Enjoy the Summer or hot weather in style by giving the onlookers something to wonder at. This is of course if you have the Marie Galoyer’s Sitting Bulles, bubble lounge seats that should make you look like you are floating or sitting on something transparent.

The Sitting Bulles do offer a lot of comfort and were created by French Designer Marie Galoyer. They are essentially inflatable and clear beach balls that have been melded together to create one unique lounger. When not in use, these Sitting Bulles can be easily stashed away, especially when the rainy season starts.

At first glance, these furniture pieces seem like destroyed or damaged pieces but you may be surprised to note that they were intentionally designed that way. These were designed by French designer Vincent Dubourg, looking like a lot that just came out of a place that got bombed.

Anyway, to give you an idea on the furniture design collection, there are panels in the shelves all jut up and down at awkward angles while the cabinets have gaping holes in them. The furniture collection is actually being exhibited at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery until in London until May the 28th. So if you want to see them up close, you know where to go.

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.

Crazy James Bond Interior Designs for Condo Studio Owners

Eileen Gray is a known name in the furniture design business. She has given a new meaning towards conceptualization and design and a lot of it were introduced in the market in the 1900’s. During these times, modern furniture designs were conceived as mechanical and were it not for the vested interest of one Andre Putman, perhaps none of us would see the contemporary designs that are sure hits today.

The appreciation of Gray’s performance back then were perhaps not seen as the tomorrow of modern design. Today however, we can see similarities of her concepts and then some, which are surely ideal stuff that anyone would want in their homes today.

She designed a new range of furniture for the home and in line with the Bauhaus and Modernists’ philosophies, moved away from creating exclusive, one-off pieces, instead preferring to create furniture that was simple, refined and functional and that allowed for mass production.

One small table in particular, called the E-1027, is one of Gray’s most recognised pieces. Also the name Gray gave to her San Tropez house, the E-1027 was small, round and amazingly versatile and, today is considered one of the icons of modern design. She also designed chairs, settees, desks and storage units for her home.

Sadly, her clients initially shunned Gray’s new direction and interest in her work waned. Just before her death, however, Andre Putman, a prominent French designer, revived interest in Gray’s designs and obtained a licence to manufacture several of them. Exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York followed.

The From Bed with Love bed design is sure to capture the attention of most design enthusiasts who also look for something different as far as convenient bedding is concerned and apparently, this is what this bed design aims to provide.

The young French designer has further promised a “nice and cool awakening” courtesy of its special luminotherapic (blah blah blah) headboard lighting and a discreet silent alarm clock a.k.a. sound canon system. The latter has the power to rouse you out of bed without disturbing your other half from his or her sweet dreams.
