Boca Do Lobo set out to create distinctive furniture and I think they did just that with their SOHO sideboard that tastefully reveals the acceptable side of eclectic. The mission of Boca Do Lobo furniture builders is to "combine their accumulated wisdom and large years of experience, love and dedication to the art they perform, and personality that is built on an apparent contradiction: the merging of the artisans' capacity and technical vision with the designers' creative passion. The SOHO sideboard is a series of styles, decorative handles, and finishes with simple lines and subtle details that will surely be a hit at your next dinner party. 140W x 48D x 90H cm

Designer Rick Ivey has shaped metal into contemporary bookcases featuring interesting shapes with a tower-like design. Each shelf has its own cubby-hole for book storage. This is more of a decorative piece than a unit that can store a lot of books should you have a large collection. The effect creates a cool visual to draw the attention of guests in the home. These contemporary bookcases come in black, white, and rust colors. Each piece is $750 and can be purchased here.

In all my years in dealing with "real" Scandinavian furniture I have to say that Dyrlund of Denmark is unlike any other manufacturer I have seen. The Skyline Executive desk makes a great impression in any commercial office environment with its thick expansive top and opposing curved base, especially in Rosewood as shown here. Behind the desk you will find thin concealed drawers that respond to a push and an optional return with storage so the top of the Skyline executive desk can remain as free from clutter as possible. Dyrlund also has a stunning collection of complimentary wall storage systems, executive desk chairs, and seating in Ash or Rosewood. Desk and Return $9999 from Smith Interiors
Andrej Statskij is a designer from Lithuania who recently sent me his latest release. This collection is called "Urban Colours" and features a unique contrast between red and black. These pieces have different configurations while always focusing on the relationship between red and black.
Andrej wrote me this description about his latest collection: "Mix of colours in the dark urban night is a basic idea of the Urban Colours Collection by Lithuanian designer Andrej Statskij. Black, yellow, and red colours mix like the mix of feelings of modern urban inhabitants after hard working day. The collection include a sofa, a sofa-couch, and an armchair with shelf,seating-pouffe and coffee table." Website: Andrej Statskij.

Furniture Fashion has reviewed some innovative "small space furniture" this year, and here is the best one I have seen in a long time. From BoConcpet comes the perfect ottoman / extra fold out bed combination that takes up a miserly 2 square feet and easily folds out to a full lenght sleeping surface. By day use it the ottoman to comfortably prop up your feet, and at night simply lift off the fabric cover and unfold the sturdy metal frame for an over night guest or yourself if you get kicked out of bed. $499-699 depending on fabric selection. Available at BoConcept specialty stores and authorized dealers.
