Running faucet shaped stand for tablets

Bogdan — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:41:37 +0000

ELECOM designed a incredible tablet stand, called JAGUGHI, that’s shaped like a running faucet, and your tablet actually stands on the dripping water. It’s an awesome Christmas gift and an unique eye catcher in any coffee shop or teahouse you’ll go and use your tablet.

It comes in two colors, blue (I personally like this one better) and clear, and you can buy it here for $59.99.

The same design was used for smart phone stands, but with 2 extra colors: white and black.

Diane Von Furstenberg may be famous for having invented the jersey wrap dress and other iconic fashion designs, but now she is also famous for her chic home collection: DVF Home. The collection, which debuted in February, includes a line of rugs, bedding and tableware and other home accessories. In an interview with House Beautiful, she said, "color and pattern are important in all my designs," von Furstenberg says.

Shown here is an electric and gorgeous tablescape that von Furstenberg created for House Beautiful magazine. She’s always used eclectic prints and bright colors in her fashion collections and she’s carried on that love of print and color into her home collection as well. Just about everything here is by von Furstenberg: the flower vases, votives, place mats, flatware, plates and napkins.

Von Furstenberg has quite several rugs through The Rug Company that she has been selling since 2009, all of them beautiful, but this is my favorite (eh, what can I say? I’m a sucker for zebra print!). This 100% Tibetan wool rug would look gorgeous in any room! Make sure to add other accessories to the space such as table lamps, end tables, and mirrors to pull the room together.

This serving tray, and many other items in her home collection, was inspired by Joan Miro. This tray is quite beautiful in person, I’d use it as a decorative object and place it on a mantel or a coffee table and a little collection of tchotchkes.

This fabric, called China Vine, was inspired by a dress from her 2008 collection. This image is from Claridge’s Hotel in London that von Furstenberg designed. Yes, she’s an interior designer too!

Von Furstenberg also sells a line of fabrics, so now fans of this fashionable line are free to upholster to their hearts desire. Pair a couple of throw pillows in blue leopard with a settee in black and tan tiger stripes. Von Furstenberg said, in an interview with Oprah magazine, that home “is a projection of who you are.” If who you are is bold, bright, glamorous and a little bit eclectic, then you’ll love this collection. You can find the DVF Home Collection at Bloomingdale’s or Neiman Marcus.

Consider choosing your furniture from concepts

Bogdan — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:41:31 +0000

When buying new furniture, everybody wants the new piece to look good, fit into the room perfect and amaze your guest. Sometimes, there are designs that create the trend of the year and you’ll tend to choose something to go with that: modern, exciting, probably expensive, but not that unique.

Choosing from a concept, you’ll have 100% authenticity guarantee if you can watch beyond the fact that you’ll pick your sofa, TV stand or bedroom from a sketch or a computer generated graphic. Yes, I know it sounds a little dangerous, but if you tell the designer exactly how the new piece of furniture should look, specify the desired measurements, fabrics and use, you’ll be amazed.

Now, more and more professional designer choose to present concept instead of final product, because, they can always change an idea based on the feedback received. Most of the concept furniture existing now is following the European style, high quality, modern furniture from Italy, Germany, Spain and Belgium.

This way, for example, you can get a perfect Italian bedroom, as you need it, starting from about $2800. Interesting, right?

Kitchen perfectly integrated into the living room

elutzik — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:48:51 +0000

This is a couple’s idea of integrating the kitchen into the living room so that you so that everyone could have free access to it without anything blocking the view of the people relaxing in the living room. Another problem they solved with this is keeping an eye on the children who were playing around the house. You can prepare something to eat or drink your coffee without leaving your living room. I believe it is perfect for those days when you have guests and you don’t want to leave them alone when you go into the kitchen to get the food. They used a Star model kitchen which combines an elegant and discrete walnut wood with distressed white textured lacquer and a stainless steel top that reflects the cooking zone suspended in the air. It is the perfect solution where the kitchen opens up to the rest of the house so they can see each other and interact as a family without everyone needing to be in the same room.
