The capsule immediately captures attention with pieces that draw design cues from tailored menswear. Uniform Studio used [locally sourced hardwoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellsbuilt) that were crafted and finished within the state. Uniform Studio's Penna Collection includes a side chair, an armchair, and a rug. The Penna Armchair is distinguished by vertical pillar-like legs and steel arm structures that create an envelope for the user, while the rug is made in Philadelphia with 100% wool. The carpet design also boasts scalloped edges and pill-shaped motifs in two shades of green. Unform Studio also announced the expansion of its decorative [Orbit Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-and-axis) with new rugs, a hand-polished stainless steel vase, and a pitcher with a handmade handle.
