Intriguing furniture pieces made out of whiskey barrels

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on September 3rd, 2012

Normally, the only secret that a whiskey barrel hides is the taste of whiskey inside it along with the recipe used to create it. However, a clever designer has found a way to change that. This is a collection of furniture crafted from recycled whiskey barrels. Numerous oak barrels are used to age the spirit and to give it unique aromas and flavors. Once they did that they can no longer be used for the same purpose. But then a new stage in their lives begins.

The barrels are often used to create something new, something unique, completely different than their original purpose. For example, they are used to make furniture. The pieces were designed by Gustaf Anders Rooth and crafted by Barrelly Made It (BMI), the designer creates pieces from reclaimed whiskey barrels from American distilleries and wine barrels from local and Northern California wineries. Each component of the barrels is reused and nothing goes to waste.

Wooden Handcrafted Sidebar

by Loredana Sava, posted in Furniture, on August 30th, 2012

I have always though it is a very good idea to have a mini bar at home where you can stay for a drink with your friends without having to get out of the house and where there is no closing time. However, those home bars with Martini glasses hanging from the shelves above my head and the open bar are a bit uncomfortable for a responsible person with kids moving around the house or a person who has the business meetings at home. So I realized that maybe it is a better idea to have such a bar combine with a closed cabinet. This is the perfect example of what happens when you combine the two: Wooden Handcrafted Sidebar.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on August 30th, 2012

Rain drums have been used in festivals and ceremonies for many many years and, even after that, they still remained precious because of their history and cultural value. They have inspired many designs, most of them for side tables or accent tables. You can find some of these designs right here on our site. Today we’re back with another beautiful side table, also inspired by a rain drum.

The table is has a design inspired by the Southeast Asian rain drum, which was renamed for the unique sounds it created. The table only borrowed the shape and the detailing.

The reproduction features intricate details, just like the original,

Besides its obvious functional side, the table also represents a great accent piece for any home. It has been taken to the rank of decorative art and it’s something that would stand out in any décor.

The minimalist Vika Veine table top from IKEA

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on August 29th, 2012

As usually, IKEA is a great source to go to when you need a simple and yet functional piece of furniture. Known for their vast selection of minimalist designs and ingenious storage solutions, IKEA still manages to impress us once more with this wonderful creation. The Vika Veine table top is a very simple product, with a minimalist design, a compact look and not even a single detail on its surface. The smooth, clean and clear surface however reveals a hint that lets us know that it actually offers more than it lets us see.

The Vika Veine table top is indeed hiding something. It was designed to be used with the top lifted at 90+degrees. This means that the surface you see at first is not the surface you’ll be working on. The lid can be lifted and it reveals a hidden compartment. The work surface is just as simple as the surface of the table top and it’s actually the other side of the lid that hides a secret. Its interior is lined in felt and it was designed to absorb sound, a feature that can be very useful.
