WILDER ÉTUDES
Beyond our unique showroom curation, Wilder Études is a series of specially curated edits centered around a theme. Each Études collection is fully shoppable and integrates categories ranging from furniture to fragrance, lighting to loungewear, sculpture to sweets. Even ephemeral elements such as dance and musical performance are woven into Études presentations.

ÉTUDES: GREEN
Featured in Architectural Digest and Sight Unseen, our inaugural presentation was inspired by Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year. In addition to the color, we interpreted this theme to include eco-friendly materials, fragrances with green notes, as well as designers who were new to the design space.

ÉTUDES: VOLUME
Presented for Nashville Design Week, Volume was a site-specific exhibition shown in a three-story residential townhouse. We conceived of this edit as a meditation on space inhabited by objects; we examined volume with regard to size, negative space, sound and color. Further, we considered the psychological volume consumed by images and objects that resonate within us.
Exclusively featuring artists and designers from Nashville, Volume presented furniture, lighting, textile, wall coverings, photography, sculpture, painting, video projection as well as live performance.

ÉTUDES PRESENTS: PRESENCE
We commissioned New Dialect, Nashville’s contemporary dance company of distinction, to perform a site-specific concert in the courtyard of our space in Germantown. HEAP was initially generated from a series of prompts to the dancers on “who we are, what we hope and what we fear.”
The piece examines social norms, projected identities, otherness, oppression, and how we present ourselves in the world.
