Tour Table by Gae Aulenti

by Stefan, posted in Home Gadgets, Interiors, on October 4th, 2009

Here is a transparent table made from used bicycle wheels to support a 4-foot-square sheet of glass called Tour Table. It was designed by an Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti for FontanaArte.The table is pretty expensive – 6.000$ but it`s cool and very high-end. Gae Aulenti is short for Gaetana Aulenti and she is a very well-known Italian designer, also known for designing the interior of some famous buildings like the museum of modern art and so on.

Any way, the idea of designing this table came probably from the need to have a coffee table on wheels so as to be able to move it around the house, wherever you might need it. And why not use bike wheels instead of the normal small table wheels for a better visual impact? And maybe as an homage to the Tour of Italy.You can actually use these wheels and move this interesting table around. You only need to be careful when you want it still and arrange the wheels so as not to move.

Fimes – an Italian furniture design company surprised me again with some amazing beds. Fimes managed to perfectly combine a beautiful design, a high quality of the materials and a practicality of its furniture.

If you are looking to choose a bed, well you can find modern and minimalist designs. If you are interested in one of these Italian beds then you can find more information on Fimes.

One of the most interesting features of all Fimes beds is the fact that they are very large and comfortable, offering enough space for you to be relaxed and to have a quality sleep. Then they all seem to be floating in thin air, as their legs are pretty short and they can’t usually be seen from under the bed.

The fact that these beds are so close to the ground makes them easily reached so if your kids pay you a visit you don’t need to worry that they will fall and hurt. Some of them have an unusual shape having the head board directly glued to the bed and the whole bed looks like a sledge.

The idea is not very new as there have been numerous tries to find out a more effective way of having a table that stretches only when you have company. But the idea and the design brought by Lodovico Bernardi is really great and also practical. You simply keep the table stored somewhere where it takes a minimum amount of space if it looks just like a simple board and you only take it out when you need it.

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, Interiors, on October 2nd, 2009

The well designed Scenography apartment that is located in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania in Eastern Europe inculcates harmony to perfection. The 400 sqm drawing room is bright and very well planned. The space of the apartment has been used smartly and has been divided into two sections. One section is there for the day activities and the other for night ones. Such a division has lead to a proper management of the space.

This airy apartment is the result of amalgamating two mirroring ones. This way the apartment doubled its area and offered more space for the same activity and the same number of people, which is almost luxury. The living room that is colour changing is the USP of the apartment. This well equipped apartment at a great location attracts a lot of eyeballs and is a great deal to indulge in. You can see modern furniture all over the apartment and, even though the designers from AA Studio used a minimalist style that is now fashionable, it looks amazingly well and trendy.

by Stefan, posted in Home Gadgets, Interiors, on October 1st, 2009

Nowadays all apartments are small and space is a big problem. Here is a piece of furniture that is totally different from the styles we’ve been used to. Blooming Lotus Furniture by Vladimir Usoltsev is an innovative dining table and it was inspired by nature. Attractive and useful, the furniture is perfect for both indoors and outdoors.The most interesting aspect of the furniture is the brightness of the light, which relies on the number of the chairs pulled out from the table. This furniture set is the perfect solution for small places, as you can easily place the chairs under the table when you are no longer using them. Just store the whole set somewhere until next time you need it and then you simply pull the chairs out and problem solved. The name of this furniture comes from the aspect of the set that looks just like a lotus flower and when you take out the chairs the lotus flower represented by the table seems to grow petals and to bloom. It’s poetry expressed in furniture design.
