First popular in the 17th century, we’ve fallen in love all over again with the knobbly turned detailing of bobbin-legged furniture. This delightfully detailed sunroom, designed by Melinda Hartwright, perfectly demonstrates how this period detail can look contemporary against a backdrop of crisp white architecture and neutral tones.
“I love incorporating bobbin furniture in my designs, whether it be a bobbin chair, sweet side table or console,” says Melinda. “The bobbin shape gives such a unique and pretty character to furniture items and adds another layer of interest and depth to a room. It’s not as formal as a turned leg, so suits more casual rooms and can take the stuffiness out of a formal room as well”. |
