Sofas

Ditte Maigaard, German design studio, has created unusual Split Personality Sofa, that looks different from the front and back. It seems to me, this furniture item was inspired by beautiful flower. The sofa should be situated on the middle of the room to impress guests with its difference in colors. Here is description from Ditte Maigaard Studio: ?Split Personality Sofa was created based on two opposite types of personalities. The nature of their differences supplement each other and give the furniture a wide range of applications. The shape and the textile expression has been created in unison, and it is exactly in the meeting of the textile and the shape of the furniture where the Split Personality really comes into character?.

We want to present to you an elegant and cool Spring pierced furniture collection by the Italian company Esedra. It is rather simple yet stylish. The designers used simple sheets of metal. The collection contains armchairs, tables and poufs that are either fretworked and chromed or lacquered, or upholstered in 1 or 2 colours. Each set comes in four versions: upholstered with leather in different colours, perforated with an enticing design or in the steel version for an outside garden or patio. These pieces of furniture look really fresh and creative. I guess, such as this house furnishing can be perfect for contemporary room interior decorating themes.

Nowadays living in harmony with nature becomes a popular trend. Nature is the source of inspiration in different branches of art. The designers often use some ideas from nature in their creations. So English designer Nigel Coates was inspired to create Animalia furniture collection for the Italian brand Fratelli Boffi. The shapes of animals occupy an important place here. You will feel yourself somewhere in savanna or desert with this collection. The furniture is suitable for living room. The idea is completed by the materials used such as natural wood frames, glass and animal skin upholstery. The collection consists of chairs, modular sofa sets, stools, "Stag" tables and a miraculous snake-inspired mirror. The entire series will be on display in Milan next month.

At the beginning of March the Ukrainian designer Yaroslav Galant presented his new furniture collection in Kiev. The Corian furniture was inspired by the traditional Ukrainian motives. The main colours of the collection are white, black and red as the colours of the native embroidery. It consists of such pieces as ottomans, sofa, various coffee tables, round dining table, bed, bed side tables, screen, wardrobe, rack, chandelier, TV & entertainment system cabinets, two types of wall boards, bath tub, wash sink, 4 mirrors and benches. The design let the furniture be used for either home interior or for hotel spaces. This unusual furniture can also become an outdoor one because of the superior stain-resistant qualities of solid DuPont™ Corian® material. It looks bright but elegant. Have a look.

Unveiled last month at Sloan Fine Art Gallery, the thought-provoking Metrobench was designed by Stephen Shaheen. It is both an art sculpture and unique furniture piece which looks extremely modern and creative. Using 5,000 NYC Metro cards, this smart design transforms a symbol of movement and speed into an object of rest and reflection. Each card has its own little untold story. The snips of millions of New Yorkers, with their separate lives are combined together into a fluid tapestry. The sculpture was assembled completely by hand, card by card. Very impressive and unusual!

Sometimes the designer’s thought exceeds the structural limits imposed by the materials used for creating the furniture. Here is the great example, the Makemei furniture collection designed by Camiel Weijenberg and Talenia Phua Gajardo. Makemei is the union of the Chinese-Mandarin “Mei” – gorgeous, and English “Make” – do, make. And the name for it is rather suitable. The sculptural pieces of furniture will turn your home into the art gallery. It will surely draw everyone’s attention due to its unusual and creative shape. Some may seem abstract enough that you might not know what the function is at first. Have a look at the sofa “aj double chair”, designed so that two people can sit facing each other, or the “RD Table”, with its inclined surface for increased visibility of books and magazines. All the furniture is handmade.

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. Lila Jang, the designer with her own special view, presented her new Fluid collection of seats. You will be impressed because all the shapes are very unpredictable and unusual. 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?

If you are a hospitable person inviting a lot of guests to your place, you will probably have a problem with the amount of seats for them. Circula seating which was designed by Taurus Designs and produced by German brand Brune. The name of this seating system, Circula has the Latin origin. It means “circulus: the circle.” The main position is the circle. But it can form various shapes combining different parts of the seating with each other. With Circula you will have an unprecedented piece of seating furniture, every day the different one. It can be easily customizable to suit your needs and existing modular home interior setup.
