Hannes Grebin took furniture that he remembered from his home in the 1970's in Germany and clashed it with modern design to create this cubism-inspired collection. The grouping includes a sofa, chair, pendant light, and bureau finished in a retro-futuristic fashion.
You have to love the past-meets-future details, like white doilies tenderly laid over the headrests, traditional gold and cream fabric and beige fringe dusting the floor.
I swear we ripped out many lights that looked just like that when we moved into our late 1960’s bungalow.
