Modern Wall Units – Gallery Collection by Milmueble

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Making living rooms more practical, convenient and stylish is a trend that has been growing in US over the past 5 years at a staggering speed – wall units.  Just like the Europeans have been placing a big emphasis on storage and organization (due to having limited living spaces), folks in US, especially those who like modern, minimal and clutter free environments have been taking advantage of the vertical spaces in their homes to help organize, decorate and simply make every inch of the room work for them. Gallery is the 2009 collection of modern wall units by Milmueble and is an upgrade to the vertical horizons in the house.

New Design Trends – Modern Baroque Furniture

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Although the immediate reaction and association with this style gears towards the glitzy and convoluted, the modern interpretation of Baroque stylistic dimensions is quite tasteful and elegant, especially when seen through the masterful products of leading Italian manufacturers like Tonin Casa and Cattelan Italia.  Dominated by extravagant, complex forms and fancy, at times flamboyant abundance of details, Baroque modern furniture is typified by the amalgamation of two fundamentally opposing styles – one emphasizing unobtrusive unity of shapes, textures, colors with distinct concentration on functionality while the other focusing on ornamentation, drama, eccentric redundancy and grandeur.
