The most luxurious of all modern styles. Art Deco epitomizes glitz and glamour most often associated with old Hollywood era and the beautiful life of the American elite. The “luxury” aspect of this style is obtained through the use of expensive materials like bronze, polished stone, ivory in opulent color schemes which include cream, gold and silver as well as rich brown and black hues. However, the modern attribute of this stylistic delineation is fulfilled through Cubism inspired geometric shapes and sleek linearity as eloquently demonstrated in the entire Visionnaire collection by IPE Cavalli.

While at the end of the day, the meal and the company are the most memorable aspect of any celebration, the backdrop of its setting often helps set the stage for the festivities. Following are two examples of perfectly designed modern dining rooms featuring exquisite furniture, dramatic lighting and congruent design that are rightfully suited for the holidays.
Sculptured Betty dining chairs by Cattelan Italia are combined with a more subdued but utterly considerable looking Manhattan dining table by Cattelan Italia. The dining room furniture collectively offer both a complementary and a contrasting feel, denoting multidimensional styling. The contrasting theme is further extended to the dark walls which are offset by soft white, sheer curtains and a touch of greenery. The finishing touches are applied by the dramatic pendant chandelier with supple and a lit floor that intensifies everything placed on it.

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.

Once upon a time, kitchen, living room and dining room were meticulously kept separate; nowadays, the world loves openness and spaciousness. Walls disappeared, creating open spaces that communicate in color, texture and theme. Modern living rooms, contemporary dining rooms and designer kitchens find balance through consistency in materials and uniformity in forms. The result, a fluid space that make it easy to transition from function to function, entertainment to relaxation in an uninterrupted leisurely demeanor.
A Sectional similar to the Panda collection by Polaris is showcased in soft white color with a splash of kelly green in the form of Orange Slice armchair by Pierre Paulin for Artifort. The living room décor is matched perfectly to the stark white kitchen and dining room décor featuring Panton dining chairs and beautifully minimal walnut dining table.
