Here is a compact sofa sectional from Artifort that is perfect for small spaces in need of a lot of style. The "More Mare" by designer Rene Holten is part of this year's collection that features some awesome modern seating with very clean modern lines focusing on a minimalist concept. This design manages to offer a very generous chaise lounge and sofa section together in one piece which usually works well in lofts and apartments where space is an issue. Combine the More Mare sofa sectional with one of the shapely accent chairs by Artifort for a well matched look. See the collection here.

When it comes to modern designers, George Nelson ranks right up near the top in terms of contributions to furniture design. The Sling Sofa pictured here was manufactured in the 1960s by Herman Miller. The frame is constructed of chromed tubular steel. The seat contains black leather cushions over a leather and rubber sling seat. A piece like this is a modern classic that would fetch from $2,000-$4000 in the open market today based on its condition.

Among the new products from Artifort's chair and seating collection for this year is the Magnolia chair from designer Jacco Bregonje. According to Bergonje the Magnolia armchair "combines the better of two worlds: design and architecture. The organic shell seat is fully foam-filled and provides fantastic comfort and fits perfectly into the celebrated Artifort collection". This eye catcher works well for reception areas or for a nicely decorated modern home. See the entire Artifort furniture collection here including the rest of this years additions. H74 x D82 x W x 86 cm
Spring chairs are a creation from Modern Bamboo that take sustainable bamboo and shape it into functional furniture. Modern style defines the chairs which nearly form the letter "S" which in fact should stand for simple, since simplicity defines the overall chair style. Spring chairs could work at the right dining table or provide accent chair seating in a living room. Measurements: 21" x 17" x 37". Available: here.
Danish based VerPan in cooperation with Marianne Panton and family has received the rights to reproduce some of Verner Panton's famous lamps and lighting designs. The VerPan philosophy is "to produce lighting in accordance with the original Verner Panton principles; creating a synthesis between quality and originality with immense respect for his special talent for working with light". Personally I am glad the mid-century modern classics are being offered and shared with the new generations who could use some help from the founders of the movement. Here are a few that caught my eye but you can see the rest of the lamp and hanging lamp collection here.
