Happy New Year!  Wishing you a healthy, safe and beautifully furnished New Year!

Speaking of the New Year, according to the Chinese Horoscope, this is the year of the White Metal Tiger, and the best metal for this animal is considered to be silver.  Decorating with contemporary furniture using the color silver or actual metals is glamorous, modern and most importantly, should bring good luck in the New Year.  Here are our ten picks.

1. Selex Rex Platform Bed by Milmueble

Amalgamating exotic espresso wenge wood with ultra modern stainless steel accents, Selex Rex modern platform bed brings a certain level of eccentricity to the modern bedroom through its asymmetric design, lighting fixtures and the surprising use of stainless steel – a finish most commonly used and associated with the kitchen.  Outside of having an optional under-the-bed storage, Selex Rex may be complimented by a matching dresser, chest, floor mirror and a variety of wardrobes.

2. Lofty Chaise Lounge in Stainless Steel by MDF Italia

Designed by Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, Lofty is made entirely of polished steel, geometrically laser cut and wielded into a sculptural masterpiece with ultra modern persona.  Also available in a stainless steel chair version or entirely upholstered (both chaise and chair).

3. Gotham Dining Table by Cattelan Italia

A part of the 2009 collection, Gotham Dining Table is another brilliant design by Andrea Lucatello.  Gotham’s extravagant base is finishes in stainless steel with laser-cut, sculptural carvings.  Gotham’s gorgeous base is aptly paired with a clear glass top that yields maximum visibility and thus appreciation of the base.  The top is available in 3 round sizes and 1 square version.

4. Dubai Coffee Table by Tonin Casa

Dubai Coffee Table has an elliptical, 3D base that is further accentuated by a matching elliptically shaped glass top.  While the glass top is available in clear or with a border, the base of this exquisite coffee table is finished in a silver lacquer.  Dubai is also available with a black, white or mocha lacquered base and a glass top with a border in black, white, or mocha.

5. Luna Office Desk by Uffix

Fashioned by world renowned Ferrari designer Paolo Pininfarina, Luna Modern Italian Office Desk is an emblem for modernity and technological evolution.  The cascading modesty panel makes this office desk more of a sculpture than a working surface and yet, it serves its practical intents with dignity.  Luna Desk features a grey-silver lacquered modesty panel, a stainless steel structure and glass work top.  Also available with leather panels and other lacquer colors.  But we pick the futuristic looking – metallic silver.

6. Ksenia Sectional by Brianform

A part of the Monte Napoleone Collection, Ksenia Contemporary Sectional has modern lines and lavish upholstery.  Combining black ultra soft, ultra thick leather for its frame, Ksenia Sectional features silk silver fabric upholstery for its seats and the three layers of its back cushions.  Nothing speaks more of old Hollywood glamour meets modern design than this.

7. Blawhy Rug by Smania

Blawhy Rug is a modern patchwork of luxury and refinement.  Incorporating deep grey and white durable velvet fabric squares in lieu of their multi-dimensional texture and shimmer, the Blawhy Rug exudes an illusion of a variety of silver hues set within geometric symmetry that works with any décor style.

8. Antithesis Table top Collection by Fos Ceramiche

The latest from FOS, Antithesis is a collection that consists of vases, bowls and centerpieces handcrafted from Italian porcelain.  Elements from the Antithesis Collection are finished in milky white color with either silver of gold accents.

9. Miss Lacy Chair by Driade

An armchair that amends everyday life with its spectacular design and awe-inspiring use of materials. Designed by the legendary Philippe Starck Miss Lacy pays tribute to the fascinating qualities of modern home décor with its mirror-polished cast stainless steel shell and perforated floral pattern.

10. Mercury by Artemide

Designed by Ross Lovegrove, Mercury is a ceiling fixture with molded thermoplastic polished chrome pebbles that reflect light and float under the simple aluminum disc.  When not in use, Mercury is a sculptural element reflecting its environment; when lit, Mercury is a stunning, illuminative instrument.
