Misfits Modular Sofa

Filed under: Decor


This is one bright purple couch! The Misfits Modular Sofa both looks like something out of a cartoon and acts like something out of a cartoon with its many shapes and configurations. It consists of corner and central elements along with two footstools, all of which can be arranged pretty much however you want. According to Unica Home the sofa elements "look natural as if shaped by wind and sea," but in my opinion they look more as if shaped by a Muppet. Although I do like it I don't think I could ever take it seriously! It really looks like like something meant to play on, not to relax and have an adult conversation on. Designed by Ron Arad the pieces are sold separately for $3,489 - $7,235.

Clover by Ron Arad

Filed under: Decor


Some pieces of furniture just strike a person as darling, and this is one of them. Clover, designed by Ron Arad, is a small armchair sculpture in the shape of a four-leaf clover. Simple, pure, and fluid, this white polyurethane monobloc is manufactured by Driade in Italy. I usually complain when there's a lack of color choices, but I think this one is just perfect in white. It's described as organic and sensual, though I see it as more whimsical than anything -- how could you not feel like a Thumbelina character sitting in it?

Chiringuito Cocktail Shaker

Filed under: Spirits

Make your cocktails shaken with a twist - a twisted shaker, anyway. The Chiringuito Cocktail Shaker was designed for Alessi by Ron Arad. It is made of 18/10 stainless steel and is intentionally twisted to "mimic the motion of the liquid inside." Whether this actually helps your drink to blend better remains to be seen, but it certainly looks good while its in use. Price: $140.

The Ultimate Shag Rug

Filed under: Decor

I am trying very hard to resist using any phrase from the Austin Powers movie series, but it is taking a lot of self control to not describe this rug as "shagadelic!" because I never thought that I would actually want a shag rug again. The Shag Rug by Ron Arad is the grooviest-looking shag I've seen. It's smart, funny and probably even softer than it appears to be. It's available from The Rug Company, but even priced at £4,850, they won't last long because there are only 10 available.
