The beauty of the mountains is majestic and special when it comes to architecture. The residence here is the Whistler Cay house measuring a whopping 5,000 square feet. The home is nestled in Whistler, Canada on a stunning mountain backdrop with wonderful views of the resort. The furnishings inside the home are beautiful as well. The fireplace is perfect and speaks of a ski resort style. I find the home interior to be very inviting and warm, perfect after a long day of skiing. Though not in the pictures are the many terraces outside the home. These have been designed for family use and even include an outdoor fireplace for the family. One of the challenges was building this home on a mountain grade. The residence was designed by AKA Architects and can be found here. Via.

The Pixel Sofa from Dune Furniture is just that - pixilation. Thinking of digital images and how pixels make up the image, what if you changed a few pixels to a different color? This is the effect in this sofa as a few sections have been made white on an otherwise black background. Before I was thinking about pixels, my first impression was that of a domino. I found myself trying to count the white spaces to see which domino it was! Nonetheless, this piece is interesting though its color pattern may be tricky for most people to match to their home's furnishings. Product: here.

Combining colors with a mirror makes an eye catching accessory in a home. First off, a mirror naturally draws the attention of a person due to its reflective nature. We are curious and want to see the reflection and perhaps look at ourselves as well. Combining the mirrored surface with great surrounding colors makes a wonderful statement for a contemporary decorated home. This product is called "Ledge" and is made of wood veneer or a high gloss lacquered MDF. Ledge was designed by Michael Solis and can be found here.
If you are looking for bright colors with a modern look the Flip Flap daybed may be just the piece for your living room. My favorite feature on Flip Flap is the super magnet that holds the cushion. The cushion can be adjusted into any position while the super magnet is strong enough to hold it in place. This is wonderful since you can see that the daybed can become a nice chair or a longer chaise type chair depending on which side you sit on. Flip Flap was designed by Ana Mir and is constructed of polyurethane foam over a wooden frame with stainless steel legs. Information: Dune Furniture.
I don't associate the human tongue with furniture design in any way. You can therefore understand my surprise at this modern chaise lounge I came across. This chaise is a tongue! An interesting design, this piece of furniture does have the rolls and inclines that you would need to properly recline your body at the right positions. I can't help but think of the Rolling Stones when I see this chair since a tongue is a common logo for the classic rock n' roll band. This piece would also be perfect at a museum for children showing the history of the human body as an educational piece. Product: here.
