Rikyu Collection by Ted Boerner

June 18th, 2009

The Rikyu Collection, designed by Ted Boerner for Conde House, is distinctive and original. Each piece is designed to delight the eye, engage the imagination, and comfort the body.

Ted Boerner combined many design elements to create the Dining Table, echoing temple architecture and bridge design. From its cast iron base to its solid wood top, the Dining Table speaks of strength.

The Tsukashi Table is Ted Boerner’s interpretation of a column resting upon a stone. With strong juxtaposition of round and square, this striking table makes a serene statement.

Inspired by the Japanese teahouse, the Rikyu Lounge Chair is the embodiment of serenity and restfulness. Its sides are richly textured, resembling wood grain or the raked sand of a Zen garden. Openings on the sides of the arm are reminiscent of the entry to the teahouse, Boerner’s nod to the concept of “Ma,” the transition from public to private.

The Rikyu Arm Chair (offered in Walnut and White Oak) features the same textured surface as the Rikyu Lounge. With its sturdy profile and handsome finish, it perfectly complements the Dining Table.
