The Elwynn bench is made from a mixture of concrete and steel, thus making it a solid heavy furniture piece which will stand up to the tests of time. It can also be placed outside and sits just as well in a garden as it does in a hallway, living room or kitchen. The concrete and steel have been given a faux bois finish. In French, “faux bois” can be translated to “false wood” and that’s precisely what it is. Ferrocement faux bois uses a combination of concrete, mortar and grout applied to a steel frame or armature to sculpt life-like representations of wooden objects.

Wherever in the home you want a furniture piece to grab people’s attentions, then this delightful tree themed bench will be a perfect addition to the space. Larger homes with bigger rooms will certainly be more suitable to this expressive bench and it can find a great home in a wide variety of interior décor schemes from Bohemian to Classical. You’ll no doubt have a few ideas already of where to put it in your own home. Perhaps in a large spacious entrance area or alternatively in a kitchen interior in place of a traditional breakfast table and chair set.

The two tables, each with a different height and width, are constructed of spiralled metal rods which make up the body and form a strong and secure structure. Glass surfaces continue with the see-through nature of the table and help keep the focus on whatever is placed on top. The perfect combination of form and function is completed with a Canyon Bronze finish. The look of each table means it can combine well with most forms of furniture design already in place in the home whether contemporary or classical in nature.

Two accent tables like this do not have to be solely decorative. They can also be used as side tables next to an armchair or bed, or alternatively they can act as end tables either side of a sofa or cabinet. Their surface space is limited and thus items such as flower vases, sculptures, and picture frames will be best served on such eye-catching furniture pieces. They can however be used as a place to set down a television remote control, a mug of coffee, or a book you like to keep close to hand. There really are endless possibilities for two tables of this nature and they can be situated in just about any room in the home including the bathroom, hallway, master bedroom, or dining room.

The creation of the dripping furniture is nearly as remarkable as the gradual formation of real stalactites. Hot wax was gradually dripped and left to dry before more hot wax was dripped, and thus the process was repeated until an item of furniture such as a table or chair was formed. A mixture of chaos and control was attained and much like molten lave flows, the work seemingly took on a mind of its own. As each drop of wax fell and hardened, it became for Cottingham a kind of balancing act and the artist became more of an observer than controller. Finally, when complete, the hardened wax furniture was cast in metal so as to be ready for presentation and indeed, use.

The Oroboros name comes from the ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It symbolises the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth, thus becoming a significant title for this collection of work which reforms one substance into another and indeed into a completely different form. The destruction of a candle becomes something new and the fire creates when otherwise it destroys. There is a lot of philosophical food for thought with such an interesting melted wax collection of furniture.

They are available for purchase. Contact the artist directly for more information.

The Blu Dot features a collection of eight wooden boxes, available in a variety of different woods, framed together with tubular steel legs. They are formed in such a way that both the interior of each box and it’s ceiling-facing side act as shelf surfaces ideal for the placement of books, decorative ornaments, vases of flowers, and photographs. Positive and negative space is put to good use and the result is a large yet unobtrusive shelving unit ready to fit into a modern and stylish apartment. It is ideal for smaller interior spaces as well which will benefit from the elegant design. There is plenty of surface area on which to put your favourite items. Some will look better within a box whilst others will be more suited to an open-space surface.

The good quality construction adds to the attractive nature of the unit which will look good in a multitude of different interiors in the home. The living room is an obvious choice but it will also be a good quality item for a home study/office/library. Here it will provide shelving for objects related to a home-based business and/or a regular hobby. It will also complement existing wooden furniture of a similar style such as desks, tables, beds, and cabinets.

This French-style boudoir stool’s legs will remind most people of the famous French dancing style known as the can-can. The high kicking dance was hugely popular but not without its moments of scandal. Traditionally the female dancers would wear costumes with long skirts, petticoats, and stockings, sometimes with garters. This bedroom stool also comes with the decorative features associated with French theatre décor including the stage curtains and border frills. A comfortable and plush upholstered cushion provides a welcoming perch on which to apply, or remove, make-up.

The highly unique and delightfully charming Folies Bergère music hall themed stool will make a lovely addition to a bedroom or bathroom with a decidedly classical or bohemian décor theme. It’s humorous and culturally historical which will appeal greatly to people with a fondness and fascination with traditional French culture and history. It’s also a sexy piece of furniture and for women with a naughty streak, the boudoir stool will sit pretty in a related décor and furniture collection. It can also be used as a small table or purely as a decorative element in its own right without being used as a seating item. Alternatively, it can be situated in the living room, dining room, or hallway, where it will definitely attract the attention of visitors to the home.

The dice has its origins in Asia and was in use long before recorded history. Exactly which part of Asia it came from is still a mystery although it’s generally believed to be somewhere close to the ancient Indus Valley civilization in what is now modern day Pakistan. After this, the concept of dice throwing moved to other parts of the world and crept into narratives connected to Biblical events and those of the Roman Empire. Naturally, the shape and look of the dice evolved too which the earliest forms being something we would not recognise today. During the Middle Ages, dicing became a favourite pastime amongst knights who even had schools and guilds for it.

You don’t have to be a member of a dice playing guild to own this attractive dice cube table. The burnt red finish complimented with antiqued ivory dots will look great in just about any room of the home. However, due to its connections with games, it will likely find pride of place in a games room, basement communal area, or kid’s bedroom. However, it will look just as good in a living room or dining room where the unique design will catch the attention of visiting friends and complement existing design features already in your décor scheme.

Credenzas were extremely popular during the latter half of the 19th Century and are thought to have an Italian origin, as the name suggests. This name appears to come from the Latin word for “trust” and is believed to stem from the tradition of placing food on sideboards in full view of visiting guests to highlight the honourable intentions of the host. Some households would even get a servant to test the food to assure everyone that no poisonous schemes had been hatched. However, thankfully, nowadays the credenza acts as a decorative as well as functional furniture piece for the placement of a whole host of items that will not bring apprehension to your friends and family.

This beautifully crafted Sachi credenza can be situated in a number of possible interiors. If you want to keep to tradition, you can locate it in the kitchen or dining room where it can be used to store tableware as well as a display and service space for delicious dishes about to be served at the nearby dinner table. Alternatively, the credenza can be placed in a bedroom where it can take on the role of a bedroom cabinet. If you like to work from home then it can also be a useful storage feature in a home office or library where it can be used for the tidy placement of electronic equipment, books, stationery, and other related items. The surface space is ideal for displaying decorative ornaments, photographs, floral displays, and even a television.

It’s rather futuristic in style and can certainly be called ultra-modern. The reflective quality of the rounded chrome legs spills out into the rest of the room and the glass top brings a much desired lightness, in both senses of the word. The table top surface is relatively small compared to traditional designs but there is enough area to place contemporary statues, a collection of books, some glassware and other bits and pieces you may need close to hand. The Clayton Sofa Table is sturdy and secure and will look great with a variety of sofa styles.

Sofa tables of all kinds have actually been in existence for quite a few centuries and it’s believed it was during the 17th Century when they began to become widely popular. As was the case in the past, the table situated behind the sofa was an ideal location on which to prepare drinks for family, friends and guests. Nowadays, they also double as places on which to leave television remote controls, movie magazines and an assortment of other reading material. However, which such a stylish appearance as seen with this sofa table with curving chrome legs, the placement of decorative items and attractive objects of sentimental value are probably more appropriate. It’s going to be very much an accent furniture piece as well as a functional one.

If and when created, the FBed will provide a furniture treat for social networking addicts. The iconic “F” is known worldwide and is instantly recognisable when seen in the picture above. The main body of the toppled-over “F” is where the person sleeps whilst the upper portion is to be made into a computer desk and seat. When you wake up, you only have to walk a couple of steps and you’re ready to sign-in and begin updating your followers about the strange dreams you had, who you slept with and how comfortable it was sleeping in the FBed. Whether anyone will care, at least concerning the first two points, is another matter.

One symptom of too much computer use is insomnia. Unfortunately, this FBed might contribute further to sleepless nights, migraines and unsocial attitudes the next day. However, it is rather an interesting design and will be a fantastic decorative addition to a young person’s room, regardless of how long they spend on the internet each day. The famous logo and the unique design mean it will be a popular piece of furniture for many of the more modern generation. Put a photo of you sleeping on the FBed on Facebook and you’ll likely get a lot of approving votes of confidence in the form of “Likes”.

The ‘Cupboard’ features metal drawers within a wooden shelf framework. The drawers come in a variety of colors, some seemingly painted. The wood differs from one set to another, with some cupboards in dark wood and others in light wood. With so many beautiful colors and attractive wood frames, the cupboards are sure to find a home in most styles of interior décor and room sizes. At the time of writing, the cupboards are in the prototype stage, which actually allows us to more easily imagine the many potential styles the cupboards could be made in.

The minds behind the design are creative Dutch duo Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders who together form ‘Ontwerpduo’. Based in Eindhoven, the two designers share an old factory hall studio with ten other designers who each have a partitioned studio in the huge space.
