Spotted on Ebay: Monaco Corner Sofa

2011-02-26T12:50:00.000+00:00

Just spotted this super deal over on eBay. £800 for the corner sofa, foot stool and storage box.

In an immaculate condition (was reupholstered yesterday) corner sofa with matching footstool and storage pouffe for sale. It's on DfS for over £2000 all in (it's the Monaco), and is really really comfy but alas, doesn't fit in the odd shape rooms of our new house. Selling for £800 or offers.

Yes, okay, it's my corner sofa! Blogger's prerogative right? :)

Vintage Ercol Child's Chair

2010-10-13T09:00:00.000+01:00

£54 from Winter's Moon

The slightly larger version of the classic Ercol kids 'blue spot' chair. The wood is a lovely mellow colour, evenly prescuffed and worn. It is structurally sound and has that lovely air of having survived lots of children already and ready to take on a few more. You can snap this up at Winter's Moon for £54

Push In

Push In...

Big thanks to Matt over at Slugs & Snails photography for giving us the heads up about Push In. The idea is to understand whether a bar stool can still work on sand ... actually it's a lot deeper than that, I suggest you pop over to Industrial Design Served to understand it. I warn you now though, you can loose hours browsing that site!

ps. I highly recommend Slugs & Snails and Matt's other photography... check MattWreford.net out too!

The Zeed Chair

Spun from Magis

2010-09-28T09:00:00.002+01:00

Spun from Magis

Thomas Heatherwick has produced a startling twist on conventional furniture design with the Spun Chair. Made from a single profile rotated through 360 degrees the aptly named 'Spun' transforms the domestic seat into a beautifully rendered spinning top. When upright Spun is a sculptural vessel and it is only when it is lent on its side that the full possibilities of its form come to light. Spun allows its user to swivel in a circular rocking motion, including being able to rotate in a complete circle. It was launched in 2010.

You can snap this up for £323 from Nest.

Chair Alphabet

There have been many attempts to make an ABC furniture. This one seems to be the longest and the most successful. A project started in 1999 as sketches and paper prototypes has really got into full swing only in 2009 and finally was presented in 2010 on a June 100x Summer Design. Original red color was changed to black and yet the projected is not completed and is still on the run. It's a design project by Roeland Otten.

Darwin Chair by Stefan Sagmeister

2010-09-20T20:24:00.000+01:00

Darwin Chair by Stefan Sagmeister

I am loving the Darwin Chair by Stefan Sagmeister. It utilizes a free swinging structure that includes about 200 sheets of attached prints. As the top sheet gets dirty or tired, the user can simply rip it off thereby transforming the chair’s appearance (and the remaining perforation eventually forms a comfortable head rest). All sheets are printed with intricate patterns abstracting the creation of the universe, making their way through the creation of the world, the beginning of plant, animal and human life, all the way to the digital revolution.
