Your New Armchair?

Could this be your new armchair? The Garment Chair by designer, Benjamin Hubert is merging the boundaries between clothing design and furniture design. The armchair is constructed from polyurethane and dressed in a single, stitchless piece of fabric to emulate the creasing effect of clothes and give the effect of visual softness. The cover is removable and can be swapped for a different one when you feel like a change. More information can be found at Contemporist.

The base of these modern nest of tables is crafted from oak and the surface is inlaid with dark sating glass. Aptly named, Levels, and designed by Dan Yeffet and Lucie Koldova, the chiselled design allows each table to overlap so you can use them as individual end tables or a single three-tiered coffee table.

Statement Chest of Drawers

Lydia — Tue, 01 May 2012 12:03:04 +0000

Are you looking to find a chest of drawers that will stand out from the crowd, and elevate you to the status of interior design king or queen? You should consider the size and shape of the space available for your chest of drawers and the amount of storage you require. Beyond this, the sky is the limit. Don’t feel you have to conform to preconceived ideas of matching furniture sets; they can look beautiful but will also limit you to certain styles and themes of room.

A great style to choose is from a painted or white bedroom furniture range, which will give you a blank canvas to work on if you want to reinvigorate a couple of pieces of furniture somewhere down the line. This deep blue drawer unit offers additional basket storage. Here, the coordinating natural baskets and runner on the top would look at home in a stone farmhouse as well as a coastal retreat. Remove the baskets and runner and this chest of drawers possesses a shabby chic look. You could alternate with different baskets to achieve the desired look.

Use the top of a wide, deep drawer unit to display your collections. Grouping items together as a display not only showcases your prized possessions but looks stylish and not cluttered, as a mix match of assorted ornaments often does. Look at the effect this unit has on the room. Distressed duck egg blue or light mint drawer units work perfectly with white walls. The narrow draws and wooden drawer nobs give a sense of vintage chic.

Block colour is high up in the fashion charts right now. Use a white chest of drawers for a base and plan out your design.

The use of stencilling will transform a beautiful vintage chest of drawers and bring it right up to date. Use paint or stains in the same colour as the chest for a more natural, subtle look. This upcycled chest works really well in a modern setting.

This room illustrates how one item of furniture can make the entire room. This vibrant blue chest of drawers perfectly accentuates the fresh, crisp white of the walls, ceilings, curtains and floorboards. This look would be ideal in a guest room as it emanates a sense of serenity.
