DNA code is known to assist in convicting and exonerating criminals, determining paternity status as well as identifying probabilities of various diseases. During Milan’s 2013 Design Week, DNA code emerged in a revolutionary new way, embodying the Darwin coffee table. Designed by Tjep Studio for Dutch DNA, the Darwin coffee table personifies real DNA code of Dutch DNA founder’s daughter. Darwin coffee table was created by first mapping Guilia Wolthuis genetic profile that was then translated into a 3-D model form, a production process that elevated furniture personalization to an entirely new level.
The conception and realization of the Darwin coffee table opened a new door for those who look to have a one-of-a-kind piece, allowing the powerful personification of their DNA code and even the joined DNA of couples to be actualized on a stunning modern occasional table. To say that the Darwin coffee table and its individualized replicas is the ultimate “conversation piece” is perhaps, an understatement.

Home mini-bar concept has evolved tremendously within the realm of modern décor, reaching beyond its typically expected placement in the basement. The winner of all hidden mini bars is the exquisite, one-of-a-kind Larix Grand Piano designed by Samuele Mazza and Alessandro La Spada for Visionnaire where the shiny piano hood unravels a hidden liquor storage area big enough to also accommodate soft drinks and fancy stemware.

A modern style that embodies the principles of pop art through acid colors, abstract paintings, neon lights, wild patterns and an abundance of glossy surfaces. Taking this artistic movement quite literally, Roche Bobois actually has a Pop Art seating collection, whilst the king of modern design, the infamous Karim Rashid, conceives his creations influenced by this iconic inspiration, realizing his projects and furniture in bright color spectrum, textural inconsistencies and eccentric shapes.

The use of chrome is quite common among today’s modern furniture designs because of its enormous aesthetic value, durability and easy maintenance. Decorating with chrome offers an abundance of possibilities thanks to the versatile nature of this metal. Cool and edgy, chrome is ideal when used on dining chair legs, and even better when such chairs are paired with a modern dining table that features chrome finished pedestal base.

Because of its reflective disposition, chrome is also a customary element in occasional furniture such as designer coffee tables and end tables and is often paired with clear or colored glass.

First Prize Winner of the interior innovation award at imm Cologne, Yakuza modern cocktail table collection by Industrial designers Naama Steinbock and Idan Friedman from Studio Reddish caught the attention of many by featuring the most extraordinary design that was creatively adapted from an entirely different realm of artistry. Named after traditional Japanese mafia, whose members were the only tattooed people in the country for a long time, the Yakuza table collection is treated like the human body where its character is dictated by the unique tattoo design printed on its wooden surface. Similar to the nature of the human body, the organic texture of wood becomes a podium for cultural and personal self-expression.
