GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Seating is the focus of three new pieces from designer and artist Sarah Sherman Samuel, creator of SSS Atelier. Included in the new collection are the Alba sofa and chair and the Kamp chair, all of which are informed by Samuel’s youth in Western Michigan.
“I’m thrilled to bring seating to my atelier collection with the introduction of our Alba sofa and lounge chair and Kamp dining chairs,” said Samuel. “An extension of our current collection of tables and case goods, the seating is also inspired by the landscape of my childhood and endless summer days spent outside.
“In my interior work, I am often trying to bring the magic of the natural world indoors, so it was apt to have my furniture designs reflect the same,” she said.
The upholstered Alba sofa and chair, with petallike box pleating, were inspired by the Michigan wildflower Prenanthesalba, while the more utilitarian Kamp chair, constructed of white oak, leather and brass with an upholstered stretcher, evokes favorite childhood memories “of nights spent under the stars,” she said. The pieces range in price from $1,950 to $12,500.
Samuel’s collection is available through her website at sssatelier.com and at Colony in New York, which features furniture, lighting and textiles from independent producers.
