Two Unusual Items Crafted from the Safe: Surreal Chairs and Custom-Made Pajamas
In a surprising twist, the world of luxury fashion is seeing a resurgence in the appreciation for old-fashioned nightwear. Mark Ellwood, editor-at-large of our website, sheds light on this trend, focusing on a high-end bespoke pajama set and a pair of unique chairs.
The chairs, known as the 'Homme' Chairs, are a limited-edition creation by artist Ruth Francken. Despite extensive research, there seems to be a gap in the available information about these chairs, with no documented story or context in art collections or design catalogues.
Ruth Francken, an artist with a substantial body of work and exhibitions, is not typically associated with furniture design. However, these exquisite 'Homme' Chairs, now part of The Vault's offerings this week, are a testament to her subversive approach to creative practice.
The 'Homme' Chairs, man-made in design, are almost 40 years old yet in very good condition. They are a part of Atlas Bespoke's extensive collection, and their availability for inquiry encourages readers to delve deeper into this intriguing find.
Meanwhile, the bespoke pajama set is a product of an exclusive N.Y.C.-based atelier. Mark Ellwood, who covers luxury in various forms worldwide, encourages readers to inquire about this high-end nightwear, further emphasising the growing appreciation for old-fashioned nightwear as a luxury item.
In a world where fast fashion dominates, the trend of opting for old-fashioned nightwear and investing in unique, timeless pieces like the 'Homme' Chairs offers a refreshing perspective on luxury.
The rising appreciation for vintage nightwear extends beyond the fashion-and-beauty realm, as luxury enthusiasts are increasingly considering unique, timeless pieces like the exquisite bespoke pajama set. On the other hand, home-and-garden enthusiasts are intrigued by the limited-edition 'Homme' Chairs, a distinctive blend of art and design that challenges traditional creative practices.
