The Volna Table carries a futuristic shape, something many of you will perhaps see from sci-fi films. Molded in an odd and irregular shape, the table was designed by Nuvist which should be neat for working at home or even at the office.

The tables are available in a variety of models and colors thus making it easier to adapt to any color-themed setting for the home or the office. The Volna Table stands to take you into the future of furniture design which can also easily integrate with any modern setting at that.

Odd but ingenius, here are some more quirky furniture designs for you, one that is reportedly inspired by photos of industrial buildings. Apparently this is the main reason why the furniture design collection of Mieke Meijer seems different from traditional furnishings one would consider for homes, one supposedly taking the shape of industrial-inspired molds.

Thanks to her continued fascinataion, Meijer has created a smaller scale of industrial buildings by playing with the volume to which they were created to produce neat interior object solutions that carry some architectural feel to go with some needed functionality at that.

Another Filipino has gained some attention, this time in the world of furniture making. Vito Selma showcases his line of wooden-inspired furnishings, rendering a stunning and complex furniture design line that carries simple and artistic touches which should be great for any contemporary home setting.

Apparently Vito places emphasis on the bold and nude nature of wood, designing them in a way which should more than gain the attention of people seeking different home furniture for their abode. He refers to it as his ‘partner’, implying an equal give and take of complications and accomplishment, a mutual understanding. The result is that the wood seemingly assimilates the literal ‘flow’ of Vito’s creative outputs and his inspirations.

Priscilla is a 1950’s rosewood chair that is a product of Adam & Viktoria, a Swedish textile and furniture design firm run by Adam Gistedt and Viktoria Nygren. The fabric is made in Portugal, and the furniture is upholstered by the designers in their studio in Drottningholm, a village near Stockholm.

So if you look at it, it seems that this chair focuses a lot on the fabric used. Although you can order the fabrics of the Priscilla chair separately, the whole lot costs $3,900.00.

The Inmod Fiberglass Shell Chair serves as an example of what Inmod has in mind. Actually, it is an online interactive tool where you can create your own furniture in real time. These days, the demand for modern yet wiser furniture design and materials used is a given and Inmod can provide you with great ideas as well as prototypes on what to look for.

Unique in that it’s made with fiberglass as was the original Eames shell chair, the Inmod Fiberglass Shell Chair has both an accuracy and beauty other reproductions can’t match. The magnificence of the fiberglass’ surface texture, and thus the look of the chair as a whole, simply cannot be captured in a plastic reproduction. The commercial quality of the Inmod Fiberglass Shell Chair makes it ideal for both the home and contract markets.

You can really make a statement with regards to the type of furniture design. And for Hannes Grebin, taking it to another concept using varied design ideas can prove to be modern and ergonomical if twisted and turned in all the right places such as this one conceptualized by Grebin’s asymmetric designed furniture ideas.

“I wanted to dissolve the otherwise clear symmetry of furniture and its visually coded function. I found out that terms like taste or comfort are a matter of learning, which are changing at any time and can easily be adapted. Therefore, in an experiment I tried to dissect the familiar image of cosiness. Despite their fractal and asymmetric geometry the furniture perfectly meets the demands of ergonomics.”

Ordinarily, being billed with poor health is something that can act as an obstacle towards achieving fulfillment. But do not tell that to Andrew Lynch, a father of three who is battling brain cancer while trying to finish a degree in furniture design in UCOL.

But the path towards it is not easy. You can just imagine the pain he has to go through to put furniture design perspectives in order. Apparently it all boils down to how far he can reach. Furniture design is an art but it requires a lot of thinking as well and perhaps one thing that is holding up Mr. Lynch is his desire to fulfill this much coveted dream in the furniture industry.

Mr Lynch won bronze in the furniture making category at the National Woodskills Festival last weekend for a vanity table he crafted during the course last year for his wife of 25 years.

“It’s where girls put all their make-up and lip stuff and put a box for their jewellery and they say there’s never enough,” Mr Lynch said with a cheeky glint in his eye.

He gave the table to Jill as a birthday present last September but she could only admire it for a single night. It had to go back on show.

An Inspiring Tale of a Furniture Designer

Having a party? Well normally in parties, where to place food other than the dining table may become an issue, especially if you talk about not having the luxury of space. Buffet-type of occasions will leave you and your guests finding other places where to eat and put your plates and glasses on. Worst, it may even ruin other furniture through stains and scratches. But not anymore!

eBuffet has released a sleek looking sideboard that can address such food placement problems. With your food concentrated in one part of the dining room, never again will you have to worry about how to dine properly.

This modern, three-door sideboard constructed of wood, glass and steel is truly a unique piece of buffet furniture. It has a curved design, setting it apart from traditional furniture design. This sideboard is constructed using select hardwood which has been properly dried to prevent warping and cracking. This sideboard has been properly sealed with a hand painted finish. The glass doors and top give it a sleek finish, and provide handy storage and display space. The stainless steel feet and supports tie this dark oak finished buffet together, completing its unique contemporary look and making it a very sturdy piece of furniture.

eBuffet Unveils New Dining Room Sideboards

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.
