Landscape Forms introduces “Windmark” by Architect Margaret McCurry
Windmark Chair by Margaret McCurryA striking chair and table collection is added to the Landscape Forms varied product line, Windmark seems at once familiar and entirely new. It brings ideas from the past into the present. Bold geometric shapes with softening ornamental detail make the collection a fine compliment to contemporary architecture. Windmark mixes materials and revels in them, combining and juxtaposing them in fresh ways. Precise in form, it has humor and warmth. Highly sophisticated, it is also welcoming. Windmark brings a light touch to site furniture that is built to wear and endure and meets Landscape Forms stringent standards of quality and performance. Read the press release.
