Beautifully Crafted Authentic Objects & Furnishings from Around the Globe
Primitive is known for presenting, “The best of the world right next door.”
We present you with rare pieces, bold items with great color, texture, unmatched quality and feel that offer a practical use. Primitive offers collections of fine art and human ingenuity that are protected by their own inherent beauty. Whether it’s a complete room setting or a single piece intended to solve an interior design problem, something already created or to be imagined and built, an installation of accessories or a single statement piece, something to be worn every day or only for special occasions, a gift for a loved one or yourself, everything offered at Primitive has a story, history, purpose and design heritage, has been carefully selected, and comes from the hand and heart. From tribal art to Asian and Indian furnishings, Primitive’s astounding collection of precious, hard-to-find elements and antiquities reflect over 100 cultures culled from exotic and isolated destinations—each bringing the beauty and history of the multi-cultural to aesthetic life—an unmatched collection of rare and contemporary furniture, fine art, artifacts and accessories showcased in an evocative setting.
