The Dawn collection by LAUN is a series of futuristic furniture inspired by Octavia Butler's cult 1980s science fiction novel, Dawn, which gave the collection its name. According to LAUN founder Molly Purnell, “The pieces in this collection are some of our most bold to date. The strangeness and pause of the past few years gave us the freedom to think in a different way, to push ourselves creatively and play with the possibilities of color, scale, and materiality."
Dawn includes four pieces focusing on architectural compositions and metal fabrications. Consumers can shop from the brand's Octavia Lounge Chair, available in aluminum or fiberglass. The collection also includes two playful Butler Tables made with polished or powder-coated aluminum.
