Lewis has achieved almost cult status in the design world for her effortless, California cool aesthetic. And fans of this signature look won’t be disappointed with what they see from this range, which, as a whole, has a warm palette, earthy textures and plenty of bespoke detailing, including exposed joinery, bun feet, reeds and mouldings. In addition, Lewis definitely expands its scope with this range, drawing on English Country style with traces of Scandinavian, Italian and Old Spanish style. You’ll find pieces in almost every major furniture category, including dining, upholstery, outdoor and decorative accessories. And the materials? Think handsome, tactile touches that all play well together, from wrought iron and solid oak and pine to crisp terracotta and boucle.
“The collection represents the perfect harmony between Amber’s visions and Four Hands’ approach to thoughtfully constructed design,” says Adam Dunn, vice president of design at Four Hands, in a press release announcing the launch. “In designing true investment pieces that are influenced by various design eras, we aim to help homeowners and designers seamlessly blend styles to create unique spaces that feel like home.”
Although the objects and sofas/seating stand out as highlights of the collaboration, it would be remiss not to mention the artistic offerings as well. One aspect of Four Hands’ business specializes in hand-finished, museum-quality reproduction prints made in partnership with independent artists from the brand’s Texas studio, and the Amber collection features works by artists selected by Lewis herself, including her mother, Lori Marie. , mixed media painter. This makes this range personal and special, as well as the fact that Lewis has sourced from Four Hands for her projects over the years.
“It’s been an incredible journey working with Four Hands to bring my dream collection to life,” says Lewis in a press release. “The creative process was like catching lightning in a bottle, and Adam immediately understood my aesthetic and how to realize our shared vision.”
Piece prices start at $179 and go up to just under $10,000 for a very large dining banquette. The idea is to make these objects a modern heirloom, so they are made to last and be beautifully patinated over time.
