There's not a lot of information on these two products, but I fell in love when I saw them and had to share them. I am a big fan of retro modern living room furniture and here you see two fine examples in a sofa and matching accent chair. The ribbed upholstery creates a throwback theme to days long gone. The catchy aspect is that these pieces are finished well on the ends with fitting angles and shapes creating a "retro look". The slightly indented sides remind me of old commercial seating that you would see at a diner, bus station, or train station. The angles, indention, and shape create this look for me. Perhaps, it is my memory of places such as that in my life. The sofa and accent chair are from the PMco "suite 50" series. Via.
In decorating the spare bedroom, it is often a guess as to what bed to get to accommodate your guests properly. At times you may need a double bed for a couple and at other times single beds for "non-couple" guests. Some guests will not feel comfortable sharing the same bed if they are not a couple. Designer Marcia Hanvey Isaksson has created a solution to this dilemma. This modular bed can be pushed together to create a double bed or separated to create single beds. I really like this design concept for two reasons. One is that it solves a decorating challenge in the home. Secondly, besides it functionality it actually looks cool and very chic modern. Via.
When your designs exude such style they are capable of breaking traditional boundaries and combining the best of old and new you have made a real statement. Roche Bobois is known for their ability to put aside market trends and cost issues and simply produce desirable home furnishings. The IL Teatro sofa by designer Philippe Bouix carries on that historic tradition with a wide expansive seating surface of goose down and full top grain leather shown here in opposing colors which adds a degree of drama to the piece. I particularly like the curved shape that feeds into built in end tables that are accessible thanks to the low profile arms. As shown 387 x 71 x 105 cm other size sofas are available as well as a straight model and ottoman. Also shown Flap bookcase and Archipel coffee table designed by Rene Bouchara.

This may be the wave of the future and interior lighting if NoDesign and the "wanetlight" hanging light are successful. The project by Jean-Louis Frechin of France is an interactive system where a remote control is moved and the sensor adjusts to the motion and in this case the higher the motion the more lights come on and vise versa. Frechin and NoDesign are currently working on several interface projects which will one day be the standard as technology and home décor products continue to merge. See more of the NoDesign interface collection here.
