Clearly Classic: White Webb Launches New Collection of Occasional Tables

Design Log

11 Apr

Matthew White and Frank Webb announce the launch of a new collection of acrylic occasional tables called The Clearly Classic Collection by White Webb. Inspired by the architecture and decorative arts of select ancient cultures, these practical and petite tables provide a chic element to nearly any room in the house.

“Finding the perfect little piece can often be a very big challenge,” says Frank Webb. “Choices are fairly limited for those essential occasional furnishings where you want great style, but in a quiet way,” adds Matthew White. Enter Clearly Classic. By melding classical design motifs with crystal-clear material, White Webb has created a line of chair-side and small cocktail tables that offer great function and an undeniable glamour. Their subtle beauty blends, rather than competes, with more important pieces in the room.

Reinterpreting ancient designs in a way that is fresh and exciting is a White Webb trademark. At the heart of their collaboration is Matthew’s passion for antiquity and Frank’s for streamlined, modern design. This creative tension expresses itself in interesting ways, especially in this new furniture collection. By taking classical designs that evoke ancient Rome, India and China and executing them in a glamorous, modern material, the duo has created jewel-like tables that bring new life to virtually any interior.

The Hadrian table takes its inspiration from the classical arches of ancient Rome. A projecting keystone set atop each of the arches accentuates the simplicity of the design and provides added dimensionality through its beautiful refraction of light.

The Alexander table is based on historic designs from India. With its exotic, pointed arch, it suggests the monumental portal of a Mughal palace while a clean, rectangular silhouette is crisp and tailored. TheAlexander table comes in three sizes: small, medium, and the rectangular, double version.

White Webb’s Ming table recalls garden seats from ancient China. With its soft, rounded lines, it feels pleasingly grounded, offering a peaceful, contemplative quality.

These sparkling tables become a quiet, ethereal element, adding light and life to rooms whether they be traditional or modern. They are ideal at chair-side to rest a drink, but also look wonderful clustered in groups in front of a sofa.

A number of years ago, some daring clients commissioned us to design a pair of garden benches in the mode of our former Intaglio furniture line.  Starting with a fanciful, antique engraving, we magnified its scale and silk-screened it onto some monumental metal forms.  Suddenly, an old design was given new life in a way that blurred the lines between traditional and modern.⁠

🇮🇹You can stay at this aristocratic villa in the Veneto region of Italy, available for rent with @dimore_storiche_italiane from €10-€16K / week. Villa Emo Capodilista can sleep up to 12 in 7 bedrooms. With a commanding position within the La Montecchia wine estate, the villa is surrounded by vineyards and offers panoramic views over the Colli Euganei hills near Padua and Venice. The historic villa boasts lavish and light-filled reception rooms, frescoed loggias for alfresco dining, and manicured Italian gardens, where you can marvel at its striking late-Renaissance facade. Originally a hunting lodge, the villa was built in 1568, commissioned by Gabriele Capodilista and designed by Dario Variotari, a Renaissance painter, sculptor, and architect who apprenticed under Veronese, one of the most celebrated Venetian painters of his day. The villa features original 16th century hand-painted frescoed walls and 18th century trompe l'oeil works depicting the family history, ancient Roman depictions as well as mythological scenes, along with friezes and grotesques. The Mannerist frescoe works in the villa are attributed to Variotari and Aliense, grotesques by Eliodoro Forbincini, and a tragedy by Luigi Groto, engraved in the west loggia. There are 100 cherubs across the villa, said to protect all those who stay. The villa is still owned by the same family, and has been converted into an elegant country retreat with all of the modern luxuries. The villa is adjacent to its 14 acre walled garden with a private pool, and is available for rent with concierge service available to arrange a personal chef, wine tastings, housekeeping, or a round of golf at the 27-hole @golfdellamontecchia nearby. Italian art history lovers can find the listing link on the blog!
