Imaginarium Collection
The Artist’s Inspiration: Shifted Perspectives
We take inspiration from the Artist, the Intellectual, whose ability to see things differently inspires us and our society forward. An artist is prescient. Always working on the fringes of the zeitgeist, they seek to call out and inform on the state of society. On beauty that is to be discovered or darkness that looms. They unwittingly connect us with past traditions and an otherworldly element.
The designers at Freedom Tree have journeyed with the Artist into the dreamscape to create Imaginarium, a collection filled with new creative possibilities for the home. Here, lies a juxtaposition of old and new with unexpected contrasts in form, texture, and print. When we shift our perspective, we let the moments of surprise and delight joyfully unfold.
Our moodboard for the collection and our textile inspiration. We saw new possibilities as we literally shifted our perspective.
This collection is a creation that invokes curiosity and forces us to look, to question the nature of ‘reality’, and the reality of nature. Each piece in this collection, be it upholstery, votives, cushions, or furniture, shift our vantage point. They either play with scale, context or mood. Our imagination is roaring to be set loose… but will you let it?
Through the Looking Glass
We step through the looking glass with whimsical decor and figurines. The half-hewn forms of the Indus Bull and Indus Ram evoke a primitive and fleeting style. Fluted glass vases and votives with tinges of lavender heighten the distortion and sensation of new possibilities.
The Fluted Vase is ideal for a coffee or side table, it will beautifully enhance your favorite flower and plant arrangements. The tactile, ribbed surface of our Pink Fluted Vase (which can also be used as votives) is brought to life with a vivid splash of color, hand dipped to achieve its unique color gradient.
Narrative Windows into the Imagination
Our textiles are a narrative window into our dreams. This season, we’re showcasing possibilities and stories. The modern miniature style of illustration brings a contemporary flair to a traditional art form. Heighten the joy and warmth this festive season with bold, bright, and narrative textiles in your living room.
Modernature : Fractal Furniture Frozen in Movement
Can you imagine a confluence of signature Freedom Tree prints on modern, colorful furniture? Well, no need to overwork your mind’s eye - here they are! Frozen in movement, these inlay designs display fractal patterns inspired by the closest zoom into nature. A trippy contemporary tessellation artfully rendered by master craftsmen of a traditional inlay style.
Our Shifting Sands Coffee Table, like the sands of time, will never go out of style. The monochrome inlay pattern sinuously swirls all over beautiful natural mango wood, making it stand out from a sea of mundane coffee tables.
And just behold our Palash Inlay Table. The desk of your dreams is here! The Palash inlay table is the perfect desk to spark your creativity. Its sage coloring and patterned geometric inlay takes it beyond a traditional study table to a stunning focal point. Coming with three comfortably-sized drawers for storage, it’s the perfect spot to write the next Pulitzer winner, tick off that to-do list, or even just stand pretty.
Of course, if you are inlay lover, the piece that will really entice you is our Inlay Kiwatch Table. Colored in black, white, and aqua, it’s the bold centerpiece your living room needs - the epitome of artistic and decorative expression with a geometric inlay pattern that will draw all eyes.
