I am always on the look out for tips on great stories that our readers can enjoy. Our friends at Freshome ran a great story on beds featuring 16 examples of extreme modern beds. I included two of the featured pieces in this article. The first example doubles as a bookcase and focuses on using a minimal amount of space. The second picture highlights a canopy bed featuring contemporary styling. Via - Freshome.
When a name like Armani is involved, be prepared for some really stunning designs. Armani Casa does not disappoint the lovers of fine home furnishings who have a discerning taste and demand the ultimate in contemporary furniture. The two beds shown here have completely contrasting themes, yet a universal "zen" like quality that offers a crisp clean addition to modern architecture. The Osaka four poster bed with upholstered headboard and frame, comes in brown oak, grey oak, or sucupira for a distinctly Asian theme. The upholstered headboard can be dismantled, all the covers removed, and is available in leather or in various fabrics from the collection. The canopy is made in silk taffeta, inserted laterally in the frame, and can be removed in full for a change of pace. The Omega, is a much lighter but very bold platform bed with upholstered headboard and frame in brown oak, sucupira or anthracite grey lacquer. The upholstered headboard can be dismantled and all the covers removed and is also available in leather or fabrics from the collection. The Osaka canopy bed is available in King or California King while the Omega platform bed is available in King, California King, and Queen sizes. You must see the entire Armani Casa collection, beware the stuff isn't cheap!!
As many of you readers know, I am a fan of mid century modern. I think a lot can be learned from the past as a lens to the future. Many new furniture designs are interpretations and tweaks from past furniture designers. Paul McCobb was a mid century modern master that brought many creations to the public during his career. The Paul McCobb nightstands here detail the quality and artisanship of his work. The first descriptive term that comes to mind for me is minimalist. There is very little wasted space. But when you think about this piece, it has very basic elements that are quite common today. I saw some retail pieces a few weeks ago that featured one drawer with a space atop it for tucking away a book or other items. The difference between the two items was that these were made 40 years ago in the 1960s. A pair of Paul McCobb nightstands such as these would cost around $1,400 from a dealer.
Nicole Miller is literally an icon in the world of fashion that exploded on the scene with her "little black dress" more than two decades ago. Miller's design aesthetics and contemporary flair has inspires her exquisite collection of home furnishings perfect for a classically decorated home interior. At first glance it is apparent that this stunning collection produced in Italy by expert craftsmen will defy the test of time with its graceful silhouette. The Park Avenue four poster bed and Madison panel beds are my idea of a great looking combination of form and function with a serious focus on style. In addition Nicole Miller's contemporary furniture line includes living and dining room furniture each with a distinct flair that exudes class.
