Pete — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 01:40:00 +0000

With its low, compact form, the Par 4 resembles a Japanese chabudai one moment and assumes the elegant, multiplaned outline of a Mondrian painting the next, exemplifying versatility and imagination. The table is now available in an Iroko wood frame with wenge stain. On one side, the table tops are wenge-stained veneer; flip them over and they reveal bleached oak veneer. Four sliding leaves allow the table to expand in a variety of directions like an unfolding puzzle, extending the available su…read more

An award-winning sculptor and designer known for his proficiency with natural materials such as marble and wood, Giulio Lazzotti has created a pristinely elegant bench based on subtle sculptural nuance and expert craftsmanship. Demonstrating the natural versatility of molded plywood, the bench is a blend of clean planes and sensual curves. When two or more benches are placed end to end, the gently arced legs take on solid, elliptical forms while the exterior lines remain taut and crisp. Recipien…read more

LC10 Square Low Table

Pete — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:17:54 +0000

Charles-douard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, referred to a house as a “machine for living,” an industrial product that should include functional furniture or “equipment de l’habitation.” In this spirit, he designed a system of furniture with Charlotte Perriand and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. The group’s LC10 Square Low Table (1928) was originally presented in the form of a desk at the 1929 Salon d’Automne in Paris. With this piece, the framework is reduced to a minimum, leaving only the treatment of t…read more

Luisa Side Table

Pete — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 22:06:24 +0000

The inspiration for this design emerged during lunch at the home of Enrico Fratesi’s grandmother, Luisa. For Fratesi, the fact his grandmother’s furniture was covered in plastic was no surprise, since this method of keeping furniture clean was a practice he’d seen all his life. But for his partner, Stine Gam-Pedersen, a native of Denmark, the plastic covers were odd, unexpected and exactly the inspiration needed for their next design. The Luisa Side Table (2006) is crafted with a layer of las…read more

Eames Molded Plywood Coffee Table

Using the same technology that led to the invention of their iconic molded plywood lounge chairs, the Eameses designed their Molded Plywood Coffee Table (1946) to have a lean, shaped form that was durable yet lightweight. Its “saucer”-like top and curved legs first caught the eye of Herman Miller design director George Nelson during a one-man furniture exhibition at the MoMA in 1946. Herman Miller has been faithfully manufacturing the table for over 50 years. Com…read more

Pete — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:08:26 +0000

Following his apprenticeship with the legendary Constantin Brancusi, sculptor Isamu Noguchi began to experiment in environmental design, theatrical sets and later, product design. Noguchi created his first furniture prototypes for Herman Miller in 1942 and went on to work with companies such as Steuben and Zenith. The Noguchi Table conceals nothing; revealing everything about the nature of simplicity. Two simple, smoothly shaped pieces interlock to form a tripod that supports a .75″ thick sl…read more

Bingo Pouf with Tray Table

Pete — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:34:35 +0000

The Bingo Pouf (2002) is one of the most successful convertible sleep solutions weve seen in compact form. When closed, it functions as a spacious stool or as a side table with the included bent maple tray (red pouf/natural tray; charcoal pouf/wenge tray). By easily unfolding the Bingo, a full-length sleep surface is created for impromptu guests. High-density foam provides a firm, non-collapsing surface for both seating and sleeping. The upholstery is a weave of wool and synthetic fibers for co…read more
