“The furniture-design company Groundwork incorporates industrial objects and architectural salvage to create furniture that projects a sense of history, something difficult to fake with all-new materials. I especially love their one-of-a-kind root-base tables with zinc or reclaimed marble tops.”—Chosen by Hilary Jay, founding director of DesignPhiladelphia and senior fellow at UArts
