The Mondrian Sideboard comes from  Boca Do Lobo and caught our attention due to its diversity, artsy feel and glamorous looks. We found out that the carvings and models on the sideboards reunite a variety of artistic styles and the materials used are also diverse. Lacquer, leather and glass are just some of the designer’s options for the finishing touch. A large part of the products  was handcrafted, which gives it even more originality. This is perhaps the reason for the limited edition items. The designers stated that this furniture “is an exclusive emotional experience, a sense of belonging and a state of mind.”We will not insist on the functionality of the design, as it is clear that so many drawers could only mean plenty of storage space. – Via – 3rings

Although still at the concept stage the “Cube Chair” by Svilen Gamalov provides an interesting example of modern design.

From time to time as you might have noticed we like to post some things that are a little bit unusual. For example today I would like to present  Fjaril, a drawer system designed by Danish designer Jakob Jørgensen. Fjaril is one of his many projects which distinguishes itself with its beautiful sculptural nature and fine craftsmanship. As Jakob describes it, it goes from being a simple box into a functional sculpture. This drawer system expands rhythmically and go in this movement from being a simple box to be a functional sculpture.

Imagery is showing up quite a bit in home decor these days, often with designs inspired by nature. Fantastic colors combined with nicely shaped furniture are absolutely present a pleasant view for eyes. Margaret Elman, owner of Chair Couture has created a beautifully refined interpretation of this phenomenon with her new seating/bedding collection. Known for her creative pairing of vintage French chairs with witty fabrics, her new collection reflects a calmer, more organic spin on vintage furniture revival. Margaret Elman has designed this fabulous collection of original designs called “Green Collection.”
