With a desire to simply be the best, Hancock & Moore started their vision to make traditional furniture that would last for generations in 1981. Under the personal guidance of master craftsman Jimmy Moore their name has become synonymous with high quality, and each item bears the signature of the artisans that created it. Each piece is born from solid woods, soft leathers, and fine fabrics that are handcrafted for a look and feel no machine can match.

Ultimate multi-functional laptop table by Lapdawg

lapdawg laptop desk.jpg Guess what, the computer is here to stay! If you do not have one yet, you will, and the large desk top computers are being replaced or linked to a quicker and much faster laptop you can use anywhere in your home. The fine folks at Lapdawg have the perfect laptop table that will allow you to work or play in total comfort from bed, on the sofa, or anywhere you wish to escape. Lapdawg's multi-functional laptop desk easily transforms into a tv tray, personal desk, or a bed tray with the push of a locking button, and can be set in full 360 degree angles. This light but tough table weighs only 5.29 lbs. and can support up to 26.5 lbs thanks to a rigid anodized aluminum frame. Other features include padded wrist guard for added comfort, grooved table surface to prevent slippage, and collapsible frame for easy storage. As a blogger that works from many places in my home, I have shopped for laptop desks and can tell you that there is not a lot on the market to choose from. At $130, this piece is certainly worth a look.

Feel Like a Star in Sibua Dining Chairs

Sibua dining chairs and tables from italy.jpg

How comfortable can an all wood dining chair be? When careful attention to details and shapes are considered the answer is great. The Star dining chair from Sibau of Italy is smoothly carved and contoured, for a seamless, almost one piece look. Sibau was established in Friuli in 1964 and continues to put old world craftsmanship into a remarkably modern product. Close cooperation with renowned designers has kept the mostly dining oriented collection in the forefront of the local and global market. The Star collection includes a dining, and dinette table base which mimic the chair design. Available in Cherry and Wenge.

I have had several inquiries about these chairs. First off they are extremely hard to find. The Star chairs were made in Italy in the 1980s. There is little information about them in publications or on the internet. The last set I saw for sale was a grouping of four chairs for $3,600. If you see these in your local resale shop, be sure and grab them up before a dealer gets them.

SOFA ONE BY KARIM RASHAD.jpg

From designer Karim Rashid a well know name in the modern furniture game comes the Sofa One, a perfect combination of form and function. This eye catching sofa makes use of the unique frame by hosting a wood lined portal perfect for a good book or the all mighty remote control. In addition a small slice of the cushion can be placed to lay flat, or as shown for a chaise lounge look. Smooth rounded edges, back rest cut out, and minimal metal feet add subtle finishing touches to the Sofa One. Available in fabric or leather, left or right facing. 79" L x 32" D x 31" H , seat: 17" H x 21" deep

Once again, Karim Rashid shows why he is one of the top innovative designers around. Each time I see this piece I am mystified. How I would enjoy a chance to sit on one, just to see how comfortable it is and feel the craftsmanship up close.

A Lighter Look for Modern Furniture

People are always working on keeping up with the new trends, from clothing to interior design, and it seems that what comes and goes often comes back again. On a recent trip to the High Point furniture market I could not help but see an emerging trend that we have all seen before coming back. White lacquer, and the shinier the better. Every modern manufacturer has new offerings with stark white as an option and I must say it looks great! For some time now the dark espresso and rich cherry tones have dominated the modern scene and will for some time to come, but you will soon see a lighter option on the next trip to your favorite contemporary furniture store.
