Ask any interior designer and they will tell you about the importance of texture. Emersons got it in abundance, from the slightly rough texture of the carbide black metal frame to the knurled candlecups to the ridged brass accents throughout the piece.

Resisting easy categorization, Emerson is ready to be put to imaginative uses in a variety of styles.
