The pandemic may have prevented us from holding a physical Offsite this spring, but moving the show online has allowed us to help unite the design community and give it a much-needed creative and commercial outlet. View Offsite in its entirety here — including links to purchase many of the pieces on 1stdibs — but make sure to also follow along on our main feed and Instagram for more in-depth content over the coming weeks. Note that the show includes some 3-D renderings by digital artists like Stefano Giacomello, Charlotte Taylor, Victor Roussel, and Andres Reisinger, but every piece exists — or will soon — as a real object that you can specify. We hope you enjoy the fair! View Offsite Online on: Collections Atelier de Troupe Inspired by drifting tides, cyclical shades of light, and the long shadows of summer, Atelier de Troupe’s new collection is an exploration of movement and the elements of the sea.

Coil + Drift For his Hone collection, Coil + Drift’s John Sorensen-Jolink decided to dig into his archives and reinterpret existing designs — some in production, and others that had never seen the light of day. Cuff Studio For its Common Ground collection, Cuff Studio began by brainstorming the design elements that form a thread not only among their own pieces, but in the art and design world as a whole. Estudio Persona Estudio Persona’s Connection Collection started with the investigation of volume, and the idea to present elemental forms in a new and different way. Field Tiles In lieu of elaborate patterns, the HM01 collection gains personality from unique nuances and shading details — no two pieces are exactly alike. In Common With For the most part, In Common With’s collection takes two materials — glass, either hand- or mold-blown, and steel — and combines them in near infinite variations. Jackrabbit Studio In his Hudson Valley workshop, Brett Miller of Jackrabbit Studio creates work — primarily in wood — that explores his fascination with rounded, organic forms. Joris Poggioli For his Eden Paradiso collection, Joris Poggioli envisioned furnishing a majestic villa with minimal, modern designs that contrast an environment charged with history and memory. JUMBO JUMBO’s Creature Comfort collection is part of the studio’s ongoing research into the science of affect — how physical objects make us feel. Kalon Studios For their new furniture collection, Rugosa, Kalon Studios aimed to evoke the quiet contemplation and simplicity of a family beach house in Rhode Island. Lambert & Fils Lambert & Fils’s Dorval lamps are at first glance serious and industrial, but have a refined stylishness that make them perfectly suited to homes or offices. Lland Rachel Shillander’s new series is inspired by copper roof finials and plumbing pipes, the latter of which are normally hidden inside walls and here take center stage. Nazara Lázaro Nazara Lázaro’s Crooked Collection was borne of the one thing that might strike fear into the majority of designers’ hearts — no 90-degree angles, and no symmetry. Nicholas Hamilton Holmes Hamilton Holmes’s hand-painted Oxalino collection draws together disparate inspirations, from classical forms to meditation to old tattoos and French country. Oyyo Oyyo’s new Landing Site Irregular series employs leftover workshop yarns, resulting in a playful series of one-of-a-kind rugs. Pieces After debuting a collection in early 2020 for their shoppable Maine home, Pieces here reimagines those works in less kaleidoscopic, more washed-out tones. RISD This year’s RISD furniture MFA grads made “Poop Stools” and neon anemone ottomans, but the work is more sophisticated in execution than its playful conceptual starting points might suggest. SAIC Led by Pete Oyler and Jonah Takagi, the 2020 Whatnot Studio at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago addressed the concept of utopia. Seer Studio Seer Studio founder Scott Martin — who’s launching his collection widely for the first time with Offsite — was a touring musician and a cater-waiter before finding his true calling in design. Simon Johns Simon Johns works deep in the woods of Southern Quebec, at the top of the Appalachian mountains, and took the surrounding stone formations as inspiration for his new collection. Studio POA Studio POA’s new work hovers between the gestural qualities of art, the technology of 3-D rendering, and the craft of sculpting materials like ceramic, glass, wood, and sand by hand. Supaform Supaform’s Fancy-Routine collection is its first to trade loud colors for a natural rusted metal palette, and yet the Russian studio’s signature style is still evident in the work’s Brutalism-meets-the-’80s influence. Tantuvi The abstract color fields in Tantuvi’s new Travertine collection reference ancient rock formations in Rajasthan, and their naturally occurring layers of color and texture.

Anahit Pogosian Anahit Pogosian’s Classical Collection is a tribute to ancient water vessels but each piece is designed to function solely as a vase or sculptural object. Another Human Leah Ring’s Magical Evolution collection is a series of one-of-kind glass sconces that play with fusion, transparency, reflection and light.
