Furniture

Here's another tulip shaped chair for you, this one designed by Pierre Paulin in 1965 and reedited by Netherlands based Artifort Company.

Handmade, with an upholstered covering and chrome base, the Little Tulip chair is more than just practical. Its refined, graphic design has an inviting and comfortable quality, suited for any location be it a working desk or at the dining table. After all, your favourite chair in the house should be "friendly, fun and colorful" as Pierre Paulin thought.

Don't think about Egyptian curses which need to be un-riddled by specialists, history lovers or book readers. Here is a discovery I "made" regarding trendy and eco friendly furniture; the pyramidal shelf, a thing which you can't ignore if you happen to be in the same room with it.

I guess furniture designers bet on unusual furnishing just because we can't ignore such things, thanks to their shape or materials used.  Another must have piece of furniture which knows no law of gravity if you happen to close your eyes and only peek at it. And the funny thing is that the pyramid shelf is very light, as it is made out of aluminum.

I'm all thumbs up for unconventional and modern furniture, especially if they are eco friendly, and that just because I'm against forest grubbing.  But if you think otherwise, take into consideration the fact that it doesn't have to be necessarily woody to create an environmental effect.

Modern furniture designers test their ingenuity by creating twisted furniture pieces, literally. Take for example this MYDNA twisted bookcase from Joel Escalona's furniture studio. It's unique, fluid in shape and intriguing as a furniture piece.
