Cappellini exemplifies the look and design you would expect from a leader in high end "ultra modern" Italian furniture. As with anything you have to start with a good plan, and in the case of the Nina Rota modern round bed, that plan came from famed designer Ron Arad. This inviting round bed features a metal and wood structure, multi-density polyurethane foam padding, and fixed cover in various fabrics and leathers. The cool lines of the Nina Rota round bed incorporates a fixed headboard with padded cushion in the same fabric or leather as the bed, and a semicircular trolley on casters available in two dimensions.

Here is a cool modern gadget for the beer drinker in the family, which also seems like a great gift idea for the holidays. The Plasma Mug induces an orange glow between the walls of an evacuated, double-walled glass mug best appreciated in low light. The bottom of the mug lights up while it's sitting on its electric coaster also creating fiery traces if a finger touches the outside wall of the mug. Place the Plasma Mug on the electronic coaster and orange plasma lightning radiates inside the mug. This may be you chance to get your partner trained in the benefits of "using a coaster" as well. $19.95 From 2Shopper.com Plasma Mug 5.5" H 3" Dia Coaster is 5" wide. Via

The pseudo wing back design and tufts offer a timeless appeal that Wegner's famous Scandinavian chairs have become well known for. The Papa Bear PP19 was re-released in 2003 in a selection of fabrics and leathers starting at a manufacturer's list price of just over $12K 35.4" W x 37.4" D x 39.8" H
