The Metropolis Armchair

Filed under: Decor

The Metropolis Armchair, by Roderick Vos, uses geometrics to create clean lines and modern style. The "perfect balance was sought" between the seat and the back of the chair, and the frame is made of epoxy coated metal tubing.

I must say, for such an airy design using so much metal, it actually looks pretty comfortable. But I think to pull it off this chair requires skillful placement in the right environment -- I'm not sure why but I keep thinking "dentist's office waiting room."

Available at Apartment Zero starting at $2315.

If you've got to have one of the ultra-modern Seiko "Spectrum" e-ink watches get ready to make your move. The watches won't be sold on websites or in stores. Instead, you've got to fight the throngs on eBay. There are only 500 of the watches and they will be sold from March 19-25 on eBay with proceeds going to benefit the Help A London Child Charity. The official price was listed as around $2,000 last year but once it hits eBay all bets are off. The watch is thin and flexible, bending around the wrist and adjustable through touch buttons.
