True design lovers can't limit their aesthetic crushes to furniture and patterns. So we're spotlighting the designers that make us blush.We were smitten as soon as we spotted Evan and Oliver in the J. Crew catalog, with those scruffy beards trying to toughen up their soulful eyes. And as it turns out, these guys only model in their time off: They're the designers behind Brooklyn-based design partnership hOmE.
While the brothers Haslegrave primarily focus on restaurant and shop design, they've posted some of their custom furniture to their site, including this staircase/bookshelf. Every inch of this piece is functional but the different lengths of the shelves lends it enough whimsy to keep it from looking too stiff.
And their commercial spaces are no less charming. Again, they maintain a beautiful look while keeping things no-frills. Here's the Manhattan shop Against Nature with the signature hOmE look: A little bit of taxidermy, mixed woods and an industrial-meets-cozy vibe.
