An exhibition of hand-crafted art and design pieces At the Rose House, including a seminal sculpture by Charles and Ray Eames, is on display at the former New Jersey home of 20th-century landscape architect James Rose.The late American modernist landscape architect designed and hand-built for himself and his family in 1953 and lived in for almost 40 years.

Pieces in the exhibition are displayed throughout the home as if they belong there.Organised by curatorial platform Object & Thing and furniture and interior design studio Green River Project LLC,the exhibition stemmed from Rose's appreciation for craft and materials.The show "emphasises the hand-made, beauty in nature and a sense of timelessness" according to the curators.

Rose self-designed and hand-built the house, which features several Japanese design elements.Green River Project LLC founders Aaron Aujla and Benjamin Bloomstein,who have admired the landscape architect for some time, have produced a series of new designs based on his work.

Created in collaboration with a group of designers, these pieces include a side chair by both Bloomstein Industrial and Luck Carpentry, rice paper lamps from Preziosi Lighting and carved grooming items on shelves in the bathroom by Teague's Path.

Artworks and designs were selected to reflect Rose's appreciation for craft and materials.The works are installed as if they belong in the rooms and garden, which – like many of Rose's later projects – feature elements of Japanese design, including the exposed timber structure and shoji screens.

Among the designs created for the showcase are leather Adirondack chairs by Hugh Hayden, wood-fired micaceous pots by Johnny Ortiz-Concha and naturally-dyed framed textile works by Kiva Motnyk.
