Barovier&Toso
Few brands that exist today can claim to predate the Italian Renaissance, but Murano, Italy-based lighting company Barovier&Toso is one such brand. Founded in 1295 by the Barovier family, Barovier&Toso is credited as the world’s sixth-oldest business still in operation. For over 20 generations, these glassmakers have become masters in the art of Venetian glass. Many of the family’s early creations reside in museums and private art collections all over the world. In the 13th century, Jacobello Barovier became the first member of the family to begin working in glass. Around this time, an edict required all glassmakers in Venice to move to Murano, as all the glass furnaces were concentrated there. It is believed that the Barovier family established themselves in Murano in the early 1290s, and later records indicate the Toso family became a notable presence in Murano around 1350. The Barovier and Toso families joined forces in 1939, on the cusp of WWII, to become the glass powerhouse Barovier&Toso. At the time of the merger, the Barovier business was thriving under the creative direction of the legendary Ercole Barovier, employing new glassmaking techniques and unique types of glass. His designs are still in use today, including the Rostrato technique, which can be seen on the brand’s iconic Venezia 1295 chandelier. Erocles’ innovative approach to glassmaking still inspires Barovier&Toso’s designs for new pieces and collections.

Edwin Maldonado
Los Angeles-based leather artisan Edwin Maldonado is a master of the lost art of traditional French leather upholstery. Edwin sculpts leather over wood and metal frames using a technique of wetting and steaming hides. His skill at manipulating and hand-finishing leather has been perfected over decades of working for luxury furniture brands. Maldonado grew up in West Los Angeles. He was an ambitious child but had difficulty finding an outlet for his creative energy. A passion for classic cars in his early teens helped focus his artistic drive; he was drawn to the car customization scene and found he had an aptitude for reupholstering car interiors. His early career was focused on leather upholstery for classic cars. It wasn’t until he met an expert artisan in French leather upholstery that his true path emerged. With the guidance of this mentor, Edwin became a master of this technique. He perfected his craft by creating high-end furniture pieces for luxury brands, antique dealers, and LA-based interior designers. Through the encouragement of a fellow artist, a path emerged, giving Edwin the push to incubate and present his own designs under his own name. He took the leap in 2021 and formed a small but exquisite collection, synthesizing classic French leather techniques with bold designs. Coup d’Etat is honored to be Maldonado’s exclusive West Coast representative.
Entrelacs
ENTRELACS is the quintessential expression of craftsmanship honed since 1982. To refine pure natural alabaster into raw, simple shapes, each piece is subtly framed in real casted bronze.

Based near Le Mans, France, in the rural Perche region, the factory houses the entire manufacturing process — from design to finishes — to create exceptional pieces fashioned by human hands. Sketching, proofing, mould-making, casting, polishing, assembling and wiring — every step is performed in-house by our artisans. Our company has been awarded the EPV (Living Heritage company) label, and is a member of Ateliers d’Art de France.
Erwan Boulloud
French artist, designer, and artisan, Erwan Boulloud graduated from the École Boulle. Beyond aesthetic success, he considers a work to be truly accomplished in its ability to generate descendants, which for him is a sign of its depth. His practice unites sculpture and design in an exploration of transformation, lineage, and metamorphosis, offering a body of work that engages both artistic and metaphysical questions. Erwan Boulloud employs a wide range of materials, harnessing the potential of each to reveal its uniqueness. For Boulloud, matter is a field of experimentation: he burns, polishes, strips, dissects, and reconstructs in order to uncover hidden facets and depth. Guided by a Darwinian logic, his creations emerge in a state of perpetual effervescence, adapting and evolving to form lineages, crossbreeds, or mutations before eventually disappearing. Each assembled work carries within it a narrative that unfolds through its forms, materials, and movements. Fascinated by organisms and minerals—stones, fossils, corals, meteorites, insects—Erwan Boulloud gravitates toward anything that invites reflection, meditation, and wandering. This fascination breathes life into his sculptural furniture, which blurs the boundaries between the animate and the inanimate. With poetry, Boulloud draws us into a universe where history and storytelling intersect, erasing the line between reality and dream. His works, true hymns to metamorphosis, weave connections between memory, esotericism, and science, reflecting on our relationship to life, its creations, and the mysteries they provoke.
Felix Muhrhofer
Felix Muhrhofer (b. 1975, Vienna) is an Austrian designer working at the intersection of industrial design, interior architecture, and hands-on craftsmanship. Educated at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and ELISAVA in Barcelona, Muhrhofer began his career working from a small, improvised workshop, using it as both laboratory and proving ground for material, form, and production logic. From the outset, his process has been defined by an insistence on testing ideas through making. By refining traditional craft techniques and embracing an analog, highly controlled workflow, Muhrhofer has developed a body of work marked by formal clarity and a craft-led approach to production. Early projects included a modular terrazzo kitchen system with a single-cast countertop and integrated sink, a design so rooted in daily use that it led him to establish Vienna’s first cooking club, an ongoing platform for cultural exchange. This commitment to functionality as lived experience continued with the development of the Magic Wall, a fully magnetic wall system conceived as an active extension of the kitchen, transforming storage into a flexible spatial tool. Alongside furniture and product design, Muhrhofer’s practice extends to architectural and spatial projects, including stage design for the opening of the Vienna Boys’ Choir concert hall and the interior architecture of Vienna’s R&BAR. Across disciplines, his work reflects a consistent belief in material honesty, precision, and design shaped by real-world use.

Working from his New York City atelier, Beson designs new pieces and collections, crafting or prototyping each work by hand for private clients, brands, galleries, and institutions. His work has been shown globally and is represented by galleries in New York City, Genève, Milan, and now through Coup D’Etat.

He holds an undergraduate degree in product design and a master’s degree in industrial design from Parsons The New School for Design, where he also taught from 2018 to 2023. He currently lives and works in New York City. Guided by a belief that furniture is not simply an accessory to daily life, but an integral part of our shared experience, Beson seeks to make pieces for those who wish to populate their lives with considered objects — furniture to be lived on, in, and with, and ultimately passed on. With such importance and power, he believes these objects should be crafted with care, tenderness, and deep consideration.
Harry Siter
Harry Siter is an American artist and furniture maker whose work is rooted in direct engagement with raw materials and the act of making itself. Since the early 1990s, Siter has worked almost exclusively with whole trees, transforming trunks into furniture and sculptural forms through a process that blends invention, engineering, and physical labor. Using chainsaws to shape his materials, Siter favors straightforward, time-tested methods for surfacing and finishing, allowing the character of the wood to remain present. Over decades of practice, he has developed a deep technical understanding of how to stabilize thick slabs of wood and integrate them with metal, expanding both the structural and expressive possibilities of his work. Rather than beginning with standardized lumber, Siter approaches each piece as a response to the individual tree itself—its size, density, and inherent limitations guiding the final form. This process of discovery, shaped by material resistance and physical endurance, results in objects that feel simultaneously elemental and deliberate. His work speaks through mass, texture, and proportion, giving new life to materials often considered inert, and asserting making as an act of continual learning and transformation.
J Liston Design
John Liston is the founder of J Liston Design, a San Francisco-based furniture and art studio established in 2012.

John felt a yearning to find his own voice in the creative process. With determination and passion, he began crafting his own designs in his spare time. A pivotal moment came after participating in the American Craft Council show at Fort Mason in San Francisco. His designs were well received, with almost all pieces selling at the exhibition, affirming the potential for a sustainable business. Inspiration for his designs springs from a vast array of sources, from architectural nuances to the beauty of nature. Rain screens, perforated sunscreens, and louvers are examples of the details that inspire John, and he finds ways to express them in his work by adding texture, movement, and natural materials. The designer’s primary materials are steel and glass, but currently he has been drawn to working with brass, which has dominated his newest designs.
J McDonald
J McDonald is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn, NY. His work explores the intersections of the built environment, the natural world, and human psychology, examining the complex relationship between humanity and nature. Drawing on his background in architecture and environmental design, craft and metalwork, conceptual art and sculpture – McDonald’s practice brings rational, architectural geometries into dialogue with intuitive, organic forms – creating dynamic and refined works of art that challenge perceptions of space, materiality, and the human experience. McDonald’s sculptures, furniture, and large-scale installations probe the tensions between the natural and constructed worlds, manifesting the rational and neurotic side along with the more wild and intuitive side of the human mind. His work is not merely inspired by nature but is an inquiry into the ever-evolving dialogue between humanity and the natural world. Working across a variety of materials and scales, McDonald’s creations invite reflection on our relationship to both the environment and ourselves, offering an immersive experience into a fantastical world that imagines and encourages a deeper connection with the world around us.

Kalliopi Lydaki
Kalliopi Lydaki (b. 1963, Athens) is a Greek ceramic artist whose practice bridges sculpture, light, and architectural installation. She began her artistic training in Athens, studying pictorial arts and sculpture in the atelier of painter Jiorgos Vogiatzis before turning her focus toward ceramics following formative time spent in the studio of ceramicist Alda Reis. Lydaki established her first atelier in Chania, Crete, where she developed sculptural works in porcelain and stoneware, firing at high temperatures and refining a practice grounded in material discipline and technical precision. In 2012, she relocated her studio permanently to Florence, marking a shift toward what she describes as “light art”—a body of work centered on porcelain and clay forms finished with glazes incorporating precious metals. These intimate ceramic objects became the foundation for larger-scale wall installations, composed in varying sizes and configurations. Through subtle modulation of color, surface, and reflectivity, Lydaki enhances their dimensionality, allowing light to activate the work and alter its perception across space. Her practice remains rooted in ceramic tradition while expanding into sculptural environments that balance delicacy, rhythm, and luminous presence.
Kelly Farley
Working from his Pope Valley studio in Napa, ceramicist Kelly Farley creates large-scale suspended sculptures that are both singular and deeply evocative. His work explores the beauty of the individual while embodying the collective consciousness that binds us together. Each piece is a testament to Farley’s intensive and ritualistic process, undertaken only two to three times a year. Farley’s journey begins with sourcing clay from diverse locations, ranging from the foothills of the Sierras to mines across the country. This carefully selected clay is combined, molded, and glazed using Farley’s proprietary techniques and recipes. The sculptures then undergo an elaborate firing process in an ancient Japanese Anagama kiln, where the unpredictability of wood-fired ash creates a unique surface and patina on each sphere. The ten-day firing is a collaborative effort, drawing ceramicists from across the nation to Pope Valley, where they work tirelessly around the clock to bring Farley’s vision to life. Once the firing is complete, Farley meticulously assembles the spheres, allowing each to interact harmoniously within its space. Through this ambitious, entirely hand-done process, Farley not only creates physical works of art but also manifests the profound journey of creation itself.

Leslie Nix
Leslie Nix is a Los Angeles, CA-based artist whose use of light, color, and texture are reflections of her experiences moving through the world. After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in art by the age of 19, Leslie set off in her ‘71 Ford pickup, traveling through the US, painting and selling her works. Her wanderlust extended to spans of time spent visiting over 40 countries, gathering inspiration, and establishing studios in Berlin, the Czech Republic, Chicago, North Dakota, and finally taking up permanent residence in Los Angeles. Her living and studio spaces must be visually stimulating and filled with objects she finds on her travels or in a special location—souvenirs—or pieces that feel like old friends. Leslie is intrigued by things that hold memories, time, or the traces of somebody’s hands. Objects that emphasize form over function are of great interest to Nix. Nix’s process relies on a meditative practice, with an emphasis on the physical creation of the works, which she views as more important than the end result. Nix works in the mediums of wax, oil paint, cast bronze, and glass. Her travels, including her experiences in Africa, have influenced her recent body of work.

Inspired by lunar caves and atemporal rock formations, each work evokes the quiet suggestion of life blooming in the unlikeliest places. Sculpted in bronze and glass, the pieces capture a dialogue between the organic and the otherworldly—botanical, mineral, and something in between. Through light, Curry reveals the delicate resilience and transformative energy embedded within his imagined terrain. Fabricated in collaboration with master artisans in Northern California, the LUMARA Collection bridges digital innovation with traditional craftsmanship. Each limited-edition work serves as both object and myth, a vessel for memory and metamorphosis. Together, they invite reflection on what endures beyond perception—illuminating the hidden, the ancient, and the eternal pulse of creation itself.

OCHRE WILD
The OCHRE WILD collection showcases a captivating array of rugs, crafted in Bengal using ancient techniques and natural dyes. Every OCHRE WILD rug is meticulously handcrafted, from the initial yarn-making and dyeing process to the intricate weaving and finishing touches. Both the Indo-Tibetan and flat-weave Dhurrie rugs are made with a diverse selection of fibers and natural dyes, resulting in a harmonious display of colors and textures reminiscent of a painter’s masterpiece. All the raw fibers used in OCHRE WILD rugs are sourced directly from local farmers, ensuring a direct and ethical supply chain. The cultivation methods employed by these farmers are organic, devoid of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. By combining organic natural dyes with hand-spun raw organic fibers, the rugs exhibit vibrant and lively colors. The absorption of the vegetable dye varies across different fiber types, resulting in captivating variations in depth and hue. Throughout the natural dyeing process, the master craftsmen rely on ancient recipes, continuously refining and adjusting them to achieve the remarkable spectrum of OCHRE WILD colors.
