Looking for all things furniture related, I stumbled upon this photography exhibit called "human furniture" by David Blázquez. This exhibition is on display at El Fotomata in Sevilla, Spain. In the series of photographs David challenges us with the nude form of the human body posing as inanimate objects. The naked form itself is perhaps most startling and its message that it sends. One consideration by the artist is that if humans were inanimate objects capable of being still as opposed to our boisterous demeanor. Is that even possible? Another dimension is the way you can feel like you are "being watched" even in a room by yourself. Does that mean that we can be watched by objects such as a table or ironing board? Can our minds project an element of humanism in inanimate objects? The concept of humans as furniture is itself startling. It is not our intent to upset readers here at Furniture Fashion. Yet at the same time if we see something different, we should break the story to readers. More information on the exhibit can be found at El Fotomata.

Marble floors and counter tops may never be the same again thanks to the innovative combination of art, nature and technology used to create the Concetto collection by Caesar Stone. Concetto is created by fusing nature's hues and designs with individually cut semi-precious stones to create a stunning reminder of earth's splendor. The Concetto Collection can be used for a variety of applications including furniture, vanities, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, work surfaces, counter tops, floors, walls, and special features including water fountains. Thanks to a heat, stain, and scratch resistant composition maintenance is low, and the stones are available in dimensions of 119 x 55.5 inches and a thickness of 1 inch (141.5 x 302 cm and a thickness of 25mm). Visit ConcettoUS.com for a look at the entire series of colors and pattens.
