As the final days of October approach, we find ourselves drawn to the dark arts of design. Throughout our collection, black finishes lend familiar forms an air of mystery, drama, and a little magic. In anticipation of All Hallows’ Eve, this week we’re sharing five designs with a spellbinding presence, each with its own particular kind of dark allure.

| CH66 |
| Nicos Zographos |
| Otherworldly, extremely chic, and a little goth, the CH66 reimagines the cantilever chair with a distinctive double curve that gives its profile a sense of movement. A steel frame traces the silhouette, while taut saddle leather shapes the seat and back. The result is a study in modernist precision, with a little unexpected drama in the back. |

| ALICE |
| Jean-Marie Massaud |
| Jean-Marie Massaud plays with transparency and perception in the Alice cocktail table. Its smoked glass construction forms a compact, geometric volume, with a honeycomb structure concealed within and small chrome-plated feet levitating the table just above the floor. A study in transparency and shadow, Alice shifts subtly with the light, resulting in an air of quiet intrigue. Available in multiple sizes. |

| PH LOUNGE |
| Poul Henningsen |
| With its sweeping steel frame and distinctive circular details, Poul Henningsen’s PH Lounge Chair has the sculptural presence of an object discovered in a shadowy, cinematic interior. Designed in 1932, its continuous line of serpentine tubing curves around an upholstered seat and back, creating a silhouette that is both spare and strangely spellbinding. Pair with the PH Lounge Table to create a bewitching mood. |

| EROS |
| Angelo Mangiarotti |
| Dark Emperador marble brings a brooding richness to Angelo Mangiarotti’s Eros dining table, its natural veining appearing like ink suspended in stone. The sculptural legs lock into the tabletop through a gravity-based joint, with no clamps or adhesives to interrupt the form. Solid, elemental, and quietly dramatic, Eros has the presence of an ancient artifact reimagined for the modern interior. |

 |
| KEEN |
| Linda Korndal |
| With its skeletal frame and rhythmic lines, Keen brings its towering architectural form to the contemporary interior. Open shelves appear to float within the structure, creating a graphic framework for treasured objects, collected curiosities, and sculptural forms. Modular by design, it can grow and shift with the room, like a shadow that changes shape. Shelves available in wood or glass. |
