul Georgeson used to hang out in their father’s basement woodshop, fascinated by the process of building things.
