Designer/brand: Kara Mann for McGuire

Few design styles evoke the same combination of comfort and flair as the earthy, craft-centric aesthetic of Californian design in the 1970s, which is what made it a natural source of inspiration for veteran designer Kara Mann when creating her furniture collection for the California-based furniture company McGuire. Mann’s new 24-piece range imbues a level of luxury and refinement to pieces that otherwise embrace a casual ease, whether its in their low profiles, vintage proportions or use of highly textured materials.
From the seductive Lattice chaise, which features a woven rattan frame and an olive-toned leather cushion, to the round edged Column desk and its monolithic silhouette, the collection brings the nostalgia of the past straight into the present day.
