Tabletop sculpture in brushed brass inspired by proportions of the Golden Ratio
Located in London, GB
'Aurora' by British sculptor Thomas Joynes is based on the Golden Ratio, with perfectly proportioned flowing curves. The original concept was developed as part of a commission for The Crown Estate in London, where it was displayed in a foyer with a tall, narrow window to the street. This version has been made from brushed brass and set on a granite plinth (25x25x5cm). Thomas Joynes first discovered his love of making as a boy when he explored the woodlands of rural Essex in England, using his hands to craft bows and arrows - and tree houses. During his Foundation course, he was drawn to working with Plaster of Paris – casting, moulding and carving large solid blocks of it. His work is clearly influenced by 20th -century masters, such as Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp and Naum Gabo, but to these he brings his own sense of movement and dynamism. Major projects include public art commissions, such as a three-metre high bronze sculpture for a Metro station in Hong Kong. Functional sculpture projects include a set of bespoke gates and a three-metre wide, wall-hung, contemporary sundial. Most usually his work is commissioned for outside locations, such as gardens, courtyards and landscapes but increasingly he has turned his attention towards work that sits happily within an interiors scheme, using finishes such as polished bronze and 24ct gold gilding.

Contemporary Handblown Murano Glass Sculpture by Michela Cattai, Italy, 2017
Located in Milano, IT
This unique glass sculpture belongs to a three-piece series called Striati, created by Michela Cattai and executed in Murano, Venice, Italy in 2017. Its asymmetrical shape recalls distant and ancestral landscapes, capturing the essence of remote eras. The fusion of lines and curves evokes a sense of perpetual motion, conveying the continuous evolution of life. The fragility of life is represented through the medium itself: glass. The transparency and luminosity of the material symbolise the delicacy and preciousness of existence. Each layer of glass is like a page in the story of life, with its imperfections and extraordinary facets. The inspiration for this work comes from an African fertility doll...

Antique, New and Vintage Decorative Objects

Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style. 

Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.

Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation. Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?

Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”

To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.
