Elegant Davidoff Furniture Collection

Davidoff is popular tobacco company, which also produces perfume, pens, accessories, etc. This legendary brand symbolizes career success, courage, elegance, sophistication and finesse. Ukrainian designer Dmitry Lebedev supplemented the collection with elegant furniture items, such as chair, sofa, desk, stool, and a few others. Furniture was made in the minimalist design with addition of classics appeal. The combination of metallic and black with smooth lines emphasizes the good taste and luxury. To my mind, this furniture collection will look most harmoniously in the office or masculine interior. Accentuate your style with the concept of Davidoff.

Woodland Home: The Hobbit House by Simon Dale

Isn’t it great to live in the house that you built with your own hands? When you are your architect, you put your soul into your house design and make everything exactly how you want it to be. It’s also the best way to save money. Simon Dale and his father in law built this beautiful house in Wales by themselves and only a little help from their friends. It seems that they mostly used the materials found on the building site – the cost of construction is approximately 3000 pounds. Look at how cozy and unique this house is – the hobbits would love to live there. The house makes Simon’s family feel as close to the nature as possible and it has minimal visual impact being dug into the hillside.
