I recently bought a faceted backyard stool for my living space. I surprised even myself with this selection. I had always thought of faceted designs as rather gimmicky. However, now I’m fascinated with those jewel-like pieces and’m enjoying their elegance and versatility. When you dig deeper, you’ll find original faceted furnishings, lighting and fabrics which are similar to works of art in their own right. Take a look at my favorites so far. — Lucy from Four Walls and a Roof
PAC Side Table – $950
I would use this bright red side table to inject some lighthearted energy into a industrial space or to add design to a family room. It comes as a coffee table too.
PLANTATION
Faceted Ceramic Stool, White – $395
This really is the stool which got me hooked. We’re using it as a table, but it will serve as seats for extra guests sometimes too.
The Paris Apartment
Faceted Lucite Table – $1,325
Here’s a set of faceted side tables at a smoky gray perspex with mirrored tops. It’s like a contemporary riff on an uptown flat classic, the mirrored coffee table.
PLANTATION
Crane Table – $1,095
Proving that tough borders can nevertheless have an organic sense, this side table looks inspired by pinecones. This piece definitely has an irresistible tactile quality to it.

VOLT Table
Ok, it’s bright yellow and contains uneven sides, so why would it still look stylish? Maybe it’s the careful structure needed for faceted furniture, however these pieces always have a certain existence.

Accordion Cabinet
All these accordion cabinets are works of art. I love the contrast of this unfinished wood with the thoughtful layout. Wouldn’t these be great at a Scandinavian-style kitchen? Or a midcentury dining room? Or a spacious bath? OK, pretty much anywhere.
The Carroll Street Woodworkers
No. 202 Coffee Table – $2,200
This unfinished timber is laid diagonally to create a beautifully-constructed java table with cutouts for storage and seating. I can imagine my children would like that as a play table, although I’m sure it’s intended to get a much more grownup space.

Five Chunk Modern Pendant Chandelier Solid Walnut By dylangrey – $950
I’ve had these lights in my ideabook for months. They have a lot to appreciate about them. Hand-carved chunks of timber replace conventional crystal chandelier drops, while the red cables add a surprise component. The wires come in different colours too.
Industreal
Lampe 72dpi – EUR 227.50
I believed that this light fixture for my kitchen when I renovated. Even though the heavy texture likely wouldn’t suit the purpose (I’m convinced it would prohibit grease from cooking) the layout is eye-catching. I love that it resembles sugar cubes — light and sweetness!
arkpad
Luminária Rock
Here’s a dim light. The irregular faceted sides of the necklace seem like crumpled paper. I can imagine this lending plenty of play to some rustic-modern kitchen.
Lee Broom
Crystal Bulb – GBP 189
It’s the classic good looks of cut glass and gold, combined in a wholly new way. Light bulbs made to seem like crystal — or is it the other way round? Either way, it’s genius.

These pendants were inspired by Art Deco jewellery. They’d certainly add some glamour to a room.
Architonic
BuzziSkin 3D Tile By BuzziSpace
Faceted tiles are an effortless way to add texture to a space. This bright red would be too much for a kitchen or bathroom, but for a commercial setup or to highlight a characteristic like a storage area, it would seem amazing.
Elisa Strozyk
Cosmetic Dentistry With Dyed Wood
This faceted textile is really made from pieces of timber. It’s flexible enough to be utilized as a throw or blanket and I love the subtle blend of colours.
Pierre Frey
Kubus Fabric
There’s evidence of Art Deco inspiration in this geometric cloth. A set of cushions in this would pull a living space together.
Design Within Reach
Crushed Bowl – $110
I have this bowl and completely love it. I’m afraid it ends up amassing stray Legos and Hot Wheels cars, but if it’s empty it makes the most beautiful display piece.

DORIT White Gold Decorative Wood Candle Holders By PELLEshop – $150
Simple wood block candle holders get glammed up with faceted sides and a little silver. They’d be great for a holiday party, or simply to add some simple sparkle to your everyday table.

These vases are quirky. They seem like geometric eggs which have just hatched. We might be past Easter, but they’d make a great screen year-round.

Amethyst Geometric Facet Art Print By thepairabirds – $20
It is a print made with images and woodgrain. It captures the concept of light reflecting through a precious stone.

Wondering what this is? It’s a mouse! If by now you’re devoted to the faceted appearance, this is the tech attachment for you. I can’t say whether it’s comfortable to use or not, but it certainly makes a statement.
