Some design houses emerge fully formed—others evolve through generations. Metaphoric proves to reflect a bit of both. Founded by David and Katherine Dewey in Austin, but rooted in Monterrey, Mexico, through the legacy of David’s mother Rocio—a respected interior designer—Metaphoric brings the warmth of heritage to the precision of contemporary European furniture. Their pieces at Ten Easy Street are refined but not rigid. There’s a softness to their geometry and a tactile generosity to their materials. This is furniture made for how we really live—rich in story, crafted with care, and endlessly adaptable to the emotional topography of home.
Modern Magic
Why: Because furniture should strike a balance between art and life. Metaphoric’s strength lies in its ability to bridge past and present, structure and soul. Influenced by Rocio Dewey’s refined eye and the couple’s own background in global fashion and design, the brand celebrates silhouettes that feel edited yet expressive. Every piece is rooted in heritage—then reimagined through a modern, fashion-forward lens that aligns seamlessly with Eileen’s signature sensibility.
What: A tailored selection of Metaphoric’s furnishings brings form and function to the Great Room. Think sculptural wood-framed seating, sinuous lines softened by natural materials, and grounding pieces that quietly anchor the space. Designed with a minimalist’s restraint and an artist’s intuition, each element elevates the room without overpowering it—proof that subtlety can be its own kind of statement.
Where: In the Great Room, Metaphoric sets the tone: confident, curated, and quietly cosmopolitan. The pieces provide structure without stiffness, encouraging conversation, ease, and long afternoons spent in good company. It’s modern design made warm—an elegant foil to the room’s coastal textures and sun-washed palette.
