Eight gallery-like living rooms with sculptural furniture pieces

Eight gallery-like living rooms with sculptural furniture pieces

For our latest lookbook, we’ve collected living rooms that feature sculptural furniture in homes from São Paulo to London.

An undulating sofa, a lamp made from towering columns and a wiggly chair are among the sculptural furniture pieces in this lookbook, which showcases how they can be used to add more interest to living rooms.

In pared-back interiors, these furniture designs can add a playful touch and make the rooms feel more special, while also giving them a gallery-like feel.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring rooms dominated by dark-wood furniture, well-designed hallways and contemporary green bathrooms.
