“glow” chandeliertags: lighting

A CHANDELIER YOU ASK? WHERE ARE THE CRYSTALS?  Chandeliers aren't what one normally thinks of when considering lighting for a modern home.  Usually the calling card of palacial estates or ornately decorated mansions, the chandelier had received a modern upgrade with Palluco's brass "Glow" Chandelier, designed by Enrico Fanzoline and Vincente Garcia Jimenez.  With an encased light surrounded by brass casing reminiscent of origami, the "Glow" Chandelier appears to be suspended within a circle of light.  Available in red, white, black and burnished brass, this unique design is also available in a floor model. modern furniture Popularity: 13% [?]

puzzle floortags: miscellanea

TO BE FRANK, the very idea of jigsaw-shaped wood flooring seems tacky–for many, its actual implementation only slightly improves upon this preconception. The truth is, you’ll either love or hate Puzzle Floor; we happen to side with the former, though this may be because we have an indefatigable fascination with wood in general. Thirteen different finishes are available, and despite the relatively childish overtones the pieces look remarkably modern. However, the fun really begins when you mix and match different shades: how about a spot of cinnamon in a sea of cappuccino? $15/sq.ft., d furniture Via: Beverly Hills: Trend / Leather Sofa Setsir Popularity: 2% [?]

Kurl Contemporary Glass Shelves

Kurl is a combination of 5 glass shelves that form a shelving unit for storage. Each shelf is painted transparent glass. Colors include pink, metal brown, and green. I find this particular ensemble intriguing. I am not sure how much weight I would put upon since it is made of glass and the pieces rest upon one another. I do think that it would add a cool touch of color in the right contemporary home. Price: $5,000. Available: Here.

Functional Coffee Table: Mimosa by Matt Carr

Matt Carr has created this wonderful functional coffee table available at the Umbra store. When I look at the Mimosa up close it appears as a large "W" with an accompanying table top. The angular "W" creates a great nesting place to store books, remote controls, or magazines. In particular, magazines stored inside do not make this piece of furniture look "junky" as you can see in the picture. They rest gently on the angles and don't create a sensation of clutter as a result. Measurements: 22" x 36" x 15". Price: $210. Available: here.

NNi Haus by Akitoshi Ukai

The NNI HAUS is designed by Akitoshi Ukai (AUAU) and is located in Kiyosu, Japan . This residence is built in the northwest of a Beverly Hills: Block / Leather Sofa Sets. It is the house of an L type plan built to the minimum site. A white wall makes a cut in one sheet of paper, and is bent and made according to the form of a Beverly Hills: Block / Leather Sofa Sets. Complicated form is produced though it is a simple technique in doing so. If this residence is seen walking along outside, the form is changed slowly. A great example of modern architecture, but as I can see from the picture there is only a small windows, so I think is quite dark inside, and the white color might look good, but only a while because the pollution will make it darker very quickly.
