Umo

As much a sculptural object as an accent table, Umo adds utility and visual warmth to any space. Designer Brandon Walker playfully combined geometry and form in the fully wood piece, juxtaposing curved shapes with angular cutouts. Yet perhaps the most beguiling is the unexpected detail, including the pillar-like legs that rise up to form arched porticos where they meet the table’s underside.

Function

Umo lends function and texture to lounges, work nooks, and spaces that blur the lines between residential and commercial. It can serve as an occasional table or a beautiful sculpture.

Options

  • Side and coffee table
  • 4 wood finishes
  • maple, oak, walnut, opaque black

Construction

The top and legs consist of domestically sourced solid wood boards, glued together with formaldehyde-free adhesive. Opaque Black finish is a red oak species with an ebony stain. All options utilize a clear coat finish. Each leg has a felt glide.

Designed by Brandon Walker

A job building architectural models made Brandon Walker realize that he wanted to design furniture. “It is the perfect melding of my interests,” explains Walker, who had studied painting and sculpture as an undergraduate. “It has the creativity that drives me as an artist but includes the more functional aspect of architecture.” After completing an MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design, Walker joined Stylex in 2014. Now a senior designer, he continues to combine beauty and practicality. “A design’s most important aspect is longevity,” he says. “Being around for a long time, being used across generations, and being appreciated by people.” Walker lives in the greater Philadelphia area.
