The maker has put it for bidding on eBay but suggests he should be contacted to confirm for delivery charges for different destinations.

Elegant “Bond” Coffee Table for Modern Settings!

Max — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:22:32 +0000

Here’s one of my favorite picks from my coffee table wishlists. After buying way too many coffee tables from IKEA that have broken time after time, I have been looking for something durable and modern. This elegant “Bond” Coffee Table certainly fits my high criteria for coffee tables. I want one!

The Bond coffee table – geometrically flawless. The Bond’s staggered black and aqua glass panes create two tiers of contrasting brilliance. Each square “floats” on a cross-sectional stainless steel frame with rubberized feet for excellent support and no-scratch maneuverability. The Bond’s asymmetrical design and unique detailing make the perfect cocktail table.

Tablet Mac Coffee Table

brian yalung — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:47:24 +0000

Here is a new kind of table design that should attract the MAC geeks. As the Mac Tablet is being wooed to come out soon, what better way to time the unveiling of this Tablet Mac Coffee Table? Besides, we have seen an iPhone Coffee Table so why not a Mac Tablet? It takes its brains from an old iBook G4 laptop built underneath the 37” LCD flat panel screen. It is not a touchscreen LCD and for interface, six tactile control buttons built from cheap six-button joypads were used for navigational purposes. It even comes with a DVD loading slot underneath!

It’s all built into a sturdy steel-framed table with a thick tempered glass tabletop to protect the screen from spills and other damage. Certainly a geeky piece of furniture any techie would want to have in his home or room.

These LunaBlocks are actually oversized LEGO bricks that can be assembled into various furniture needs for the home. Similar to how you do it with the miniature versions, you can create sofas and coffee tables with them. You can even enhance it a bit with some add-ons like wood or glass if you like. They cost $20 to $55 per brick and may have to wait a while before you get your hands on these LunaBlocks since they will be coming from a France manufacturer.

Wine Table of Cherry and Maple

brian yalung — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:36:13 +0000

Each home is bound to need a table or two but what makes this crafted wine table is bound to get some attention. The name speaks for itself. With a cherry and maple finish, this wine table places a lot of emphasis in using the wine bottle concept by actually portraying a wine bottle to hold everything together. A good add to any home, particularly the ones that have a home bar in place.

“Furniture can have a personality as original as its maker,” she said during a recent interview and tour of the gallery’s Early Winter Show, which features small-scale work by Duncan Gowdy, David Ebner, Hank Gilpin and Andy Buck. “Each piece reflects the personality of the maker, and that,” she noted, “is the trademark of the American studio furniture movement.”

People are getting Bamboo-zled

brian yalung — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 06:44:10 +0000

Bamboo has surely been in the air these days as far as ideal alternative raw materials for finished furniture needs are concerned, and apparently the attention is drawing a lot of bright ideas, both from designers and the consumers.

Designers have come up with a lot of different home and furniture ideas but don’t leave out the consumers as well. Consumers seem to have shifted their attention towards bamboo as well and apparently it is safe to say that bamboo is slowly becoming a resource to help address home needs and furniture solutions.

Adapt furniture made from natural materials which are renewable, or sustainable material like bamboo or cork and arrange them such that they don’t block the flow of energy or sunlight.

Vases Made from Old Books

brian yalung — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:13:40 +0000

We will always have surplus books in our home and perhaps the issue here would be how to get rid of them. In fact, ask yourself again and wonder if you should!

Books are good for reading and perhaps donating them or selling them to people who may need them is a good recourse. But did you know you could also turn some books into vases that could be good furnishings for your home?

All it really takes is creativity and imagination and you can come up with the unique home furnishings that may be better than buying any in the market. So before you dispose those unwanted books, see first if you can make use of them in any other way.

My idea of using second hand books came around after doing research into common unwanted objects. One of the most common unwanted objects that can be found at either charity shops, car boot sales and sometimes on the streets are books. I discovered that the glue in old books make them extremely difficult to recycle. Aware of this I challenged myself to turn the second hand books that I had been collecting, into desirable objects such as furniture, lighting and ornaments.

Crazy James Bond Interior Designs for Condo Studio Owners

brian yalung — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:02:33 +0000

For the people who are not familiar with James Bond, this international spy always comes up with great gadgets and unique designs to help assist the movie quality. At one point this aqua studio home which brings back memories of the first movies that starred Roger Moore, “The Spy Who Love Me”, may be an old film but it can fit well as far as getting new ideas for your future home, particularly if you are living in studio condo units.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that this unusual retro-modern home should belong to Pierre Cardin. The Italian-born French designer, now 86, is renowned for his avant-garde style and his space-age designs in the Sixties.

Geometric shapes and prints in strong monochromes are found throughout his work and the interior design of his bubble on the sea reflects this sensibility, with black-and-white optical fabrics featured throughout.

This cool Sixties aesthetic is picked up elsewhere with iconic pieces like Verner Panton’s Fun table lamp, made from mother of pearl, and the curved lines of the television.

Old Furniture Can Be Part of New Designs

brian yalung — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 03:42:28 +0000

When it comes to decorating, it is all about concept and organization. Hence, if you have old furniture lying around, don’t just give them away or throw them out. They may still play a vital role in complementing the perfect room design you have in mind and you will be surprised at their impact.

Old chairs, tables or even the standard coffee tables that may have depreciated over time can still be used at times. There are people who want designs that can provide a mixture of antique and modern furniture and rather than buying, making use of old stuff can really make a difference.

If you want a good tip, old furniture can be remodeled as well. An old round table for instance, can be redesigned the modern way, adding some glass and a couple of varnish to certain parts that need touches for better presentation. Seriously, you will be surprised at the output; practically to be mistaken as new furniture for a cheaper price!

You can check out these tips for a better illustration of old furniture that made a difference.

Old Furniture Can Be Part of New Designs

Making New Furniture out of Old Homes or Barns

brian yalung — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:00:37 +0000

Raw materials in making furniture do not need to come from current or new resources. We see old homes that are normally torn down in lieu of a new one and the scraps or the old wood that normally comes down with it are surely to be of use if you think about it.

Call it a matter of recycling and putting ingenuity into place, old home materials can be used to make new furniture. In fact, if you think about it, newly made woodworks such as tables or chairs may eventually look like they have been around for some years now. All it takes is to put them together and create a finished product out of recycled wood.

Fogg says that 15 percent to 20 percent of the wood he uses is recycled from old homes and barns.

Out of this fir, yellow pine and other enduring wood, he makes something new, but always with an eye on the simple elegance of the American past.

“The idea,” he said, pointing to his newly finished table, “is to make furniture that looks like it’s been around for 200 years.”
