Where does the Daytona 500 meet modern design? The answer is the Grand Prix accent chair from Szado. I have to tell you that I am enthralled by the intricate design. This accent piece is so modern and cool that I want one for my home. The lines in this piece bring inspiration from something moving and sleek - that of a race car. Their choice of colors certainly draws inspiration from a racing seat that would be found in a sports car. It's great how Szado was able to incorporate this type of form into their furniture. Avant garde by definition means experimental or innovative. This piece inspires creative genius in modern design by making me think how I can improve the look of my own home.

Verikon, a veteran of Scandinavian furniture produced and designed these two eye catching accent chairs in Denmark and revealed them in Cologne to an overwhelming response. Now the "Lobster" and "Shelly" are slated to debut at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, and I have a feeling the response will be the same. According to Verikon, "designers Oluf Lund and Eva Paarmann, have worked with furniture inspired by the skeletons of the crayfish for quite a while. The fascination by the shell, which doubles as a skeleton and shield of these animals has resulted in the very sculptural and comfortable chairs with a so far unseen construction, which is very strong, like the skeleton of a lobster." Inspiration and construction aside, the Lobster and Shelly show us the modern lounge chair like never before, in a really creative and understated design.

Speaking of interwoven, the Pasmore armchair also by Minotti has a classic look as well with a cascading arm that transition into the leg for an interesting yet timeless look. Pasmore's complimentary ottoman makes this lounge chair as functional as it is attractive. Minotti has a great collection of mature modern furniture that pays attention to longevity and shrugs trends.
