The Roweam Cove Bench Collection Modernist Tudor Project designed by Moore House Design, product by ROWEAM, Photography by Jared Kuzia
This collection is anchored by the Cove Bench and Disc Pillow, designed in tandem with our custom bench created for our Modernist Tudor home in Jamestown, Rhode Island. After designers and clients began reaching out about the original piece, we knew it belonged in our New Vintage collection.
Paired with the Disc Pillow in Moss Velvet, a tone inspired by the moss that clings to Rhode Island’s coastline, the collection began to take form, grounded in place and material.
Blair hand-selected the Willy Guhl urn planter, chosen to evoke the quiet presence of a coastal buoy. Crafted from beautifully aged fiber cement, this rare Guhl form carries natural weathering and layered patina, as if it had spent years submerged in seawater, waiting to return to land.
The Bronze Bird recalls the rare and endangered Northern Ibis of Africa and the Middle East.
A stoned sentinel, selected as a remembrance and symbol of what is sacred, and reflective.
A leaf motif mirror to introduce themes of nature, cyclical life, and symbolic reflection, softly grounding the collection in organic rhythm and renewal.

THE CONCEPTION
The Cove Bench began as a custom design for our Modernist Tudor project in Jamestown, Rhode Island—a new vintage piece, designed by Blair as a sculptural, grounding element within the architecture.
Designed to sit quietly within the home’s strong geometry and clean lines, the original bench balanced weight and softness, and proportion to the room. Its curved form echoed the surrounding cove landscape, while its scale anchored the room.
As designers and clients began reaching out about the piece, Blair reinterpreted the original in a more versatile scale for Roweam—preserving its integrity while allowing it to flow more fluidly across a range of interiors.
“This piece was designed from the landscape of the Jamestown cove in Rhode Island, something that has truly inspired me when I was designing our client's home. When people started reaching out for a custom bench, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to launch a smaller version of this bench for versatility and proportions.”
From there, the collection took shape—anchored in the Cove Bench and expanded through objects that share its same language of material honesty and quiet strength.
THE INSPIRATION
The collection is rooted in the coastal landscape of Rhode Island, where land, water, and time shape everything slowly and deliberately. The Disc Pillow in Moss Velvet draws directly from the moss that clings to the shoreline—soft, muted, and deeply textural. The tone feels lived-in rather than applied, grounding the collection in place.
Blair hand-selected the Willy Guhl urn planter for its sculptural simplicity and weathered patina. Its form recalls the quiet presence of a coastal buoy—aged, elemental, and shaped by exposure.
The Bronze Bird references the Northern Ibis, a rare and endangered species, chosen as a symbolic object—something sacred, still, and reflective. A leaf motif mirror introduces a softer rhythm—bringing in themes of nature, cyclical life, and quiet renewal, balancing the collection’s more grounded, architectural forms. Together, these pieces speak to a shared language: one of restraint, permanence, and connection to the natural world.
THE PROCESS
This collection was developed with the same approach Blair brings to every project—prioritizing proportion, material integrity, and longevity.
Each piece was selected or designed to feel essential rather than additive. Materials are left honest. Finishes are allowed to evolve.
The Cove Bench set the tone of this collection, its form guiding the selection of accompanying objects that hold the same sense of weight, clarity, and intention.
WHY YOU?
This collection is for those who are drawn to Rhode Island interiors and landscape for it's sculptural form, natural materials, and objects that feel shaped by time.
