"For just over a decade, Radnor has occupied a distinctive space within New York City's ever-evolving design scene. Though having literally moved around different unconventional storefronts and expansive penthouses - launching the staged residence/gallery trend in many respects - the itinerant platform has maintained a closely curated approach: one centered on material experimentation, reinterpreted artisanal tradition, and subtle artistic expression. Tying together its diverse offering - one-off and limited edition furnishings carefully sourced from independent makers practicing around the world -"
"The Contra Sofa and Pinna Dining Table series distill from her shrewd ability to promote a more transcendent and timeless form of contemporary design but also her own hands-on training in glassblowing, metal fabrication, textile weaving, and woodworking. Like the precision-crafted designs she's long purveyed - and in some cases, helped produce - these substantive, surely heirloom pieces are about better facilitating everyday life, not propagating singular statements."
Radnor functions as an itinerant, closely curated platform focused on material experimentation, reinterpreted artisanal tradition, and subtle artistic expression. The offering consists of one-off and limited-edition furnishings sourced from independent makers around the world and emphasizes especially refined, fundamental shapes. Founder Susan Clark launched the Contra Sofa and Pinna Dining Table series with Design Within Reach, drawing on hands-on training in glassblowing, metal fabrication, textile weaving, and woodworking. The resulting pieces are precision-crafted, heirloom-minded designs intended to facilitate everyday life through thoughtful construction, attention to detail, and compositional restraint that allows human experience to coexist with objects.
