This beautiful Sofa from Urban Collection for now is just a very interesting concept designed by Marta Antoszkiewicz. This is not the first project by Marta presented on this blog, we presented also the Ultra-Functional Bulb Table and Table with Chairs that Saves Space in the Dining Room.This sofa it’s two heat-formed planks and minimal fasteners are the basis of this clean, modern design. Its backrest is cantilevered and gets locked in place when you lay your weight on it. Moreover, its durable leather cushions slip in through large cutouts in the top surface, resting on the second curve. I’m pretty sure that a piece of modern furniture like this can make a room look really good, don’t you ?

Volant Sofa is designed by Patricia Urquiola, and the Volant range includes the sofa, armchair, chair, and a stool, if you want the whole collection. The structure is basic and self-sufficient. The frame of the base appears orthogonal but in actual fact is a trapezium for adapting to the line of the back and seat. This leads to a shape dichotomy between regularity and irregularity, also in the perception of the seat elements which, despite the fact they seem flat, have curved sections to provide extreme comfort. Price is available on request here.

I’m looking at this interesting sofa, and I’m wondering “Do we really need something like this ?“.Maybe the lights attached to this sofa are useful when we read something but I prefer another kind of light.The Morpheo Sofa bed is available in the colors black, red and green.If you want it you’ll have to spend $5,400 at ModernFurnitureClassics.

If you love your Aston Martin so much that you want to have a piece of it in your house, Aston Martin Heritage Designs exclusively presents the Aston Martin DB6 couch. The limited edition couch will surely add a sense of cool to your living room and cause you to be admired by your friends and visitors. Although this isn’t the original Aston DB6 rear end, the makers have created an exact replica for all the Aston fans. The two-seater couch comes with an engraved number plate.

For those of you who loved Lego when you were young here is something that might remind you of that period. Designed and created by Thierry Nahon & Philippe Landecker, LunaBlocks are based on an original concept, the transformation and enlargement of bricks used in building games for children. Easily stacked together, functional and totally versatile, LunaBlocks are designed for the world of decoration and for the home. Like traditional Legos, these blocks come in a variety of colors and configurations all you need to finish a project is some glass, a pillow or cushion, some creativity and loads and loads of disposable income. Unfortunately, each one of these bricks will set you back $20-$55, which could make your dream of turning your pad into a mini Legoland quite costly. You can buy the bricks online from Homology. The good part is that you can create your own piece of furniture, and change it’s shape from time to time.

Sometimes people are so creative that you’ll say “What a crazy idea !“. One of these ideas came from the folks at Coffincouches who have managed to grab the 18 gauge steel coffins from the local funeral homes primarily in Southern California and transformed them in to designer Coffin Couches. At a first look these couches look like a luxurious piece of leather furniture, but I don’t know how many people would like a coffin couch in their home. I’m pretty sure that most of your visitors will think that something is really wrong with you, when you keep a coffin in your house. Finally I think that this piece of furniture would look very good in a movie like “The Addams Family”.

Although they have been around for years, consumer interest in corner sofas have urged furniture companies to produce modern sofas that will compliment any lifestyle or room decor. Commonly known as sectionals, modern corner sofas are available in soft, cushioned leather, or durable fabrics in a rainbow of decorative colors.

Modern corner groups are designed with three, four, or five seats, matching pillows and a footstool. They can be purchased with curved English style arms, a straight arm, the classic rolled arm, and some styles are armless.

These corner pieces are offered in many different styles including models with detachable components, units with fused corners, and others that can be converted into sofa beds.

Created for maximum comfort as well as individual style, these transforms useless space into an area for entertaining guest, or a place to relax and unwind.

When researching corner sofas to purchase for your home, you should carefully measure the area where the corner group will be located. This will assure that you are buying the right size. You should also consider product durability and then buy the best one that you can afford. Corner pieces made from leather offer long lasting quality, and they are fairly easy to clean.

Look for sofa frames that have been constructed from high quality hardwoods such as maple, oak, or poplar, and check for stitches that may be loose or weak. Purchasing a slipcover is added protection for your investment. This will guard against forthcoming spills, as well as rips, scratches, or tears in leather or fabric upholstery.

Modern corner sofas are an ideal way to add extra seating when you are expecting a visit from family or friends. These types of sofas are tasteful and a practical solutions for that empty space in your living room or den.

Many people are under the impression that dining chairs need to be used at a dining room table. This is just not right. Some of the modern chairs that can be found today can be used in just about any room. A good room for these chairs is the sitting room.

No longer are chair manufacturers making dining chairs that are straight backed with slats that were so common decades ago. Some of these modern dining chairs are actually lovely enough to be pieces of art. Why would someone hide a piece of art such as modern dining chairs under a table where they cannot be seen?

Instead, use a modern chair in the sitting room as either a conversation piece or extra seating when there is company. These chairs can be purchased one at a time or can be purchased in pairs. They make a great statement when put on either side of a piece of modern art or an art deco table. It is easy to purchase this type of chair to match any art deco pieces that you have.

Not only can they be used in the sitting room, but they can add a great compliment to a bedroom or office as well. A nice white chair is a great choice for a light and airy bedroom. A dark leather chair can make an office seem more welcoming. It can also offer a guest a place to sit while chatting in the office.

Do not think that modern chairs only need to be used in a dining room. There are so many other ways that they can be utilized. Some are made to look like modern pieces of art that should not be shoved under a dining table. The look of a sitting room, bedroom or office can be made to look better when one is added for extra seating.
