Today's office furniture and office environments are not as stale and boring as they were in the past, and the furnishings have kept up with the demand for style. Arper and designer Jean-Marie Massaud conspired to created the Ashton executive desk chair series which is perfect for conference rooms, commercial offices, and executive meeting rooms. The Direction, Office, and Conference models are distinguished by the height of the chair-back and are available in a choice of two bases: a 4-star base with optional automatic seat positioning mechanism, or 5-star base with castors and a gas-operated height adjustment mechanism. Catalog and pricing available here.

I am a big fan of mid-century modern and this Paul McCobb serving cart is an excellent example of why these pieces are so collected today. The serving cart is from the Irwin Collection and features a travertine top which I love since it protects the wood from heat or liquids. There are also two small drawers which come in handy as well as three levels upon which to store items. The serving cart is on wheels to provide mobility. Now, this piece is a bit weathered, but there is no reason it could not be cleaned up with some refinishing and touching up.

I love the shape of this teak occasional table made by France & Son in the 1960s. The two level design with caning on the second level creates a wonderful piece for a modern living room. This table was designed by Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen of Denmark. Keep a look out in your thrift shopping for a nice table like this.
