In a defining moment for global luxury design, Marge Carson, America’s premier heritage furniture brand, unveils The Oceanic Collection — an extraordinary collaboration between CEO Janet Linly and visionary designer iMAN Maghsoudi.
Born from a shared pursuit of emotion, form, and innovation, the collection captures the spirit of the sea — its rhythm, depth, and motion — through sculptural furniture that unites timeless craftsmanship with futuristic design.
A Legacy Reimagined
Under Janet Linly’s leadership, Marge Carson has entered a new era. Blending decades of design expertise with a forward vision, Linly has expanded the brand’s reach while preserving its 80-year tradition of craftsmanship and elegance.
“At Marge Carson, we believe true luxury is timeless,” says Linly. “When iMAN shared his ocean-inspired vision, it immediately resonated. His artistry and our craftsmanship came together in perfect harmony — a blend of nature, design, and emotion that feels alive.”
The Visionary
iMAN Maghsoudi is an award-winning industrial designer known for his sculptural approach to functional design. His career began with the acclaimed Ferrari Monza Concept (2006) and has since earned honors from Red Dot, IDA, and A’ Design Awards, culminating in recognition as World’s #1 Luxury Designer by DAC in 2019.
“The ocean speaks in rhythm, not words,” says iMAN. “I’ve always seen it as a living sculpture — infinite, fluid, and untamed. With Marge Carson’s artisans, we gave that movement form and soul.”
The Oceanic Collection
Each piece channels the ocean’s rhythm through sculptural silhouettes and tactile finishes, creating furniture that is sensual, architectural, and deeply human.
The Oceanic Piano – A sculptural masterpiece redefining the piano as art. Crafted from carbon fiber, aluminum, and leather, and developed with KAWAI Japan, it merges performance and design in a limited edition.
The Aurelia Chair – Inspired by the moon jellyfish, Aurelia’s curves and metallic accents capture the shimmer of sunlight beneath the surface.
The Swell Sofa – A dual-orientation sofa whose sweeping lines mirror the sea’s rise and fall, balancing intimacy and openness.
The Ripple Sofa – Undulating contours and tonal upholstery inspired by shifting tides create serenity sculpted into form.
The Marine Mystique Bed – The collection’s centerpiece evokes the horizon where sea and sky meet, its architectural headboard both powerful and tranquil.
Each piece is handcrafted in limited production by Marge Carson’s artisans, merging couture-level craftsmanship with Maghsoudi’s avant-garde design.
