Having worked in office environments for many years, I know that the design of the setting can go a long way towards enhancing the experience of the employees. For example, hip and fresh designs and colors indicate new ideas and growth. Conversely, drab colors may indicate a more mature company that is on "auto-pilot". I myself have worked in both environments. I came across an interesting company, Arcadia Contract, which has a "very cool" line. In these pictures you see great colors, shapes, and designs that are sure to brighten up any office setting. I found their line of modular office furniture to be inspiring for companies looking for fresh and new ideas. You can find a link to their site here.

As part of a three part Furniture Fashion series on the bathroom vanities from La Roccia, we see a little more of a rustic look in their Nirvana collection that still bears a striking modern look.

Furniture Fashion received this submission from designer, Ryan Dart. Ryan lives in North Carolina and has just begun his career reaching out to the design community.

For part 2 of our series on the exceptionally stunning bathroom vanities by La Roccia we feature the Line O' and Line O' Round collection that has an equally dramatic look as the Nuda, but features a more substantial storage and rounded fronts on some models. The Line O' series also offers some really bold colors, wood stains, and much thinner stone tops that create a light and sophisticated look characteristic of a fine resort or a five star hotel. La Roccia creates my idea of dramatic Italian style with mostly wall mounted elements which accentuate the minimal and uncluttered design.

Scala del cielo translates into English as "scale of heaven". That is an apt description of these beautiful Italian glass shelves from Tonelli of Italy. I really like the simplicity of the shelves, the fact that they are petite, and that they gradually climb upwards. I find them more so a decorative item than that of a storage solution. Measurements: 120 x 24 x 118 cm; thickness: 12 mm; weight: 26 kg. Available: Here.
