Recently Met Home did a price comparison for two similar modern four poster canopy beds, the In Heaven 2 by Zeitraum which we featured here at Furniture Fashion, and the Architecture bed from Room & Board. If you are looking for a good buy and are on a budget then the price difference may be something to take note of. The In Heaven 2 canopy bed starts at $6500 in Queen while the Architecture Canopy bed prices in at a reasonable $900. I personally like the looks of both beds but the removable headboard on Zeitraum's version is not enough to justify the hefty price difference.

Furniture Fashion is not saying to stop recycling your old newspapers so keep up the good work. However we can help save trees in another way by using creative fireplace accessories like the NewsPaper Log Roller that helps make a nice warm and cozy slow burning fire while eliminating the need to cut or cart firewood home. The tighter you roll makes the logs denser, which allows them burn longer. See some other Furniture Fashion fireplace accessories here including ethanol and natural gas burning fireplaces.
I always have admiration for minimalist pieces as they focus on the bare essentials as the true heart of their design. The M3231 Bench by Ilaria Marelli Studio illustrates that principle. M3231 features thin stainless steel in construction of its frame and backrest. The seat uses teak wood to create a comfortable area upon which to seat. Measurements: 95 cm x 200 cm x 31/60 cm.

The use of plexiglass intriques me in furniture design due to its hardness over glass and its see-through abilities. Ilaria Marelli designed Segretto to be a bedside table with something extra. There is a secret drawer to "hide our dreams" as the designer describes. Segretto is made of plexiglass and plexicore. Measurements: 42 cm x 42 cm x 43 cm. More information: here.
