by Simona Ganea, posted in Sofa and Chair, on November 28th, 2012

The Eames chairs are legendary. They are iconic pieces of furniture that would make any space look beautiful. And since they are so beautiful themselves and so easy to integrate anywhere, they don’t really need additional accessories and accent pieces in order to stand out. Whether you use them on your porch or in your dining rooms, chairs such as the Eames rocker stand out with their simplicity and elegance. Here are a few examples that demonstrate this idea.

A modern living room with a casual décor could definitely use an Eames rocker. It would be a very pleasant and comfortable addition to the room and, if you don’t want it to stand out too much, you can opt for a neutral color in tone with the rest of the décor.

Not Your Grandma’s Floral Sofa

by Loredana Sava, posted in Sofa and Chair, on November 11th, 2012

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? At our grandmother’s house, watching black-and-white movies on her floral couch? I have…except she called it a “davenport,” which I never knew what that word actually meant until I was in my 20s and decided to look it up, once and for all. For as much as I loved visiting my grandmother and her home, I never felt I was quite ready to make the leap into floral sofa-hood. Figured that was many decades off.

But it doesn’t have to be! Upon closer inspection of many floral sofa-touting spaces, I’ve come to realize that, in the right setting, flowers printed onto a sofa provide the perfect impact. Consider the following:

This extra-large floral print is airy, sophisticated, and serene. The muted colors add to and are in cohesion with the rest of the neutral space, with one pop of red. This is definitely a contemporary take on floral print; imagine the difference in the room’s “busy-ness” that a small, tight-knit floral print would make.

The revolutionary Panton chair, a classic that defines style and beauty

by Simona Ganea, posted in Sofa and Chair, on October 6th, 2012

The initial image of the chair was the classic one: four feet, a steal and later a backrest as well. But then another classic was created and this one was nothing like the previous versions. It was a revolutionary piece that reinvented the chair. It was the Panton chair. Its curvaceous lines and continuous design were a remarkable change and the way it followed the human body’s silhouette was very attractive as well.

A beautiful mix of rustic and modern.Just the right balance of warmth and cool.

Today the Panton chair is no longer as impressive as it used to be but it’s still a classic and one of the pieces that could never look outdated or out of fashion. The design of the Panton chair is very stylish and chic but it’s also extremely versatile. It’s why we have included it almost everywhere. The Panton chair is a wonderful addition to dining rooms, the place it’s the most popular. But its beautiful silhouette allows it to also be used as a desk chair and to further be used on terraces, in lobbies and all sorts of other spaces.
