The Elite furniture company from California has really stepped up to the plate and worked with some leading American designers to create an awesome modern line of original works. Elite has combined wood, metal, and glass for a timeless and sophisticated look that is quite distinct and structurally sound. The Tangent square dining table is one of my favorite pieces which works well with several of their matching dining chair and barstool combinations. Tangent is available in rectangle, square, and round to fit any room setting. Square or rectangular tables often fit in a room better than rounded varieties. In addition, the small square variety is great for a loft or apartment where you want to maximize space and yet be able to entertain for a dinner party. Available in 48" round, 42x74" rectangle, and 54" square dining tables, and 48" square bar table 36" high. Various wood and metal finishes available.

As an admirer of quality furniture combined with sensible design, I can't help but like the Lex Series from Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams. The one thing that is so appealing is the updated touches to this 50's modern inspired collection. The buffet has ample storage combined with nickel plated drawer pulls, alder solids, walnut veneers, and charcoal finished drawers rounding out a well crafted piece. In addition to dining room furniture, the collection includes a full line of bedroom case goods. Shown in Nero: 76L 20D 28H
There is nothing more cool than a really great looking modern Italian style and Bonaldo is definitely keeping up with the times. The Chat and Double Chat rectangle dining tables are perfect for the minimal modern décor especially when they are combined with the latest poly molded chairs. Designers Dondoli and Pocci included an anodized frame with a plate glass or Doluflex top to coordinate with a great selection of chairs also offered by Bonaldo. Included in the collection are some really nice sofas, accessories, and additional dining and table chair combinations.
I was browsing for furniture at Ralph Lauren Home and came upon the RL-CF1 silver dining chair. The picture caught my eye, because this piece is so modern in style. My visions of Ralph Lauren Home are very traditional pieces in regular browns and blacks that would be perfect in a conservative decorated house. This piece, however, is very modern with a touch of art deco. The metal on the dining chair is made of carbon fiber. The seat and back are made of white leather.
I was most surprised of the price tag on this chair. This piece actually has a MSRP. Normally, I only see a MSRP when I am shopping for a new car. Anyway, priced at $15,395, this piece is about the same cost as buying a car, and I am assuming that this is the price for a single dining chair. Of course, if you need six chairs, you would be near $100,000. I wonder if this is a misprint and the chair is supposed to be around $1,500.
