In Home Recycling made Easy by Ecopod

Ecopod Recycling by BMW Designworks I know this is not furniture, but it can be considered an accessory so I felt compelled to let you all know about it. In the ever growing world of "green" and "eco friendly" products the Ecopod is a great idea to assist in recycling. Ecopod along with BMW Designworks conspired on this combination compactor/storage unit that flattens and stores cans and plastic bottles with ease. Designworks wanted to help assist in making recycling one of the most commonly used items simple and rewarding. Of course BMW has a way of making even a trash can look good. $328 At vivavi.com

Quality American Furniture by Spectra Wood

Spectra Wood Franklin Cabinet

Whether you are furnishing your home or office one American made manufacturer is a wise choice in shaker and mission style furniture. Spectra Wood started more than 35 years ago as a family hobby and has grown, but is still a smaller company with around 70 craftspeople. This allows for a close attention to detail as well as a guarantee things are hand created. Using American cherry with finger joints and dove tails they make furniture the old fashioned way, and the quality is very evident. I really love the way natural cherry gets richer with age taking on a very warm feel and its own character. The line includes several styles with office, bedroom, dining, as well as a number of armoires and chests for various purposes.

Clean Modern Furniture from Bo Concepts

Diva Sofa From Bo Concepts

Armed with the slogan" if your home doesn't stand out don't blame us" Bo Concepts designs are as bold as their claim. Know originally as Club 8 this reinvented Modern furniture company has covered all the bases and has something for every room of your home. I really like their hanging wall units and low profile platform beds with their clean lines and beautiful selection of wood veneers. Bo Concepts represents a very good value and manages to offer great styles that play of the modern classics at a less than collector price tag. The Diva sofa in indicative of the upholstery line but the picture does not do the fabric justice, they really have a great selection!

Ivy dining chair by Marie-Christine Dorner

Ivy dining chair Marie-Christine Dorner

For many of us life is so busy that we tend to eat quickly and move on to the next task in life. There are those of us that still relax and converse during dining catching up on the lives of each family member. Spending more time at the dining table is what Marie-Christine Dorner had in mind in creating the Ivy chair. Notice how the chair curves back and seems to fit the posture of the back for an extended period at the dining table. The height of the chair will also support the head and shoulders when the body is leaned back. If your family spends time at the dining table then a chair design similar to the Ivy chair might make your dining experience more comfortable.

Warren Platner Classic Table Series

Warren Platner Coffee Table by Knoll

I know this is not a new piece, but it is a staple in the interior design game nonetheless. The Warren Platner series of sculpted steel wire tables and chairs by Knoll are so clean and timeless they have cemented themselves as an icon of the modern era. I visited a store this weekend specializing in classic furniture and could not help but recognize the simplistic beauty of the small round coffee table. Where other styles rely on flash and glitz, the Platner design makes a quiet but effective statement. See the great classics at Bonaluxat.

Nick Tretiak cork lounge chair

Nick Tretiak cork lounge chair

Cork continues to gain popularity as shoppers search for more environmentally friendly products. Cork is a renewable wood source as the bark is harvested from cork trees every seven years. The tree is not harmed and the bark will grow back naturally. The lounge chair featured here was designed by Nick Tretiak. Nick experimented with cork and furniture resulting in the creation of this piece. He wanted to incorporate the softness of cork and refrain from using a solid block of material. This chair uses cork for the seat and back with the frame being constructed of red oak.

Baleri Italia Furniture that makes a Statement

Baleri Italia Bristol Sofa

When I think of outstanding Italian design that has more than just visual appeal, combining form and function with "glamorous technology", Baleri Italia comes to mind. Inspired by Enrico Baleri and an incredible design team, their goal is to surpass generic and create distinct furniture that is if nothing else, fun to look at. The Bristol sofa available in 2 or 3 seats, has a great transitional theme that will look at home in a classic modern or a traditional environment thanks to its rolled arms and tufted leather. The Bristol is far more conservative than most of the Baleri Italia line, so if you're into ultra modern you won't be disappointed.

Mordern Dining Furniture Keeps Things Light

contemporary dining furniture

I came across this picture and wanted to share it with my readers. Have any of you considered red for your dining chairs? How about a more contemporary look to spice things up? This is an interesting dining furniture combination with a fun and light look. The lines and shapes of the dining chairs offer a very contemporary feel while reflecting on classic designs of the past. The steel legs of the chairs blend with the legs of the dining table with out adhering to a look that is redundant. In addition the glass table offers a clean feel without making the setting to heavy.
