Armani Casa contemporary furniture is something you want to keep in plain view but if you must break up the setting they have some room dividers that do justice to the rooms you are dividing. The three room dividers shown here are a perfect compliment to the Armani Casa collection of contemporary furniture which is everything you would expect from a name like Armani. First the Tudor is an eye catching and sophisticated screen with three panels in wood with geometric openwork and covered in gold leaf. The Tudor allows for a differentiation of area yet an open look as well. 60x135H cm Second we have the Winchester 1 Screen with two, three or six panels. Winchester is available in pickled light oak, brown oak or covered in silver spatula-applied stucco. The Winchester 2 is a half height version perfect for a lower room partition that won't block the view of adjoining areas. 75x8x92H cm or 72x8x200H cm The third room divider is the Radetzcky which is a black lacquer panel screen, with ecru and brass color fabric that offer a uniqueness to each panel and a little texture to your room. Radetzcky is made up of three units, each measuring 60x4x180H cm.




For a really clean contemporary and creative series of bent wood and laminated home and kitchen accessories, DMK Collections of the Sintesi Gruppo of Italy has it covered. The collection includes heat bent laminated birch round and oval serving trays, oval vases, waste baskets, and carved solid vases in various shapes. DMK also focuses on Japanese style serving dishes and sushi plates, a nice compliment to an Asian inspired interior. My personal favorite is the oval poufs or small stools perfect for extra seating. The full DMK series includes a great slection of sushi plates and serving mats, and ceramic plate and dish sets.

Furniture Fashion received this submission of a cool modern wall clock from industrial designer, Christos Vittoratos. This modern wall clock, called Uhrzahl, is produced by Heintze & Blanckertz a small manufacturer of arts and crafts, which was founded in 1842. It cooperated in early 20th century with famous graphic designers like Rudolf Koch, Paul Renner and Edward Johnston, so Christos tried to design a product on the interface between graphic and product design. The watch hands are the same like on old German station clocks (but the smaller size). Designer: Christos Vittoratos.
