So if you need some surface space on a small budget, I’d recommend taking a look at these tables. I think they’ve got a lot of punch for the price (quite fond of the stylized shaping of the legs with the laminated top).

“Context Furniture’s William & Mary tables add a different kind of contrast, with their ultrasmooth laminate surfaces and aluminum legs. The silhouettes (again, especially in the legs, but also in the shaping of the tabletop edges) still draw on historical designs, but the overall result is distinctly modern.”

Some color options: black knight, invasion red, monarch white, royal blue

Materials: Anodized aluminum legs with 3/4 inch laminated, multi-ply top.

In this day and age of spending $200-$400 (or more) on a dining chair, I truly hope that people actually like what they buy. It’s certainly hard for me to imagine dropping thousands of dollars to seat 6 people, but when I think about if and when I do, the chair/ chairs would certainly have to meet some requirements. Which brings me to the point of this particular chair. It’s stylish, simple, and durable. And, this might sound silly, but I really like the fact that the barrel backrest/armrest can be hung on a tabletop so you can easily sweep underneath (I hate sweeping around chairs, or moving them aside).

So. There you go.

“A single piece of solid beech wood acts as both the back leg and backrest support to provide maximum strength. Available in a versatile stained ebony, as well as a striking red. The lacquer is repeatedly applied for a thick, consistent finish.”

I was wondering when someone would do this well. It’s a lounge chair that morphs seamlessly into a chaise lounge.

“the flipt was presented by the designer jeff miller for the first time during the 2003 international furniture fair and developed by baleri italia in 2005. this chair has a steel structure, foamed polyurethane seat and a chromed steel base. flipt is a lounge chair that, when called into action (or lack thereof) becomes a chaise lounge. with a simple and intuitive movement the double seat flips forward, opening up and thus doubling the length of the chair. when flipt is open in its chaise lounge configuration, the curve of the seat does not show any visible break, but instead repeats itself with fluidity and becomes an elegant and comfortable wave. this original and innovative solution allows the chair to save space when it is closed in its lounge state, and to not look like a folding chair when it is open. ”

I know this is nothing new but I thought I’d add it to the pile of great chairs that are reasonably priced. I’ve always seen this in a dining set but I’m toying with the idea of getting it for an office chair. Mind you, this is probably not the most ergonomic chair for sitting at for hours but if you’ve got a desk where you sit to pay bills or check email, it might just work.

This is a nice storage piece for the office or living room. The construction is a nice thick solid steel which is painted.

“When Jakob Wagner designed the JW-01 Chair he wasn’t only thinking how to create a sublime sense of balance with disparate elements. He was addressing how to design a chair at once beautiful and nearly indestructible, vividly comfortable yet functional for home as well as public spaces. Wagner’s talent for fusing engineering with aesthetic grace, solving the needs of the human body to find shelter in a seat, is exemplified by the JW-01. The seat back undulates gently to embrace the torso. The ample seat, with its waterfall edge, curves away from the thigh for optimal comfort. The sleigh-style stainless steel legs, 12mm solid yet thin, establish balance that is essential for secure sitting. The chairs can be stacked without damage.”

The attention to detail here on the legs sets this table apart from the mass of wobbly tables out there…
“Genuine innovation is rare. And perhaps no one has achieved it as often as Charles and Ray Eames. Their inventive design for this dining table makes functionality beautiful with an uncluttered profile well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. To give the table maximum strength and stability, Charles and Ray created a design that securely affixes the base to the 1-inch-thick tabletop; adjustable glides keep things on a even keel.”

As you may have noticed, I’ve been posting some interesting shapes lately. I used to be very rectilinear, but now I think I’m rebeling in the form of hexagonals and other equilaterals. I have not yet hit rock-bottom (amorphous or abstracts), but I’m teetering. Do they have programs for people like me?

I know this is not exactly “outdoor” weather right now, but spring is just around the corner. And this is on sale and too cheap not to show it to you. Okay, this is intended as indoor furniture, but I think visually it is probably much more suited to the outdoors. The only thing is that it will probably need a coat of rust proof paint, but since it’s “assembly required” I bet it’d be pretty easy to do before assembly. It will require a little DIY but if you’re looking for a cheap outdoor dining solution then I recommend it.

One Table and 4 chairs

Have we posted this before? I don’t think so, but it sure seems like we would have. There’s not much to say, other than this table is stupendous. It’s made of powder coated 3mm mild steel and is available in white, dark blue, and grey. I think I love this one more than my shoes too.

Designed by Richard Shed.

40 x 40 x H40cm.

This piece would be perfect as a floating divider or along a wall in multiples. But, hey, if you just want one against a wall to show off your stuff, then that would be good too. There’s also a shorter version with four openings/cubicles.

Nowadays, if perusing the market for a decent sofa, there isn’t much to choose from in the modernist’s middle-of-the-road budget. That’s why it’s really nice to run across a quality product for less than a grand. This particular sofa has clean, simple lines and a nice microfiber fabric to keep any spills from causing a catastrophe.

This little table is pretty neat. It’s a ready-to-assemble type of thing. It arrives flat and you bend it into its shape. There’s a coffee and console table too. And! If you like robin’s egg blue, you’ve got that option for the base as well.

I thought this a clever idea for magazines…no doubt that some enterprising soul will be able to make this for a little less than what this particular one is selling for, but nevertheless, it’s worth pointing out.
And, I guess if you’ve got the money, you might as well spend it on this, right?
