This surprisingly modern piece of furniture was originally designed in 1958.it’s surprisingly modern and simple for something that was designed so long ago. The desk is basically composed of a square steel tube and a glass top. It was designed by Franco Albini who also gave the name of the desk.

The Albini desk is manufactured in Italy by Knoll. The desk features a minimalist design. It’s a floating pedestal desk that combines several materials. It’s made of glass, chrome-plated steel and painted wood. These materials are combined in such a harmonious way that the transition is extremely smooth and almost unnoticeable. It’s a very clear and balanced design. It’s also a minimalist piece of furniture. It’s both elegant and modern, with no useless details or decorations.

The Albini desk, as well as most of Franco’s designs, combines the new and intriguing forms of modernism with a more traditional artisanship. The result is a unique design and a very beautiful piece of furniture. The Albini desk is great for work spaces, for offices or for studies and other spaces in general. The storage unit seems to be floating into thin air. It includes functional drawers and it’s made of either ebonized oak or white lacquer. It has an open shelfon the back that’s useful for storing magazines, books or documents. The desk’s dimensions are 48″ w | 27.5″ h | 26″ d. You can buy it for $3,662.

Romantic “Mademoiselle” armoire by Koket

Posted: 11 Dec 2011 05:46 AM PST

I love many things and among them butterflies seem to occupy an important place. They mean elegance, fragility and freedom. They are also a great source of inspirations especially for painters, designers of all kinds or science men. You may notice clothes that have prints with butterflies, plates for a nice dinner table which display the image of a lovely butterfly, pillows or bedding that charm you with their beautifully colored butterflies. Jewelry is also a domain where butterflies may appear. Earrings or broaches that take the shape of an elegant butterfly are extremely favored by most of the women.

If you want a kind of jewelry in your bedroom, Koket created a gorgeous handcrafted brass armoire called Mademoiselle. Its beautiful design which displays the image of a polished brass butterfly that overlays the pink-silk doors of this armoire, indeed shows the refined elegance of a real mademoiselle.

Mademoiselle is a real jewelry for any space which is part of Koket's Guilty Pleasures collection and offers a lot of storage place with two adjustable shelves and eight drawers where you can put a lot of your things.This brass armoire becomes easily a centerpiece for any room and an eye-catching item for any sight which notice such a beauty!

Modern Windsor Accent Chair

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 11:50 PM PST

When I hear or read the name Windsor I immediately associate it with the British royal family, with rich people and impeccable style. I think of elegance and nobility, of grace and taste. Well, I seem to be true because all my expectations were met when I saw this amazing Modern Windsor Accent Chair. It is the modern version of the traditional English style in furniture and it seems to combine the two features in an incredible way. It is both modern and traditional, looking great and also breathing history. The chair has minimalist lines that show the fact that it is actually an updated version of the Windsor chair.

The chair has been known in the world of specialists in furniture design for about three hundred years, but this time it brings new accents and a modern look. It no longer has upholstery, but the back rest is made of thin black pieces of wood that look magnificent when stuck to the rounded frame. This chair is made of solid wood and has a black-stained finish. The guys from West Elm have a special offer for the holiday season, so if you want to purchase this chair you can do it now for a considerable discount, so you will pay only $299 instead of $399.

Star Hang Ups

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 09:57 PM PST

Children are little people, so if you want to prepare a special room just for them, you will have to adjust all the things inside according to their size. So all the furniture inside will be smaller and coat hangers will be tiny and funny. And since it is rather unpleasant to have all the coats in one place, why not use more than one hang up spread along the room? Look at these Star Hang Ups! They are great and perfect for the kids room. They have an interesting design, as stars have always fascinated people of all ages and kids are no exception to this.

These stars are hand made and also painted by hand in a variety of colours: white, light blue, tomato and midnight blue. There is a wooden peg in the middle of every star that works as a hang up for the children clothes. You can even use stars of different colours if you have more than one child and this way they will know what is their hang up and keep their coat or towel there. Any way, since the stars get mounted on the wall you can fix them at different heights, depending on the children age and height again. They are very funny and useful. You can have one for $12.95.

Christmas is a special holiday when most families come together and enjoy a family dinner. This is when they usually take out the best tableware. Mothers and grandmothers dust the old drawers or other storage facilities and bring out the best dishes and glasses that are used twice or three times a year. Now, when Christmas is just a few days away, all the people look for these items. And I think if you want to make some changes you can purchase a new set any time. Take a look at this set of 12 Vintage Etched Glass Dessert Plates. They are so elegant and stylish and very refined, that you can’t wait to use them.

The plates are perfect for appetizers or desserts, as they have 7 7/8" in diameter. The design of the plate is great and the season wreath you can see on the side is hand applied. The set of plates looks more vintage than modern, but still great. The glass the plates are made of is transparent and lets you see through it, which is a bit unusual for plates. But it is this feature that allows you to see and enjoy the nice design on the side of the plates. You can order the set online for $144.
