Leather sofa with an amazing design

by Monica Stavar, posted in Sofa and Chair, on May 8th, 2012

People’s main attribute is their creativity. What seems even more incredible for me is the fact that people manage to be creative even on subconscious situations. We create not only when we want to, but also when we try to concentrate on other aspects or when we get bored. For instance, think about doodling. Everybody does it and sometimes after a long meeting we are surprised of what we have sketched without even knowing it. But have you ever thought about using in any way the products of your doodling? I am sure most of you didn’t. But I know someone who did…

Front for Moroso designed a leather sofa which is inspired by the doodling that Front’s employees did during their design meetings. I find this idea incredible. Not only that it is creative, unique and really good looking, but it unveils the team’s personality and brings to light each member’s hidden thoughts. This way the designers got to know better each other and even themselves.

Beautiful Shape Origami Chairs

by Monica Stavar, posted in Sofa and Chair, on May 8th, 2012

I think we all tried making origami but when we tried to become experts we encountered some problems. It is an art and art is defined to be very hard if you don’t have the required talent. Well if we don’t have the power in creating Origami our selves we can order an Origami chair to fill in our disappointment. Leaving that aside the chair has an amazingly beautiful shape with lines that draws your attention.

The chairs were created and designed by the Dutch designer Sander Mulder and of course they were inspired from the traditional Origami techniques. How Sander Mulder made an Origami chair? Well he laser cut an aluminum sheet and then bent it in the final shape. The finish is given with a powder coat that makes the chair more durable.

If you like to feel stylish and luxurious when you go out then you probably want to feel the same way when you’re home. Versace now offers you the opportunity to do that with their beautiful creation, Versace Vanitas. It’s a luxurious piece of furniture with a very distinguished look that will inevitably become the center of attention in your home. It’s a great piece for a focal point.

Versace Vanitas is a stylish chair that was designed by the late Gianni Versace in 1994. It expresses the true style that Versace continues to offer. It’s a very glamorous, stylish and opulent piece of furniture and because of that it’s also very hard to include it almost any type of interior décor. With such an eye-catching piece, the rest of the décor should be as simple as possible as not to tire the eye by creating multiple focal points.

The Read ‘n’ Rock rocking chair

by Monica Stavar, posted in Sofa and Chair, on May 6th, 2012

The next item seems to be especially made for me. And if you have my tastes and hobbies, you will certainly appreciate the Read ‘n’ Rock chair. I have always dreamed about that type of rocking chairs that you see in movies when it comes about nice grannies, but I never got one. I don’t know why I never done it, but probably this is the best opportunity to do it. The image that occurs to my mind when I think about a rocking chair is the one of Muriel, the old lady that knits while rocking in the cartoon series ‘Courage the cowardly dog’.

The Read ‘n’ Rock rocking chair

The chair that drew my attention is a wooden rocking chair named Read ‘n’ Rock. As its name says, the item is perfect for reading and rocking, in the same time. The chair will certainly relax you and you will refuse to leave it. You can read in it, knit, crochet, watch TV, listen to music, chat with a close friend or just rest lazy. All you need to do is just to rock and sing away from your daily problems.

However, that’s not all. It also has a design that allowed its creator to include a series of trays cleverly hidden in the structure of the chair. The secret set of fold-out trays is strong enough to hold a laptop. This means you’ll be able to work while sitting comfortable in this beautiful armchair.

The Majestic Elephant Chair

by Simona Ganea, posted in Sofa and Chair, on May 5th, 2012

Once you’ve seen the rest of the pieces from this collection, the Elephant Chair doesn’t come as a surprise. The chair is the newest addition to the Animal Chair Collection designed by Maximo Riera. The collection includes other very impressive pieces such as the Rhino Chair or the Walrus chair and you can read all about them on our site.

After experimenting with different animal shapes, the designer chose to pay homage to the largest living land animal on Earth, the elephant. The chair is as impressive as the real animal. The whole idea of creating furniture that closely mimics real living animals and all the details that make them unique is genius. The Animal Chair Collection will always be opened to new creations. The Elephant Chair is a piece that not only complements this collection but also highlights the artist’s connection to the Indian culture.

Despite the dimensions of the chair that mimic the shape of the elephant, this is a very elegant and delicate piece of furniture. As expected, the Elephant Chair was limited to only 20 units. Each piece costs £60,000 ($97,100) and, as you can imagine, it’s very hard to get your hand on one. The Elephant Chair is crafted with a steel frame, compressed foam and polyurethane. It also features a fine leather finish and creating one takes about 9 weeks. The dimensions of the chair are 2.97cms deep, 2.30cms tall and 1.67cm wide and it weighs 160 kg.
