This charming piece of furniture has something very special that you can’t define. It could be the antique look or perhaps the simplicity and elegance, or maybe the color. Whatever it is, it’s unique. It has a quiet beauty that seduces anyone.

Glass nesting tables

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on April 12th, 2011

Another idea from the BoConcept design team. This time it’s a table. And not just any table. It’s called a nesting table and it’s made from 3 pieces, all of a different size. They are all made entirely from clear glass And they can be folded into each other to save some space. Then, when you need them, all you have to do is separate them and there it is: an original occasional table. The dimensions are H16¾/15½/14¼ x W16¾/14¼/12 x D16¾/14¼/12″. Here they are, three occasional tables, each of a different size and all having the same shape and color, all made from the same material.

Be careful, if you have little kids they might be dangerous. Because they’re made from clear glass they are not very easy to see and they might trip and injure themselves. Glass is also dangerous, besides being very good looking. However, it’s very resilient and resistant. It costs $499. This piece or pieces of furniture have a contemporary look that would nicely integrate in a modern home.

Diamond-shaped black and white clock

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on April 11th, 2011

Nowadays people tend to prefer digital clocks instead of the old-fashioned ones. However there is something special about those ones that you can’t define. Time seems to pass more natural, plus they look more aesthetic on the walls. The type of clock that a person chooses to have in their home is a personal choice that nobody can judge. But if however you choose to have an old-fashioned clock, don’t think that it’s over. You’ll still need to choose from a lot of different shapes and sizes, not to mention colors.

So you should at least take a look at this contemporary clock. It’s a diamond-shaped wall clock, half black and half white. It features red hands to show the time. A nice and elegant contrast of colors. It’s all you need. The dimensions are w 21” x h 16” and it functions with only 1 AA battery. Just stick with the basics, sometimes it’s the best option for 102$.

Woven drink bucket for both indoor and outdoor use

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on April 11th, 2011

For only 59$ you can purchase this unique item. It is a woven drink bucket created for both indoor and outdoor use. The dimensions are 20″w x 14.5″d x 11″h. As you can see it has a … let’s say vintage look. The basket is made from woven seagrass which gives it a funny look. Actually, on a second thought, it looks like the picnic basket that Spike used to carry on the legendary Tom & Jerry series.

The basket also features a galvanized iron insert that keeps the ice and water separate from the woven seagrass exterior. It is also easy to clean after you finish using it. You just wipe down the seagrass basket and rinse the metal insert. To make the carrying easier, it also has two woven handles. However I don’t see any top, so I’m not sure how long the ice can resist like that, not to mention that it’s not hygienic. But it’s a minor problem that can be easily fixed.

Simple and elegant storage cabinet

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on April 4th, 2011

Black is always a good choice, no matter what the subject of the discussion is. Simplicity is also a good choice. When you put them together, the result has to be extraordinary. Like in the case of this cabinet, for example. It’s black and it’s also simple. You have to like it.

The thing about simple items is that there’s nothing you can dislike about it. It doesn’t give you many options. Of course, this means you can say “there’s nothing special about it”. But that’s not necessarily true. Simple is special, considering the fact that people are constantly trying to come up with new things, with even more details. Sometimes is better to just stick with the basics.This elegant cabinet doesn’t only come in black. You can also choose between wenge, teak, oak or walnut finish, as well as for glass or lacquered doors for an additional charge. So it seems that it’s not that simple after all.Available for 1845$.
