Hedi Slimane Designs Furniture

Filed under: Decor


Photographer turned furniture designer Hedi Slimane's newest endeavor into the world of office furniture is a structured and geographical one. Using ebonized stainless steel, his creations include desks, chairs, and shelves that use a pattern of angles, squares, and thin lines to create a modern minimalist appearance. Although sleek and beautiful to look at, and sure to make a statement as part of a decorating scheme, I can't say they look comfortable at all to actually sit on or use. But then, that's obviously not the point.

Jet Age Furniture

Filed under: Decor


Another great find from the CA Boom show was Jet Age Furniture. The company is the work of two metal-loving childhood friends, Damien Mavis and Pat Arnold who both wound up with degrees in Mechanical Engineering. They have created a line of sleek and simple aluminum and glass desks and tables that are meant to match with Emeco chairs.  The dining table/desk shown here sells for $1995 and would look great in downtown loft. They also sell an aluminum and glass table that can be purchased with separate Tic Tac Toe Xs and Os.
