In Partnership With Maiden Home
The sun-dappled lens of the floor-to-ceiling windows at C-Glass House, by architects Deegan Day Design, in remote Northern California provides perfect framing for the new Maiden Home furniture collection.
Through the vast sheets of the modernist dwelling’s glass, Marin County light illuminates every detail of the ‘Thea’ chair’s steel frame and smooth curves. Refracted images of the ‘Arte Collection’ of coffee tables, desks and a dining table – all sculptural plywood, planar surfaces and angular silhouettes – provoke a conversation between form and space, while the crafted steel of the ‘Louis’ sideboard, with its glass-inlaid portholes, choreographs a subtle sun dance across the lounge space.
Maiden Home founder Nidhi Kapur selected the elegant simplicity, striking architecture and stark beauty of C-Glass House as the setting for the company’s fall/winter 2025 showcase – a contemporary prism of design engineering, craft and architecture where the house and furniture conspire to play with positive and negative space, and create handsome, dynamic contrasts.
The new Maiden Home collection reimagines elemental and humble materials: metals acquire a burnished and blackened finish, developed in-house and applied by master artisans; the full potential of cold-rolled steel, plywood, glass, and leather is realised.
Quality is key. The fabrics and leathers for the new designs are sourced from storied mills and tanneries. ‘Our new Costa Leather is crafted at a sixth-generation Italian tannery, and it has an incredibly soft texture that we're excited to bring into our archive of materials,’ says Kapur, ‘and our Alpine Leather is vegetable-tanned in France.’
Across the stools and dining armchairs in the ‘Calder’ collection, handcrafted in a New York atelier, brushed steel frames offer a soft grain and satin finish while fine French hide wraps the seats. The ‘Forma’ collection, handcrafted in North Carolina, comprises a low-lying and gently reclined modular sectional sofa and ottoman, each section masterfully upholstered and detailed with bespoke tufts.
View the collection online at maidenhome.com or experience select pieces in person at Maiden Home’s New York flagship, 34 Little West 12th Street, New York, NY 10014. A second Maiden Home flagship will open in September 2025 in the Miami Design District.
