Take a look at the Bend buffet/sideboard from Calligaris of Italy. From the picture it's easy to see where the Bend got its name, but what you can't see is the quality construction and close attention to detail that goes into every item they make. I really like the curved frosted glass doors that allow you to hide things without a heavy full wooden face. Since 1923 Calligaris has been a leader in quality modern furniture at excels at cutting edge design that tends to have a good degree of pizzazz and strong visual appeal. Bright colors, high luster finishes, and daring innovative design keep their collection fresh and ever evolving. Calligaris is into complete home décor concepts and makes everything from a full line of furniture for every room, to decorative accessories right down to the dish ware. There are several really cool dining tables that compliment the Bend in clear of frosted glass. $2000 also available in white lacquer.

Often we find ourselves needing more storage for dinner ware, silver ware, place mats, napkins, etc. A great addition to any dining area is a nice sideboard, also known as a buffet table, that can compliment your interior design and provide that extra storage that you need. There is an abundance of wooden sideboards on the market that are more traditional by design. Here I present the opposite, a contemporary creation. This sideboard is lacquered and pictured in white. This piece comes from Insitu Design and is also available in black and red. Priced at 950 pounds, this piece measures 210 x 57.5 x 53 cm.
The term "solid wood" can be a little deceiving at times but Hudson Furniture Inc. is not kidding. Hudson is committed to keeping all of the natural elements of the wood with its geometric shapes and grains using traditional joinery and hand rubber oil finishes. Hudson is a very ecologically conscious organization using no old growth forestry, relying on naturally fallen or wind damaged trees for their main stream of stock. In the words of the founder Barlas Baylar " We put high regard and value on these trees by turning them into pieces of enduring art instead of leaving them out to decay ". All of the products are available in custom sizes in a variety of wood species including Claro Walnut, Black Walnut, Myrtle, Jasmine, Acacia, Satinwood and Ebonized Pine. Hudson Furniture Inc. also has a selection of petrified wood pieces. The full collection includes dining and coffee tables, beds, benches, chairs, sculptures, and console tables with a most intriguing appeal for the lover of fine furniture and nature.
There is nothing better than being proud of your dining setup when you entertain guests. Whether it's your family or closest friends, dining furniture makes an important statement about who you are and what your tastes in design are. It is hard to make a better statement if your affinity is vintage modern design when you have a dining table from the Knoll collection. This oval dining table is a classic that was introduced in 1956 from the Saarinen Collection. The base is made from molded cast aluminum coated with a finish to resist abrasion. The table top comes in natural granite or marble coated with a protective sealer.
For the connoisseur who demands the finest furniture available, Seltz from France will certainly fulfill any expectations you may have. Seltz was established in the 1600's and has remained a company dedicated to meticulous craftsmanship what ever the costs, always putting the product first. The Pentagon dining table and chair collection is one of my favorite pieces shown here in solid steamed beech. For me it is the smooth edges and fascinating structure of the legs that look as though they were twisted from straight pieces of wood. The collection includes a curved backless bench that conforms to the shape of the table, or a dining chair with contoured seat that is remarkably comfortable despite it's all wood construction. The Pentagon also features an optional wooden lazy Susan, or glass insert allowing a good look at the base structure. Seltz has a full line of furniture including coffee tables, curio cabinets, and buffets just to name a few many of which feature beautiful Murano glass tops and accents.
