Here are some recent chair designs created by Matthias Demacker for Arrmet. Called the "Formula Chairs", these pieces were recently presented at the Salone del Mobile, which is the international furniture fair in Milan, Italy. I find the design to be striking in how it conforms where the seat meets the backrest. By appearance, the planes of these chairs have been cut out some to provide more support for the person sitting in the chair. Besides the support, the cut outs create a great visual detail about the chair.

The recent recipient of the Australian International Design Mark 2008 is a most unlikely candidate unless you remember how fond the Australians are to outdoor cooking. The Electrolux Integrated EQBH100AS Barbecue grill has aesthetic beauty usually reserved for high quality kitchen appliances that complements rather than clashes with other architectural elements in an outdoor setting. The Electrolux Integrated Barbeque features a superior oil management system that drains waste away from the food into containers that are easily removed from the top of the barbecue for healthier cooking. For Durability and longevity outer surfaces are engineered from 316 marine grade stainless steel which is suitable for all weather conditions and all other components are commercial grade stainless steel, ensuring your Electrolux Integrated barbecue will retain its appeal for many years. Other features include ergonomically designed controls on the side ensuring seamlessly installation into any bench or working surface and continuity of flowing lines. Optional roasting lid available.
New on the kitchen scene for those who take their culinary skills seriously is the new wave of combination convection / steam ovens. This innovative dual oven system combines the dry heat of a convection oven with non-pressurized steam in precisely calibrated portions. It is gentle on food preserving shape, color, nutrients, and flavor, without adding anything harmful or fattening. Combined with hot air, steam opens up all kinds of possibilities like steaming, baking, simmering, braising, reheating, and juicing. Two combination convection steam oven that I recommend are the Viking which holds 5 ΒΌ cups of water and cooks at 212 F for 2 hours, and cooks remarkably even with help from a convection fan. $3600 Another model that caught my interest, and sense of style is the Gaggenau model that has a direct water feed instead of a tank for lengthy cooking time. $4650 Available in 24 and 36 inch widths. True these ovens are a good bit more than a conventional oven, but offer an entirely versatile cooking experience for those who enjoy time in the kitchen.
As I was browsing the internet this morning I came across the website for Garsnas Furniture. I was looking in their "easy/lounge chair" section for some ideas on accent furniture. As a blogger some times it can be hard to make up your ideas about what piece to do a story on. I was thinking that I would let you decide which piece is right for your home. Thus, I decided to feature 11 accent chair ideas and pictures to offer suggestions about what types of products are out there. Often, accent furniture is harder to find since it is not "showcased" in furniture stores as much as larger pieces like sofas, sectionals, and bedroom sets. Hopefully, these images can give you some ideas about what may be a nice fit inside your home or apartment. Take a moment and comment to let us know about your favorite or if you like any of these at all. Via.

Lounging takes on an entirely new meaning thanks to Cor Furniture and designers Kirsten Antje Hoppert and Steffen Kroll of Studio Vertijet. The "Lava" is so many things, "a work of art and a piece of sitting-reclining lounge furniture at the same time, the concept of Lava is as diverse as its uses". The possibilities are endless as the vertical variance reaches down to the floor as soft, upholstered mats transform even this surface into part of the furniture. Cor is not only dedicated to the ultimate in design, their philosophy includes skilled hands and eyes of master craftspeople as well as top quality materials, durability, excellent proportions, and a great deal of skill as the ingredients. The Lava Sofa Lounge is furniture, landscape, and sculpture, unusual in its uses, unique in its design.
