Here are two stylish indoor / outdoor benches from Acronym Designs that are sure to accent their surroundings well. Acronym Designs has prepared the Flat Bench and the Swilken Bench for outdoor use with a combination of reclaimed and refinished hardwoods with concrete or aluminum sides. Inspiration for the Swilken Bench comes from the Swilken Bridge on the 18th Green at St. Andrews golf course in Scotland. This bench follows those principals and uses the simplicity of form to showcase the beauty of the wood. Hidden connections keep the bench sleek. The Flat bench is an exercise in elemental form and complimenting textures and materials, perfect for a more modern environment. The concrete base is rough and industrial, while the reclaimed hardwood top is refined and exhibits the beauty of nature. Available from AcronymDesigns.com
Flat Bench 54.75 "W x 14.5 "D x 18 "H $2500
Swilken Bench 70"W x 16.5 "D x 18 "H $3500
I always enjoy any piece of furniture that can be customized, used as a multi-function piece, or conserve space in the home. The Freedom Bed from ItalyDesign is cool in how it can be customized. The bed rests can be removed from the bed or even placed at different positions around the bed frame. There are also two night stand tables that attach to the frame as well. The tables are detachable as well or can be moved to any position around the bed.
The Freedom bed gives new meaning to people that like to work from their bed! The detachable table would be perfect for a laptop or paperwork that requires attention. I can envision the four bed rests being placed on each side so that children could use them as back rests while playing a board game on the center of the bed. All the bed rests could be removed creating a platform bed look. The look could then be changed by adding the bed rests back making the bed appear more classic in design. The fact is that when you look at a piece like this, the possibilities are limitless.
The metal legs are constructed of tubular steel. The bed frame consists of solid wood construction. ItalyDesign offers a large array of colors so that you can find the color that matches your bedroom. Available at: ItalyDesign. Price: $3,250.

The Original couch sofa combination is a piece of furniture designed to optimize any small space. I find the design of the Original to be quite striking. Flexibility is a critical element when shopping for a piece of furniture which may be the cornerstone for a loft, flat, or small apartment. I love the flexibility in this couch sofa combination. The genius around Original is centered in the four round pieces that make up the seating area. Moving one of the pieces to the front creates a small couch perfect for two people with the ever important ottoman in front to stretch the legs out onto. Keeping all four pieces of the couch sofa in one line create a larger sofa that can accommodate comfortable seating for up to 3 people and if need be 4 people.
Another neat feature is that by turning the pieces you can change where the backrests are. Like in one of the pictures you can see where the backrests are in opposite directions. Though I am not sure how often I would use the feature, I am thankful that I have the opportunity for the multifunction capability. I find the Original couch sofa to be quite attractive. I am a fan of the black-white contrast and feel that adds flair to many room settings. Original features leather upholstery, wooden frame construction, and metal tubular legs. Available at: Original Couch Sofa. Price: $6,800.
Nothing creates a great looking bathroom like the elegant curves of a bathtub and sink hewn from a piece of natural marble. You may agree that your relaxing time is among your most important possessions and should include luxurious surroundings. I Conci takes the design of modern bath rooms to a new level with their clearly defined and very bold shapes. On one hand the Nilo series utilizes a rounded triangular shape for a dramatic statement, while their Colorado and Niagara collections use opposing outer straight lines and inner rounded shapes for a distinctive and stunning visual appeal. I Conci combines modern technology with old world craftsmanship to create bath rooms to endure the test of time like fine art.
