Quality and great design speak for themselves, and Vanguard Furniture considers both as a main focus in their furniture production. The Michael Weiss Modernism Collection from the Juilliard trained designer is "a study in the seamless blending of contrasts with clean, sleek lines and classic geometric forms presented in refreshing and dramatic modern designs". One piece that really caught my eye was the Esquire Entertainment Console that is finished in near black marquis, and features a contrasting Donovan finish on the two sliding doors made from Cerejeria solids. If classic modern furniture is what you are looking for you have to see the eight collections from Vanguard Furniture that feature a full assortment of stunning home furnishings.

The Vita Audio R4 integrated music system is a "small box" solution to your music needs. Vita has been encased in an attractive package that comes in either glossy white or walnut. I like the dual-speaker look on the front. The small round speaker covers remind me of a retro throw-back version of a stereo long gone. On the other hand, Vita also looks very modern featuring an "up to date" look in electronics. These days electronics can become so dated in a hurry as technology rapidly changes.
Some of the features include a CD player, iPod dock, USB playback port, DAB/FM radio, and auxiliary inputs. Each of these inputs connects to a powered amplifier and speaker system with 80 watts of power. There is also a clock and alarm on Vita as an extra feature. The front and back of the music system have ample room for inputs being designed for easy "plug and play" use while not creating a crowded place for cables. Price: Walnut $987; Glossy White $1,086.
