Harp Chair

Filed under: Decor


Now I haven't had the luxury of actually sitting in this chair, but based on the looks of it and the fact that it's largely made of string makes me think it's probably very comfortable. Designed by Jordan Hoveltskov in 1963 the harp chair is surprisingly simple: it's a lounge chair made of 2 pieces of solid wood (your choice of natural ash, black stained ash, American cherry, or natural oak) combined with string. That's it. It does look a little like a harp from certain angles, but don't get your hopes up -- it doesn't play music. $1128-$11250

The Loopty Loopy Loopita

Filed under: Decor


Try to say "Loopty Loopy Loopita" ten times fast -- it'll put your tongue in a twist that looks something like this chair I bet. Every so often a design puts off a vibe that's pure happiness, and to me this is one of those designs. The name obviously inspires laughter, but the chair itself looks like a big orange peel to me -- which inspires more laughter. What does it look like to you?

Designed by Victor Aleman, it's flexible as far as how many "loops" you want and how far apart they're spaced, and it's made from a single piece of red oak coated in high-density foam. Talk about interesting seating arrangement possibilities by mixing and matching several Loopty Loopy Loopitas together in the same room! Definitely not for the serious at heart.

Too Peace Table

Filed under: Decor

The Too Peace Table is a balancing act, it's two pieces maintaining the perfect angle needed to support it. Don't be fooled by the delicate look, though: there is actually a small stainless steel leg behind the solid wooden base that makes this table as sturdy as you could need it to be. The table is available in solid ebonized oak (pictured), which would be a good choice for a modern black/white themed room, or solid cherry, for something warmer. The tabletop is solid glass. Prices: $1,600 (oak); $1,800 (cherry).

Full Bodied Cabinet

Filed under: Decor

This cabinet is definitely a must-have for a wine lover. Wine barrels are often discarded after a few years of use, but this one was reworked into a great cabinet/end table. The barrel stands just over three feet high and has a door that opens to one side, revealing an inner storage shelf and plenty of space for just about anything that needs storing. On top of the white oak barrel is a removable maple serving tray, so the barrel can be used as a serving station at a party, as well as as a simple storage device. Price: $850.

Armani Ginza Table

Filed under: Decor

The Ginza Table is a lovely dining room table from the Armani Casa collection. The table is made in Italy and has rich brown oak paneling. It is large, measuring 29 1/2" x 106 3/10" x 41", with single-piece legs that are slightly flared "to evoke lightness." The flair of those legs, in addition to the basic lines of the table, also give the piece a slightly Asian look to it: streamlined and simple, yet elegant. It is a timeless piece of furniture that will complement many home designs. Price: $5,995.

There is another picture, to provide a sense of scale, after the jump.

Intersect Mirror

Filed under: Decor

Mirrors generally get attention for what they reflect, not what they actually look like. The Intersect Mirror from CB2, the funkier counterpart of Crate & Barrel, deserves the attention for itself. The mirror itself is positioned in the overlapping area of two espresso-colored oak frames, which at 8-inches deep, double as shelves for small candles or other objects that you might wish to display. It can also be coordinated with some of the other CB2 frames, like the Milan Mirror, to create very modern, unusual designs for your wall. Price: $179.

Recycled Wine Barrel Wine Bottle Rack

Filed under: Decor, Wine

This is another type of recycled wine rack, handmade out of two extra-wide barrel staves with a barrel lid for a base. The Recycled Wine Barrel Wine Bottle Racks are constructed from high-quality reclaimed oak wine barrels, finished to protect the wood and insure its longevity, and reinforced with a metal rod. Color and texture varies from rack to rack, influenced by not only the grain of the specific wood, but the wine that the barrel once held. Adding to the authenticity of each rack is the unique imprint, in the form of a logo or label, on the head (lid) of the barrel that acts as the base of the rack. Racks like these are not only functional and eco-friendly, but are truly works of art. Price: $500.
