"View Slideshow\n\nMidcentury-modern design has enjoyed a long run in the popularity polls, especially among young, style-driven buyers, but some find it a bit spare. DwellStudio has a solution. Its first-ever collection of furnishings\u2014created for Precedent, a division of Sherrill Furniture\u2014reinterprets classic shapes of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, then \"amps up the luxe and glamour factor,\" says DwellStudio founder and creative director Christiane Lemieux.\n\nTypical of the posh finishes offered in the 50-piece line, which launches in September, is the faux-shagreen surface of the Milo cocktail table. \"We took inspiration from Tom Ford's movie A Single Man, but it's not buttoned up\u2014it's hip and loose,\" says Lemieux, who started DwellStudio in 2000 as a bedding company replete with mod patterns. Crave something a bit playful? The Mallory chair sports exaggerated wings and comes in any DwellStudio fabric, including a snazzy ikat.\n\nLemieux's lively taste is also on view in Undecorate: The No-Rules Approach to Interior Design (Clarkson Potter), a book that celebrates a casual aesthetic. The Precedent line, she says, stays true to her style guide's underlying concept. \"Undecorate is all about putting your look together in an organic way, and the furniture collection gives people the ability to create a personal interior,\" Lemieux explains, adding that the pieces are for \"the person who wants clean and modern, but with a decorator level of options and finishes. You can go ahead and mix extreme patterns if you're feeling bold.\" And at prices ranging from $600 to $3,000, everybody can get in on the action.\n\nClick here to see a selection of pieces from DwellStudio's new furniture collection."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
