The design team of Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro form Sand & Birch, a complimentary combination of furniture and architecture that fits our idea of forward thinking. These two sofas are more visual than the common furniture we see in our daily reporting, but you never know what the future holds, Shown in mirrored aluminum with attached lamp, the "Diamond Sofa" features 160 Swarovsky crystals on the large strip that add to its lustrous appeal and is limited to a production of just 100. The similar yet slightly toned down "Velvet Sofa" shares the same spiral shape, but the wooden frame is upholstered in smooth luxurious velvet. The Velvet also features wider slats in the seating and back surface and also features loop arms. See more of the modern furniture and architecture designs from Sand & Birch here.

This product is known as "Obelisk", but I the first notion that came to me was "Lowrider Sofas". The furniture designer was Ross Didier. Obelisk features a very simple form in the shape of a rectangle. The sofa's tilt however, challenges our senses of proportion and nature. Not being accustomed to these angles draws our attention immediately to the product in trying to sort out our own perceptions of proper shape and size. Obelisk is available form Allemuir Contemporary Furniture on their website here.
