One of my favorite modern furniture lines is the Elite Modern collection from California for several reasons. Elite has obvious style and they don't take it from others, relying instead on a wealth of talented designers for all original works. In addition they have the most solid construction around consisting of heavy gauge welded steel and other quality components. The Verso dining table and sideboard shown here has a very crisp look you may expect from a swank Italian company with a much heftier price tag. The Verso dining table and sideboard series is simple and right to the point, yet it still manages to make a very strong statement. One nice feature is the bench seating Elite offers with several of their dining chair sets which maximizes space and offers a unique look.
In the constantly changing fashion fueled furniture market, manufactures follow the trends that bring new looks to the public. One of the hottest up and coming trends for the 2008 furniture season is the color white which has really been embraced by the modern sector. This year Elite Modern from California has added white as a option on all of their collection consisting of some awesome original designs. Elite specializes in occasional tables, dining table and chairs, bars, bar stools, sideboards mostly of heavy gauge steel. The Elite Modern line has a very classic look that is quite reasonably priced made right here in the good ole USA.

On a trip to the Natuzzi headquarters in High Point North Carolina this fall, I had a great look at their 2008 collection of sofa groups, recliners, accent chairs, and sectionals. I say look, it was far more than that. Actually it was several hours of sitting in luxurious leather furniture that was simply stunning to the eye, and pleasing to the touch. One of my favorites was the Nicolaus collection shown here with adjustable ratchet headrests, backless corner, tufted sides, and comfortable soft wide arms. In addition to their legendary handmade leather upholstery, Natuzzi has probably the best looking accessory collection I have seen. Everything you see here from the area rug to the lamps, even the sideboard is all part of a comprehensive series of awesome decorative accessories by Natuzzi. In addition to the wide array of leather colors and grades, they also offer a full selection of microfibers.

One name that is getting a lot of attention in modern furniture lately is Viccarbe, and for good reason. The entire collection has a clean minimal look that makes great use of high quality materials and some very well known names in design. One of my favorite pieces from their collection is the Levitt by designers Ludovica and Roberto Palomba which includes a sofa and oversized chair. The seamless seating surface offers generous room thanks to an armless design. Probably the best view of the Levitt sofa is from behind which reveals a stylish wrap around back rest, far to cool to be put against a wall.
