Ljus stands for ‘of light’ or ‘of color’ in Swedish but overall looks more like a chair bound in latex. The chair was made with the human form in mind, hugs every surface and offers an intimate relationship between furniture and the owner.

The Ljust chair was designed by Archgoemeter which made use of some 3D technology using Leah Jung as the model. Since the shape of the seat and back as well as the curved surfaces of the sides are a direct response to the properties of the human body, the Ljus Chair has tremendous potential for mass customization.

A home may not always be complete without the traditional sofa and depending on the design preference, it could be costly. But a good alternative is to perhaps contract good designers and furniture makers to create a copycat image to which you may have to pay less.

There are a lot of upholstery makers and designers out there who can get the job done and among them include the likes of Ameer Radwan who manages Couch, a shop located in Fremont. With more than 200 custom made models in their wing, you are bound to find a sofa that may be familiar but costs less. If not, you can perhaps ask them to make you one based on the couch or sofa that you are aching to have but unfortunately cannot afford.

Radwan is proud to be able to provide eco-friendly couches as well. He tells me that to be considered eco-friendly, a couch must be made with Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, organic latex instead of standard polyurethane foam, and water-based glues and stains on any exposed wood, as well as sustainable, non-chemically treated fabrics. An eco-friendly sofa from Couch will run you about $2,000, much less than the $5,000 $7,000 his competitors ask.

In a world where the economic times have unfortunately dictated costing and pricing, beds and mattresses are not spared from escalating prices. Raw materials are seen as the main reason for this and apparently, bed manufacturers really have no choice but to jack up their price even if sales may sorely be affected.

The bad thing about this is that people are really feeling the crisis bug. With finances needing to be addressed according to what a person would need, some people are forced to make do with what they have, old beds and mattresses that have to do until such time that they can see their income improve.

Global prices of latex, cotton and polyester – the main raw materials for mattresses – have gone up in the past few months. Latex prices went up by 60% while prices of cotton grew by 20% in the last two months. Prices of polyester also surged by 25% in the same period.

The combined price rise of raw materials has affected the profit margins of the industry by 15-20% in last three months, experts said.
