The Anthro Classics

Our Anthro Classics: they’re the timeless (yet distinctively ‘us’) pieces that are always part of the Anthro Home collection you’ve embraced. You love them, we love them, so we keep making them!

Ever wondered what makes an Anthro Classic? Take a peek at the craftsmanship behind some of our best-loved designs to find out.

Since the days of Ancient Egypt, artisans have used bone inlay to decorate furniture surfaces – and there’s a reason why it’s so special. The intricate technique embodies a natural sheen and pattern, adding instant luxury to a room. Handcrafted using the same centuries-old techniques, The Targua Coffee Table captures the essence of Moroccan tilework with a reiterative bone inlay and cylindrical brass base. In other words, it’s instant heart eyes!

Aside from soaring ceilings and big bay windows, there’s no better friend to small spaces than a well-placed mirror. That’s because they bring light and openness to even the slightest schemes. Inspired by this, the aptly named Gleaming Primrose Mirror was born. No matter where you place it – against walls, mantels or entryway trestles – its distinguished silhouette has been shaped using wrought iron and resin to create antique-inspired grandeur that only gets more alluring with time.

Whether setting that table for a weeknight dinner or festive feast, we’re all for making it an occasion to remember. With aquatic hues that mingle against artisanal agate, The Agate Cheeseboard (which doubles as a platter!) is the perfect way to set the scene with a unique Anthro touch. Because of the unrefined nature of rock, no two are ever the same.

Travel – it’s truly at the heart of Anthro. If we’re not heading to some dreamy destination, then we’re exploring the world through our designs. Take The Imagined World Armchair. Acacia wood and bright linen sets the stage for an American desert scene, complete with wool-felted eagles, owls and mountains. Like all of our furniture, it’s been gently arched for optimum support, so all you need to do is sit back and relax.

Whether surrounded by family, friends or enjoying some me-time, there’s magic in the ritual of pouring your favourite drink. It’s a luxurious moment of indulgence and calm within the whirs of life. That’s what we wanted to emulate in the look and feel of our Waterfall Glassware Collection. Crafted from fine crystalline, curvaceous silhouettes meets a hand-painted ombre effect and a delicate gold rim – an ode to everyday elegance.

If the space of your living room doesn’t allow for a coffee table, creating a polished area to place books, vases and other treasures can be tough. But that’s where a statement-making side table comes in. If you’re clever in choosing the right shape, size and style, you can transform a setting from so-so to beautiful in an instant.

Instead of classic bases, we like to create drama – think golden trees to feathered peacocks – topped with decadent marble or traditional glass. The Cherry Blossom and Pavo Side Tables are perfect examples.
