Contemporary Meets 18th-Century: Bold Furniture by Squint
Written by Beth Flanagan
Featured in Elle and Instyle magazines, the Heritage & Bespoke Collections by Squint are out of this world.
Exquisite designs integrate traditional Old World couture craftsmanship - that vanishing world of embroiders, dyers, and hand sewers - with the finest of historical English design. Made in London, each piece is created by hand with tied springs and hand-stitched seams.
The Heritage Collection was inspired by elegant 18th century English design. The sofa’s frames are also handmade with dowelled joints and carved mahogany legs. Fabrics include woven English damask and satin with Swarovski rose crystal and pearl detailing.
The unique color palette of gold, silver, powder blue, peppery orange, key lime green, and tomato red, combined with historical French trimmings and woven silver & gold thread gives each piece an eclectic attitude in an Old World body.
The Bespoke Collection has a wide range of items, such as Chesterfield sofas and iconic Egg chairs. Splashed with contemporary and vintage charm, these electrifying pieces combine indigo, sapphire & sky blues, lemon yellow, cherry, apple & scarlet reds, sea foam green, hot pinks, lime green, ebony, and burnt orange. The combination of corduroys, satins, damasks in solids, prints and stripes all on one sofa is incredibly provocative.
Each piece is a work of art. Materials are handmade by Squint and final mix of colors & fabrics designed by the customer.
What others have said
These wild and innovative designs definitely would look at home in some of the more spacious and lavish mansions of the rich and famous. I'm thinking that Stevie Wonder in particular would be best suited to apreciate these.
I don't get it. Are these designs meant to go with anything or to go with nothing. I can't imagine finding a color scheme for carpet and drapes to match these crazy patchworks.

Perfect is really all I can effectively add to this article. The sofas look beautiful and even though they are somewhat unusual I feel they would fit into many interior designs.
