About Our Transitional Furniture

Transitional furniture does something difficult: it speaks to rooms where traditional architectural details and contemporary furnishings need to coexist without either one apologizing for itself. A room with period moldings and a contemporary kitchen does not need traditional furniture in the dining area and modern furniture in the living area. It needs transitional furniture throughout, which takes its proportions from the period tradition and its finish and silhouette from the contemporary world.

The defining characteristic of a transitional piece is restraint. It has the scale and solidity of a period piece, but the ornament has been reduced to the minimum: a simple turned leg instead of a carved cabriole, a case piece with clean door fronts rather than carved panels, upholstery in a solid neutral rather than a period textile. The result reads as neither historical nor trendily modern, which means it ages well in both directions.

The transitional pieces in this collection work in rooms with crown molding and wide-plank floors as easily as they work in rooms with nine-foot smooth ceilings. Wood species tend toward the versatile: walnut, white oak, and painted finishes that coordinate with a wide range of architectural palettes.

Most pieces are available in custom sizes. Lead times run eight to twenty weeks depending on the piece. White glove in-home delivery is standard on every order.
