The Roger Thomas Collection at Stone Yard, Inc. offers durable yet lightweight designs designed to withstand the natural elements. Each piece highlights Thomas’ acute attention to detail as well as his personal passions for travel and art with globally inspired design motifs to create sophisticated spaces:
CITY BLOCK
Bold, sleek, and versatile, the City Block cocktail table and side table has a beveled grid design that exudes simplicity and strength, ideal as a dramatic accent for both indoor and outdoor settings. Inspired by the foundation of the 15th-century Ca del Duca Sforza in Venice, the tables seamlessly blend tradition with modernity for timeless appeal. The cocktail table’s oval shape is an attractive solution for hospitality and residential spaces, allowing for fluid movement around designated seating areas.
PIRAMIDE
Inspired by the elegance of 1930s Paris interiors and the enchanting play of light and shadow seen on a 13th-century door in Parma, Italy, Piramide captures classic proportions with a modern twist, marrying simplicity with innovation for a truly captivating piece.
BOIS
Bois’ deep wood grain texture is taken from the Edo period craftsmanship showcased in a piece from Roger Thomas’ personal collection. The planter features an engaging pinwheel form with simplistic rotation resulting in a dynamic final shape.
DAMA
Dama, named after the Italian translation for “checkers”, applies classical proportions and a deep texture to the foundational diamond pattern. Paying homage to the lattice seen in French gardens, the grid and vertical ribbing evoke sophistication and depth, creating an eye-catching interplay of light and shadow across its surface.
DIAMONTE
Drawing inspiration from 20th-century Milanese architecture, Diamonte’s elongated diamond panel pays homage to the genius of Piero Portaluppi. The planter adds a touch of sophistication to any space, from personal homes to grand outdoor terraces and poolsides.
