Search Tool Added on Freshome

Today I want to announce a new tool that I’ve added on Freshome to help you find what you really want. Over time I’ve gathered on this blog a lot of interesting stuff, and I know that most of my readers come to this blog for a piece of fresh inspiration. Now for example if you need some inspiration before buying a chair or a sofa, you just simply use the search option to find all posts from this blog that have the word you are interested in. The blog already has a lot of posts, and the posts will keep coming, and I’m sure that if you want to see a specific piece of inspiration the new search tool will be useful to you. Tell me you oppinion about the new tool, and if you find it useful. - Thanks !

Mon Coeur Designer Sofa by La Cividana

Mon Coeur is a stunning designer sofa available from La Cividana furniture. Mon Coeur features a minimalist approach towards cushions and upholstery as compared to the overall mass of the sofa. The picture highlights how small the cushion appears in contrast to the frame. The frame provides the most "wow" details. I like the way that it is shaped as a rounded shell and yet is higher on one side creating a visual focus on the non-conforming shape. Designed by Peter Harvey, Mon Coeur is made of a glass reinforced plastic frame with non-deformable polyurethane foam with polyester fiber. Measurements: ESF: 110 / Wood Bedroomscm x 240 cm x 115 cm.

The Bird’s Nest Chair : X_Lounger

With the world’s attention and probably yours glued to the television coverage of the Beijing Olympics, few could have failed to notice the spectacular Bird’s Nest Stadium where the opening ceremony took place. Well, here is seating that looks just like the stadium. The X_Lounger is a modern bean bag of a chair where ” a single ray has been traced along a periodic double curved surface, resulting in a random looking yet controlled construction pattern.” The X_Lounger is available either in satin aluminum or Malaysian rattan. Timothy Schreiber is the architect and designer behind the X_Lounger who describes his style as “pop modernism”. He has traveled the world for his many projects. He was actually in Beijing and Shanghai in 2004 and 2005. Whilst he was in China, he helped designed the Aquatic Centre for the 2008 Olympics. - Via

Skateboard Inspired Furniture

We have presented the Skateboard Shelf a few months ago, but today here is something more extreme, every piece of furniture is inspired by a skateboard. Skate Study House (SSH) is an innovative design concept specializing in recreating popular furniture through the vision of a skateboarder. The movement of a skateboarder constantly changes it recreates itself by transcending boundaries and inventing ways to conquer obstacles. It’s constantly about anticipation and adaptation to one’s environment. The same is true for living design. The combination of the two produces a mixture of contemporary lifestyle, art and action sports culture, which is all found in this unique collection. I’m pretty sure that skaters will absolutely love this idea.

Folies Bergere Unique Armchairs

La Cividina has created this unique furniture design called Folies Bergere armchairs. My first impression is that the overall shape of the chairs is very different and "ulta-modern". In particular, the high backrest almost seems whimsical in its interpretation by the designer. The small, rounded seating base reminds me of the shape and size of an ottoman. Construction consists of leather or fabric upholstery atop a wooden frame with a metal swivel base. Measurements: 88 cm x 78cm x 144 cm. Available: here.

Ultimate Ridiculousness: Louis Vuitton Trash Bags

I see a lot of people who wear Louis Vuitton shoes, handbags, wallets, clothes, etc ..and they feel extremely proud by wearing them. Now today I’ve found something that I can say that is extremely ridiculous - Louis Vuitton Trash Bags …what’s next ? Gucci toilet paper !? It seems they will put Louis Vuitton logos on anything these day. Anyway the Louis Vuitton Trash Bag is the dumbest thing i have seen in awhile, and I hope people don’t waste their hard earned money on these, because that’s exactly how you throw money away.
