From fashion to furniture, gloriously golden hues are making a statement

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

Indicative of elegance and panache with a touch of vitality, golden hues have become the go-to color family for a wide variety of items, among which are the fashion-forward modern Italian furniture from mega designers like Marcel Wanders who created the Can Can pendant for Flos to famous Italian furniture manufacturers like Cappellini and Cattelan Italia.  Richly saturated yellow-orange colors are paired with more muted tones in the black and grey family for an understated “pop” and a surprise element when a warm golden color is contrasted against its edgy counterpart.

Modern Design Inspired by Organic Forms

Friday, October 5th, 2012

In this case, the organic shapes are in the form of cells, personified as facades as seen with the Pattern bookcase by Alfredo Häberli for Quodes, entire structures demonstrated by Tectonic side table designed Alain Gilles for Bonaldo or partial aspects of the overall creation, i.e. the chair back of Bontempi Casa’s Spider.  Regardless of the furniture piece or design element, its placement in the interior realm or its every day function, the end result is consistently astonishing, drawing curiosity and attention without overwhelming its surroundings.  Check out the Cells Balustrade by EeStairs as yet another example of the ingenuity this design extends.
