If great sound had a look it would take the shape of the Bang & Olufsen line of audio and video products. Furniture Fashion has preached the virtues of clean lines and minimalist surroundings since our inception and here is my pick for the perfect sound system to complete your contemporary decor. The B & O BeoSound 9000 is the result of a great heritage as a leader in the most innovative sound systems in the business. The BeoSound 9000 can work vertically or horizontally and the hidden buttons and display can be adjusted according to how you choose to use the system so they are never upside down either. Photoelectric sensors protect curious fingers from the accelerating clamper that operate the see through door, and patented Bang & Olufsen technology ensures the six CDs come to rest the way you loaded them, so the text is never upside down. For true sonic perfection hook the BeoSound up to a set of B & O speakers and enjoy. $3995
When putting the final touches on your patio or back yard, don't forget the outdoor speakers to maximize your enjoyment.

Here are some interesting architecture photos of a hair salon in Fuiku, Japan designed by architects Takuya Hosokai and Hiromasa Mori. It is interesting how the angle cuts down from the roof towards the ground. This creates a sense of "cutting edge" which is very fitting for a salon business that must keep up with current styles. The white exterior and interior speak volumes about something "new and fresh" which again fits a new hairstyle. The main window area is the cutting station area to bring focus on the core roots of this business. Though this design is set for a commercial business, I wonder how it would prevail as a house design with some slight modifications. I would certainly want some more windows if this was my house plans. Via.

Hockney is a contemporary sofa sectional with abstract shapes combined with normal shapes. The overall piece looks a bit abstract. Individual parts of the sectional, such as the rounded area, are much more commonplace in furniture design. The compilation of the Hockney sofa is likely attributed to the famous artist. David Hockney could paint from abstract to very detailed portraiture as he was a master at his trade. As far as comfort goes, there is ample room for lounging. The low back height could be a challenge for taller people and would need to be tested by the individual for comfort. The sofa was designed by Rodolfo Dordoni. Measurements: 88" w x 24" h x 142" d. Price: $9,857. Available: here.
