With names like cactus, pebble, and rose you might expect organic shapes and vibrant natural colors. The wonderful glass art from English designer Kate Hume has a concept that gets inspiration from soft things like stones washed by the tide, and strong jagged shapes of precious gems. Kate Hume's glass collection includes over fifty mouth blown pieces of basic forms and she continues to explore new color and texture combinations. Her work encompasses over twenty years of design and styling for several mediums and she is also a partner in the Birdman Furniture company.
If you liked the Metro dining table from Birdman Furniture, then you will probably love the equally stylish Kyoto round dining table. Once again the name would imply an Asian theme, and designer Frans van der Heyden delivers just that in this modern 8 person table. The contrast of the round top and the three bent and tapered legs create a strong look from simple elements that make the best of sharp edges. Birdman furniture offers the Kyoto 170 cm round dining table in four finishes which include light, dark, slate, and rose for adaptation in various environments. The Birdman line includes some really cool lounge chairs, accent tables, and lamps that are a must see.
Sure most square dining tables have four legs but its all in the configuration as to how cool the table will look. Dutch designer Frans van der Heyden used a different approach to the Metro dining table that sets it apart from what's out there. Heyden's "Birdman" furniture line has a distinctly Asian influence that incorporates clean lines, bold shapes, and opposing angles that I find very appealing. The Birdman collection has some really awesome designs that are fun and perfect for the modern minded decorator. The Metro dining table is perfect for 8 guests and comes in 150 or 160cm square x 75cm height.
What do you notice about this sofa, love seat and recliner that make it different from what you may be used to seeing? All of the Fjords by Hjellegjerde items were designed for a unique purpose and making them identical is not the main focus, comfort is. The recliner swivels and has a self adjusting active headrest and separate forward tilting ottoman to allow full support in all positions. The love seat has two individually reclining seats with high back support, perfect for movie watching and book reading. Finally the sofa has three individually reclining low back seats that easily slip into the desired position with out levers of adjustments necessary. The items all are available in one, two, or three seats, in high or low back versions with a variety of color options. The Fjords collection from Norway is perfect for any space needing serious comfort especially home theaters.
