Here are two more hanging lights from the Geometrix series from Schonbek lighting. As you can see the Strass crystals really make this high tech lighting line shimmer with brilliant elegance. Schonbek makes a shape and color for practically every design scheme and application from very small pendants, to chandeliers and crystal trim for recessed lighting. Often modern interiors have a limited selection of hanging lamps that offer a sense of texture and vibrancy that can warm up and personalize a room, and this collection really fills this need.


Who says a dining table needs four legs and a round, square, or rectangular top. Not designer Sacha Lakic, creator of the "Speed Up" modern furniture collection for French maker Roche Bobois. This anything but typical dining table features a very atypical top supported by a racy pedestal for a most hi-tech statement. In a previous post by Furniture Fashion, our readers got a good look at the stunning Speed Up sofa which also takes minimal modern design and incorporates 60's inspiration, creating "a perfect union between functionalism and passion, daring and practicality." I can really see the Speed Up sideboard and dining table combination becoming a focal point of even the most well decorated interior. The sideboard features sliding door, Thermo Shaped frame, and neon lighting in the vertical divider.


Where does the Daytona 500 meet modern design? The answer is the Grand Prix accent chair from Szado. I have to tell you that I am enthralled by the intricate design. This accent piece is so modern and cool that I want one for my home. The lines in this piece bring inspiration from something moving and sleek - that of a race car. Their choice of colors certainly draws inspiration from a racing seat that would be found in a sports car. It's great how Szado was able to incorporate this type of form into their furniture. Avant garde by definition means experimental or innovative. This piece inspires creative genius in modern design by making me think how I can improve the look of my own home.

According to Baker, a leader in classical transitional furniture, "Bill's training and experience leads him to work with craft oriented, exquisitely detailed materials to create items executed with integrity." The Sofield collection includes lamps and hanging lights, decorative pillows, mirrors, candle holders and more for the style conscious decorator.
