The Rick Owens Furniture Collection is perfect for the urban minimalist. Not only are the pieces themselves incredibly simplistic, especially when it comes to their stark silhouette, they have rustic accents that will appeal to people's edgy and contemporary sensibilities. For instance, in place of a traditional backrest, a seat is completed with what appears to be the antlers of a moose.
The style of the Rick Owens Furniture Collection has been termed 'glunge,' which is a combination of the words 'glamorous' and 'grunge.' As reported by Hypebeast, "Calling them the “antithesis” of his flowing clothes, the pieces adorn his Paris, France, home when not on display."
The Rick Owens Furniture Collection were recently on display at Salon94 during Art Basel Switzerland.
