First Glass Dining Table by Cattelan Italia

First Glass Dining Table by Cattelan Italia

Experience first class dining with First All Glass Dining Table by Cattelan Italia.  A masterful creation using all glass silhouettes, First Dining Table is available in three dimensions with two rectangular and one square version.  What’s great about an all glass dining table is that the selection of among multitude of dining chairs is vast with the freedom to choose chairs in any silhouette, color and style.  In this picture, the manufacturer paired First Dining Table with their new Kate Dining Chair featuring a chrome metal frame and quilted soft leather upholstery with plethora of colors.  Also, First Dining Table is a great choice when the dining room only needs a design lift from the table’s perspective, keeping the existing chairs at bay.  First Dining Table is also a brilliant choice when there are too many colors/finishes already in use in the dining room, as it introduces nothing but the sheer translucency of glass and minimalism of its modern design.

Modern Furniture with Sex Appeal

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Furniture with sex appeal can be sexy for two reasons, especially when we are talking about modern furniture design, which knows no limitations when it comes to forms, materials and functions.

Modern furniture that just look sexy because of its design and silhouettes are reminiscent of the human form, resembling the human body in one way or another, at times, a far fetched resemblance but most of the time, quite true to form.  Take for example the Him & Her Chairs designed by Fabio Novembre for Casamania.  Constructed using polyurethane which makes these chairs also suitable for the outdoors, the design behind Him & Her was inspired by two sources.  The first and the most obvious of the two is the human anatomy, more specifically, the rear, bottom half of the female and male bodies.  That alone is seductive, daring and suggestive.  The latter inspiration comes directly from the iconic Panton Chair, which was designed by Verner Panton in 1960 and is considered one of the most sought after modern classics.  Him & Her Chairs mimic Panton’s overarching silhouette, but introduce a sexy twist to the equation through the use of provocative elements.  “They (Him & Her) assume sculpted forms like naked models of seduction…but they are not ashamed” Fabio Novembre.

The misconception about modern furniture, in particularly, related to modern sofas, sectionals and armchairs is that is the piece looks modern – then it is lacking in comfort.  This false impression could not be further from the truth.  Modern seating furniture do not compensate design for comfort, on the contrary, most of today’s solution place an enormous emphasis on the comfort aspect of the seating experience with the use of feather fillings, soft, foams and top notch elastic webbing.  That, combined with the Italian moniker of exclusive, creative design creates a value that customers are looking for and will enjoy for a very long time.

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.
