RJ Living’s new collection, Sunlit Forms, distils the hush and ease of seaside life into sculptural furniture for everyday sanctuary. Warm timbers and glossy finishes meet rope accents and signature stripes, expressed with restraint so pieces breathe with their surroundings from sunrise to sunset.
The tone is tranquil yet grounded—quiet silhouettes with precise detailing—made to be lived with, not simply admired.
In the bedroom, Sunlit Forms explores rope’s tactility through timber and weave. The Compass Bed pairs an oversized, low-profile base with an integrated Danish paper-weave bench at the foot—part perch, part punctuation—bringing hotel-calm to daily ritual. The Weave Bed continues the thread, wrapping headboard, sides and footboard in fine Danish paper weave so light plays gently across the frame’s solid oak proportions.
Storage follows the same language of softness and curve. Tide, named for the sinuous sweep of its doors, sets its rounded profiles against a boxier carcass, with a subtle gloss ‘Porcelain’ finish that reveals timber grain beneath: an 80s note, modernised with care.
In the living space, Toto brings saturated colour and a high-gloss sheen—its rounded corners and generous surface anchoring conversation while playing beautifully against matte upholstery and rugs.
The collection’s stripes arrive as an easy, coastal rhythm in sofas like Sidney, whose modular, slip-cover format favours longevity and flexibility as rooms evolve. Together, these signatures create a calm register: sculptural enough to catch the light, edited enough to recede when the room is in use. That balance echoes the brand’s broader trajectory—design-led, accessible, and increasingly present in Australian homes.
Sunlit Forms is less a look than a way of setting pace. Materials are layered with intention but left authentic: oak and paper-weave textures you can read with your hands; lacquer that holds a reflection; rope translated into subtle lines rather than statement knots. The pieces invite stillness—a five-minute pause before bed, a slow coffee in the morning light—and they welcome the messier moments too. Stripes and curves resist trend churn; storage is generous; finishes are chosen to last.
Viewed together, Compass, Weave, Tide, Toto and Sidney speak a common design language; soft curves, honest materials and a pace that settles a room. The pieces are made to mix: colour for bold moments, quiet neutrals for restraint, and subtle rope or stripe when you want warmth, without weight. Sunlit Forms doesn’t imitate the coast; it translates its rhythm into furniture pieces shaped for longevity, ease and everyday calm.
