Eco friendly furnishing wins every time

Eco friendly furnishing is very looked up by people who don't want to contribute at forest reclamations due to their civic values. For that, furniture designers come up with models of furniture made out of nonconformist materials such as fiber glass or polyurethane.

Although they bring an attribute to nature's elements, the Amaki sofa and Lyla lighting from Odue creations don't look very natural to me. Odue designers have a way with nowadays technology, as they prove handling very well the process of bending materials and color combination. The Amaki sofa is simple and very minimalist in appeal.

L'Abbate Mc 105 armchair

With a minimalist, elegant design the L'abbate Mc 105 armchair created by Gio Ponti, may be perfect for a modern office but I think it has the same odds of being your favorite lounge seat in the house. Solid, spacious and stylish, it made a splash at this year's Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan.

Matchstick Wall Clock

Designer Takashi Sakihara created this sleek, modern wood clock that is included in the U+ Collection for Umbra Store. Thin vertical recesses drawn in a curved veneer give the matchstick cluster appearance and, instead of usual numbers to indicate the hours, the clock uses pairs of metal indicators.

The Matchstick wall clock's minimalist design highlights the harmony of symmetric architectural lines and the beauty of natural white birch. It will definitely smarten your living room so don't be too upset if your guests will be checking time too often.

Yara Kitchen

The Yara kitchen from Cesar is defined by straight lines and continuous wooden finishes. Yara kitchen has a beautiful minimalist design (means that the Yara kitchen excludes the non-essential details, but retains the user-friendly interior). The Yara kitchen island or peninsula has neat included handles, and is topped with a combination of a Schock titan-white super-slim worktop, and a stainless steel cooking top that together highlights the minimalist ethic with a crisp, fresh look.
