Maison Madeleine’s exquisite, clam-inspired seating puts the beauty into barstools. Creator Leah Cumming is an interior designer who has worked for many notable brands, and who draws on her formative years in Paris to conceive heirloom-worthy, contemporary furniture with a Francophile flair. Hand-carved in Los Angeles using alder wood, the Seaside Shell Barstool’s organic form cocoons the sitter, while its circular base is a beautiful feat of engineering.
