Organic contours coupled with luxurious materials, the designs of the British brand, OCHRE, strike a mood that falls into step with the gloaming of fall days to come. Perhaps best known for their lighting, OCHRE is understated elegance. Discreet though it may try to be, however, the work of designers Joanna Bibby, Harriet Maxwell Macdonald and Solenne de la Fouchardière possess such exquisite features that they still manage to be the center of attention in any interior setting.
Among their most iconic designs, the Seed Cloud reflects the subdued glamour as well as versatility OCHRE is known for. The mesmeric light holding strands of solid cast bronze buds each house a glass, jewel-like pods. A Seed Cloud installation can be made up of any combination of these drops and in custom dimensions to create a bolder, sculptural statement over a dining room table or a smaller grouping for a quieter moment in a corner. By contrast the Cloud is a simple pendant light with a three-tier fine woven metallic fabric shade creating a shape that appears to float and shimmer overhead.
The upholstered range of OCHRE is a testament to the brand’s commitment to function, craftsmanship and comfort without forgoing the beautiful silhouettes they are known for. The refined, organic forms reflect the way nature smooths edges over time, making these pieces the perfect foil for the modern home.
