Emily Thurman Presents "Hundō"

Salt Lake City–based designer Emily Thurman is pleased to present Hundō, her first-ever collection of furniture, lighting, and sculptural objects. Running May 15–21, with a namesake exhibition on the second floor of 86 Walker Street in Lower Manhattan, Thurman’s line of collectible design marks a stunning debut from one of the industry’s fastest-rising talents, exemplifying an honest and craft-forward approach to creation and collaboration.

Forming a total environment, Hundō comprises an eponymous series of lost-wax bronze upholstered pieces, including a daybed, lounge chair, ottomans (in two sizes, grande and petite); the Cast-Glass Smoking Table; the Judo Sculptural Table; the Torrey Desk; the Translucent Porcelain Sconce Pair; the Convivium Center Table (designed in collaboration with StudioDanielK); the Toteme Standing Lamps (made in collaboration with Alexis Mazin); and three mobiles (made in collaboration with Camille Tan/Atelier Falaise), titled Suspension 53, 54, and 55.

In its multisensory display on Walker Street, Thurman’s premier of Hundō will feature an installation of cascading raw silk conceived with scenographer Peter Christensen, as well as an ambient soundscape and rare collectible smalls sourced by Past Lives Studio. Conceptually, this environment and process mirror how Thurman curates her interior projects: layered in bespoke furniture, lighting, and vintage finds.
