Crash Modern Bookshelf / Room Divider from Rainer Mutsch
Here is another cool furniture find from designer Rainer Mutsch of Austria. His modern bookshelf or room divider called “Crash” has a very informal look as if the parts crashed together to create a myriad of different shaped storage spaces. This visually striking storage shelf may also be floated off the wall as a room divider and assembles with a series of interlocking panels without any hard ward. See the rest of the unique modern furniture from the Rainer Mutsch collection here.

A Place to Meet: Interior Design Inspiration from Eldridge Smerin Architects

Do you dream of a living space entirely free of distractions? This inspired interior design from Eldridge Smerin Architects is totally free from unnecessary complications. The Zen-like simplicity will grow on you, as you focus only on the most important thing: the people around you. In this calming environment the cluster of comfortable chairs (in a startling contemporary yellow!) adds intimacy. Stark white walls appear gentler by placing the small windows low down, and adding a commercial light to illuminate the top part of the room. Following the wooden slatted pathway through the pebbled floor serves to symbolically transport you to a different place, with a different focus. An out-of-the-ordinary approach by Eldridge Smerin Architects that cleverly manages to be both challenging and cozy – and a perfect place to make plans…

Dishwashing Table Takes Care of the Dishes Once the Food Is Gone
What if your kitchen table was able to clean the dishes once you finished your meals? Would you invest in such a modern piece of furniture for your kitchen? The Dishwashing Table concept in the images below proposes us an all-in-one dishwasher and kitchen table. The actual dishwasher is right in the middle of the table and besides cleaning all the dishes as soon as the food is gone it will also help you keep them warm waiting for your next meal. The Dishwashing Table would be an even more useful furniture piece / appliance for small homes where every square inch matters but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider it for more generous spaces also. Too bad it’s just a concept for now! Via The Design Blog

A Stressless Recliner Experience by Ekornes

I have been closely involved in the retail furniture market from sales and buying, to management for the past 20 plus years. With that having been said, there is very little I have not seen on the merchandise side of the business. From the cheapest to the highest of quality products, it is true, you get what you pay for. As the one man complaint department I am overjoyed when a particular product has historically proven it-s self as a trouble free experience for our customers. The Ekornes Stressless line from Norway is exactly that. Ekornes has produced the best leather recliners and living / media room furniture since 1972. The company has managed to fight off cutting corners to compete with the entire field of look a like cheaper copies, and there are many. In a vain attempt some companies have even tried to adopt the features that have made this chair legendary only to miss by a long shot. Meanwhile the Stressless line continues to evolve into a very ergonomic and stylish collection with comfort as the paramount goal.

The Stressless line has features that are way beyond the competition and it will be evident as soon as you take a seat. First of all, we-re all different sizes and Ekornes makes their models in 2 and even 3 sizes to accommodate various height and width. Some of the features include a separate and active foot rest, active lumbar support, self adjusting headrest, and the new sleep mode which allows an almost flat position. I am most impressed with the quality components that make up the epoxy coated steel frame and how it smoothly adjusts to any position with very little effort. Surrounding their frame is cold cured foam which is injected into molds and takes the shape of the chair. In the curing process the foam develops a hearty shell that is most resilient creating a substantial base. This is then covered with several layers of less dense foam and padding to allow for a most conforming feel. Topped off with a fully surrounding top grain leather and external steam bent laminated beech wood frame, the chairs look as good as it feels. As an owner of two I can testify on a personal level, it is truly a stressless experience.
