Float bed from Max Longin

A very funky and contemporary bed called the float.

Design Max Longin only has this bed and a chair currently on his site and well worth checking out and keeping an eye out for future design.


The bed is suspended stainless by four steel cords which is what gives it the effect of floating.

Edra Historia Naturalis Aster Papposus Sofa

Is it a sofa or a jellyfish?

Edra is an amazing brand that make in my opinion really wacky furniture.

The Historia Naturalis (natural history) Aster Papposus Sofa is part of the natural history range and with is jellyfish style would work so will in a amazing room with sea views. The silky blue fabric will become a massive collectors item in the future.

You can't not want one of these but you need A the budget and B the room to fit it in... I would love to see this in someones house.

Free form lighting - Macassar collection Andrew Muggleton

The Macassar collection with its tables and chairs has a final touch with this contemporary lighting.

Step 27 cuboard from SMA

The Step 27 cuboard offers classic lines designed from the Italian brand SMA.

The picture shows just how you can make use of these classic lines with a floating unit highlighted with a different colour on a wall surounding the unit with a lamp to of a focus of light.

I really like the way something so simple can offer a very modern and contemporary look by mixing up greys with lights and a few accessories.

Both office and home this cuboard ticks both boxes.

L-Serie Side Unit / Cupboard / Cabitnet from Pastoe

I Just came accross this Side Unit / Cupboard / Cabitnet called the L-Serie from a dutch brand called Pastoe.

Sadly the site has no information about the product (that I can find) but some amazing picture if this side unit.

A bit about Pastoe "Simplicity, timelessness, quality and craftsmanship have all been at the centre of Pastoe's philosophy for more than ninety years now. Since we were founded in 1913, we have been making progressive contemporary furniture that pays due attention to tradition and craftsmanship. And that applies as much to our cabinet systems and seating as to our tables."

morfeo sofa bed from Domodinamica

Such a funky looking sofa. The morfeo looks like some sort of alien or spaceship from a distant plant but no its a sofa bed.

With the molded lights it removes the need for bed side table or lamps.

The wave is yet another stunning example.. I love the simple modern and contemporary styling of this sofa..

100% pure with a wave of an arm at one end.. Great..

Five Amazing Sofas

Here are a pick of 5 amazing sofas that offer ideas, concepts, style and so much more.

The mix of fashion and design with a statement of what you and your home or office is about often comes from your choice of sofa.

Many of the below can be purchased but some are prototypes from new designers with some great ideas.


First lets start with a prototype from designer Daniel Becker from Germany.

The Hunting Lines 2 seat sofa has strong lines with a what looks like a glowing yellow line contrasting again the soft black.

One of the main features to this sofa is the fact that putting multi sofas together expands the seating area and create great lines within a home or office.

From the Daniel Becker prototype to no other than one of the most famous sofa brands in the world, yes B&B Italia.

I could with ease list just 5 B&B italia sofas on this blog post but this time only one gets on this list.

Designed by Patricia Urquiola whom has designed for B&B Italia, Bosa, De Vecchi, Fasem, Kartell, Liv’it, MDF Italia, Molteni & C., Moroso and Tronconi plus many more.

The Tutfy Time has been selected due to the mix of square and straight lines with super soft corners and edges is a perfect mix of uniformity and comfort.

Being modular it fits in any space from a large 1 seat sofa to as large a composition as you'd like.

Looking for some natural elements in your living room ? Well the Neo livingstones will meet your needs..

These giant stones and pebbles make up configurations of sofas for both indoor and outdoor use.

These elements really look like stone and pebbles and of course will create and eye catching focal point to any living space.


Maybe its the child in me that just wants to run and jump onto the Neo Livingstones from Smarin.
I think you could have so much fun with these sofa's in a modern space with strong lines with the livingstones offering the natural element into a room.

From stones to pixels..

Its hard to pick just one of the sofas designs from Moroso as it has so many epic designs.

Moroso are famed for so many designs that include the likes of the Victoria and Albert and
Alessandra Armchair in cow style black and white patch fabric.

The pictured pixel sofa is again this typical Moroso idea of a mix of color design and texture. Bland is not a word you can use when talking about Moroso.

With some of the world top designers such as Ron Arad, Carlo Colombo, Enrico Franzolini, Marc Newson, Toshiyuki Kita and Patricia Urquiola you are of course exposed to so many ideas and designs.

Designers Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro have created the Velvet sofa for Sand and Birch design Italy.

The name of course gives away the use of velvet to upholster this sofa. It looks like and spring and strong, even harsh and uncomfortable to sit on but taking a closer look you can see the super soft velvet which omits comfort. The contradiction between its spring like form and soft texture is what makes this sofa stand out.

This is typical of Italian furniture challenging shape and form along with texture and finish.

Tide Cupboard by horm

Design by Karim Rashid for Horm. Built with a lacquered structure and front.

The wave design is made of thin slats creates an great effect.

So simple.. Its a great design for a modern and contemporary house/flat.

The only problem would be which room would it suit the most? I'd be tempted to put it in a room I spend the most time ...

Available with 2 drawers and one flap front or two deep drawers. Feet H 2 cm and base in varnished metal H 16 e 32 cm.

BAOBAB Tree Coat hanger From MDF Italia

The Baobab Coat hanger designed for MDF Italia is an undulated trunk and a crown of irregular branches.

The idea comes from nature. The coat is made to look like a tree with a trunk as its main body and a few branches on the top to allow you to hand a coat and alike.

This coat hanger would look great in the home as a feature to a entrance hall but would look like the image great as a feature along a hall way in a office with multi "trees" outside each office bringing a bit of nature in a working place whilst keeping a desinger contemporary feel.
