Nowadays everyone wants to be unique in some way, not similar with others. This concerns the house interior too. The main purpose is to make house attractive or may be even unusual in some way, to make your house stand out among others.

Her furniture seems to live its own life. The collection includes several pieces of furniture such as “Canape”, the sofa that actually climbs a wall corner, with half of its foot on the floor or two chairs with seats that are different but share the same back. Or maybe you prefer the chair that seems to be melting down? Take a look at those Lathe chairs by Sebastian Brajkovic. I find it as a very interesting and also “new style” for any home improvement. Do you?
