Polart Furniture | Traditional Meets Modern
I recently stumbled upon a furniture collection that made my jaw drop a little and I just had to share it with you today. In interior design we are often trying to find our place on the spectrum of traditional to modern, and that spectrum leaves a lot of room for interpretation. With the evolution of design, extremes are now less frequently the hard-and-fast rule. Purists still exist, but design styles and periods are more commonly being knit together into very personalized interiors.
Capitalizing on this shift in the design industry, Polart has created a collection of furniture that offers statement pieces that boldly bridge the spectrum of traditional to modern. It was this bookcase that first captured my attention.
I simply adore the whit and whimsy this piece evokes. Fresh and modern while offering a respectful bow to tradition, this bookcase has my number.
My other favourite from this collection is the grandfather clock {shown above}, such a brilliantly fresh and modern interpretation of a traditional heirloom classic.
My jaw dropped a little further when I discovered Polart also offers an incredibly unique outdoor collection.
Polart‘s artistic use of polymers results in an outdoor collection that stands above the crowd as utterly unique and bursting with personality. From bergére chairs to dining chairs and fainting sofas, the one-piece plastic frames {available in black, white and several pop colours} can be upholstered in Sunbrella’s canvas fabric, making them entirely resistant {frame-to-fabric} to humidity, corrosion, extreme temperatures, light and weathering. They are even members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council!
I’m sure you would agree that this outdoor collection is most definitely 50% tradition, 50% modernity and 100% STATEMENT. I can picture everything from elegant and easy gatherings to Mad-hatter, madcap tea parties taking place on these stunning pieces. They are clearly just a cast of fascinating characters awaiting new stories to be written around them. Oh the stories they are waiting to tell!
