LOS ANGELES — Lawson-Fenning, the Los Angeles-based custom furniture maker with showrooms in LA and New York, introduces Bosque, a 19-piece collection of upholstery and case goods debuting
during NYCxDesign on May 15, 2026. Bosque is made to order through both showrooms, with floor
pieces available for immediate purchase.
The collection takes its cues from the 1960s Japanese Metabolist movement, which imagined buildings as landscape structures that gave shape to the life around them. Lawson-Fenning took the same instinct and brought it down to the scale of a room. Bosque pieces are broad, low, and deliberately grounded, designed less as objects in a room than as the architecture of the room itself.
The name, Spanish for “forest”, points to the logic behind the collection. A forest isn’t one tree; it’s a
system, standing together, shaped by each other, making a place. Bosque is designed in the same way,
with pieces meant to live among other pieces, not to perform alone.
“Bosque started with this idea of furniture as built form — pieces that feel grounded, almost architectural, but still really livable,” says co-founder and Chief Design Officer Grant Fenning. “We kept coming back to the Japanese Metabolists and how they thought about structure as something both expressive and human.”
Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Glenn Lawson adds, “We were drawn to the clarity of the
Metabolist movement, but we didn’t want it to feel rigid. The goal was to take that sense of intention and permanence and soften it into something you actually want to live with every day.”
That softening runs throughout the collection, where nothing is sharp. Every edge has a radius, every leg
has a curve. Handmade hardware and hand-cut joinery reward a closer look. The upholstery is broad
enough to anchor a room; the tables are rooted, designed to feel as fixed as the trunk of a tree; the case
goods are substantial but quiet.
“There’s a tension we like between strong silhouettes and softer geometry,” Fenning says. “Nothing is
overly sharp. Everything has a radius or a curve, so the pieces feel welcoming even when they’re bold.”
Bosque is built in solid white oak and American walnut. Table tops are available in leather, wood, or
stone. The collection introduces three new finishes — Medium Oak, Light Oak, and Bleached Oak —
alongside the brand’s existing palette. Bosque is made entirely in the United States, by fabricators and
carpenters Lawson-Fenning has worked alongside for most of its twenty-five years.
Alongside the main collection, Lawson-Fenning is releasing a limited series of side tables — round and
square — in collaboration with New York ceramic artist Bruno Grizzo. Each features a hand-painted
ceramic top, individually made and custom-fit to the piece. “This collaboration with Lawson Fenning felt very natural to me because glazing has always been my favorite part of working with ceramics,” says Artist Bruno Grizzo.
The Bosque Collection will expand with lighting as part of Lawson-Fenning’s Fall 2026 launch.
