Film style - Black Swan

“I don't want dancers who want to dance. I want dancers who have to dance.”
~ George Balanchine






Pliè_GranPliè_Piaff chair and sofa created by the team of  Ludovica,Roberto Palomba for Driade.  Molded
Polyethylene mono-bloc in three variants of colour: white, light-gray or blue.

The white umbrella silhouette style from Tropitone, aluminum pole and base with Sumbrella fabric. The Silhouette is a 9' foot hexagon single vent model.  

The Tokyo Pop Chair  designed by Tokujin Yoshiok for Driade.  The  mono-bloc lounge chair in polyethylene in white, black anthracite and terracotta colour versions. Indoor and outdoor use.

This simply stunning piece is equal parts sculpture and furniture.  E-Turn embodies a continuous morphing ribbon that twists and turns from seat to structure before overlapping and returning again in the configuration of a seat.  Designed by the uber talented Brodie Neill for Kundanlini.
The Leaf table and chairs by Giancarlo Zima (An amazing visionary!)  This collection is molded out of dark black Corian for Avanzini Group


Jarrod Lim Koi chair.  Each chair is handmade from steel then powder-coated in a light "sand" finish and the seat is made from recycled teak wood.

Roses by Vibieffe is range of chair, armchair, two tables with different shapes and dimensions, in metal laser cut.


Tom Dixon designed this fabulous candelabra that takes it’s aesthetic from the robust components of steam engines of the Victorian era.

Tom Dixon Link is hand polished with a black powder-coated finish. Crafted from a single piece of solid aluminum.


Black Chair/White Cushion by Christopher Pillet has a coated metal frame, upholstered white and a knitted fabric skin.  Upholstered seat with integrated suspension and cold foam.


Just because it is so darn fun!  Dirk Wynants, DollyPop is for use with white wine and champagne bottles.  I fits on most bottles but, unfortunately, some champagne bottles will not fit as Dollypop is limited in size to make sure it fits the most popular bottles.


The Coral Table is a versatile piece which works equally well in an indoor or outdoor environment. Made out of powder-coated steel for Arktura.


Also from Arktura is the Hive Bench.  The bench is shaped from bent steel and finished with powder coat in several distinct colours.




The Petit Jardin bench is a studio piece, produced by the artist in a limited edition of 10.  This piece signed and numbered: '1/10' by the artist Tord Boontje.

Rain Chair and Rain Table constitute an alternative way of working both metal and sheet metal.  They have a tubular steel structure and plates of perforated sheet metal that are laser decorated with delicate images and natural scenes characteristic of Tord Boontje's work.  The shapes are a contemporary reworking of the classic wrought iron garden furniture - embellished and made lighter by the laser flower working of the surfaces.
The Moon chair will be unveiled at the  Twilight -Tokunjin Yoshioka, this event is sheduled for April 12 – April 17, at Moroso in Italy.

The circular seating system by Konstantin Grcic is a skillful combination of emptiness and lightness.  An environmental sculpture which boasts airiness wherever placed.  Its frame, a combination of fiber glass and resin, conveys an idea of visual transparency. This item is also made for Moroso.

The crochet chair by Marcel Wanders was designed for Droog. Unfortunately, only twenty were made in 2006.  I had to include it because it is so pretty!




The carved Moooi Chair by Marcel Wanders is available at Questo Design .

I am so in love with this chair! The Cala Chair by Velichko Velikov is so gorgeous! I want one.
