New York-based imprint Roman and Williams is an architectural and design studio led by the minds of Stephen SAlesch and Robin Standefer and the two recently launched the OVO and DADO collections.
The OVO capsule is made up of a dining chair and table that are inspired by the forms seen in nature as the ovate-shaped leaves are seen on the elm and beech trees by the designer's Montauk residence. The chair has an exposed central spine that nods to this shape and the table has rounded sides and angular legs. The DADO collection currently comes with a Dado desk but has plans to launch the dining table, bench, and side table to follow afterward.
