Bernhardt Design’s Larkin collection is a great example of the former category. The office furniture launch is characterized by clean lines and sophisticated material choices. Nik Bentel, on the other hand, represents the latter category. The new Tea for Two Collection by Nik + Kort delivers unique tableware, inspired by the sensibilities of the surrealist movement. The capsule boasts a double-spouted teapot and two slanted teacups with mutated teaspoons.

Other products in the March 2025 modern design round-up balance these two categories. Mackenzie-Childs, for instance, debuted the Mocha Check Collection which utilizes Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year — Mocha Mousse — while the Praia Beach Chair puts the modern in vintage with its convenient and durable features.
