DISCO WAS “I Will Survive” and “Bad Girls,” the Bump and the Hustle, Studio 54 strafed with beams of color and swirling stars. Soon after a ten years of “good grooming is so square” counterculture, polished glitz returned to style and nightlife in the mid-1970s. And currently, just after two several years of pandemic-pushed caution and fret, inside design and style are embracing the expressive aesthetic once again. “I imagine anyone is bursting at the seams to move. Now it is like, ‘OK, let’s get dressed up. Let’s have a bash,’” reported inside designer Kelly Wearstler.
The Los Angeles products designer and entrepreneur collaborated with Dutch artwork collective Rotganzen on a assortment of signed, constrained-version objets in the variety of collapsed disco balls that sit up in corners or drape in excess of ledges like Dali’s melting watches. Her playful sequence of mirrored blobs, dubbed Quelle Fête, launched in October, and a new edition of 150 parts dropped in January. Explained Ms. Wearstler of disco, “It’s about glamour, and it’s lively and festive, and I think that’s why you’ve witnessed a resurgence.”

Los Angeles architect and artist Rachel Shillander’s aptly named Disco Chair provides the sparkle to home furniture. Nevertheless the perch resembles a tender bean bag, it’s actually a concrete shell that Ms. Shillander hand-handles in hundreds of mirrored tiles.

In her assortment with Studio M Lights, Houston interior designer Nina Magon carries out her own riff on the storied orb.
