Our next entry is a bit of a throwback: the 2012 collaboration between Brad Pitt and Pollaro Custom Furniture. Together, they crafted a line of furniture that was not only stunning in its design but also impeccable in its craftsmanship.
A Star’s Vision Meets Masterful Craftsmanship
Brad Pitt, renowned for his acting career, is also an avid architecture and design enthusiast. His collaboration with Frank Pollaro, a master furniture maker known for his meticulous attention to detail, brought Brad’s creative vision to life. The partnership began serendipitously when Pollaro delivered a custom desk to Pitt, sparking a shared passion for design and resulting in this extraordinary furniture collection.
The Collection: Artistry in Every Piece
The Brad Pitt and Pollaro collection featured a range of furniture that combines contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship. Each piece was meticulously handcrafted, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. Here are some standout pieces from the 11 piece collection:
The Shell Chair: This iconic chair features a sleek, organic design inspired by natural forms. Made from hand-selected hardwood and finished with a high-gloss lacquer, it’s a perfect blend of comfort and elegance.
The City Lights Table: A stunning dining table with a base inspired by the skyline of a city at night. The intricate design and use of mixed materials make it a true conversation piece.
The Twist Table: With its sculptural, twisting base and clear glass top, this table embodies modern sophistication and adds a dynamic element to any space.
Our Thoughts on This Collection
At Smith Interior Design, we are always drawn to pieces that combine beauty, functionality, and a rich backstory. While the Brad Pitt and Pollaro collaboration does just that, the style is more reminiscent of a modern or industrial aesthetic, while we prefer a more transitional vibe. However, it does make quite the statement when added to any space due to its:
Unique Design: Each piece in the collection is a work of art, designed to make a bold statement in any room. The designs are innovative, pushing the boundaries of traditional furniture aesthetics.
Exceptional Craftsmanship: Pollaro’s reputation for quality craftsmanship is evident in every piece. The meticulous attention to detail ensures that each item is not only beautiful but also built to last.
The collaboration between Brad Pitt and Pollaro Custom Furniture is a testament to the power of merging artistic vision with skilled craftsmanship. While this collection is no longer available, the pieces were show stopping and a surefire conversation starter at any party!
