Double View Bench with pivoting backrest from Outdoorz Gallery

2013-05-18T14:16:35Z

The Double View Bench from Outdoorz Gallery is a small but sweet two-seater that is big on style and sustainability. French design firm Chloe De La Chaise put a literal twist on the traditional Victorian love seat in her contemporary bench concept, which features a double backrest that pivots back and forth, allowing a pair to sit side by side or face to face. The bowed base allows you to rock gently. Crafted by a French cabinetmaker with work recognized by the Ateliers d'Art de France, the Double View Bench features quality construction and is made using sustainably harvested materials - of the four pieces of wood used, three come from certified forests in France, and the fourth is moabi, a naturally oiled African wood also sustainably harvested. Wood choices include chestnut, oak, robinia-acacia and moabi. With just 50 Double View Benches in existence, this limited edition piece is in high demand and can be yours for a price of 2979€.

2013-05-07T02:58:47Z

How's this for "body shop chic?" This cool tire table from Tavomatico features two circular discs of plexiglass - one on the top and one on the bottom, turning a tire into a tabletop with storage space inside. Four small wheels mounted to the bottom let you roll this unusual table to your desired location - in the living room or den, home office, studio, or to the man cave - this piece is certainly dressed the part! The thick, chunky tire tread brings a bit of built-in texture to the design, but it's all been finished to make it smooth, odorless and resistant to wear and tear. But with its original intended use for the road, there's not much this little table can't take. The traditional black finish screams industrial chic, or opt for a vibrant color to transform this former auto element into a fabulous furniture piece. An optional LED light takes this modern table to the next level. The tire table is available in a range of sizes and color options. Check it out by visiting Tavomatico.

The Madero dining table from Sunpan isn't your typical wood table. This design has unusual roots, most visible in its base - an unusual design inspired by crisscrossed tree trunks, lending this dining table a warm, weathered look and feel. This organic aesthetic is complemented by a lightly distressed driftwood finish in oak / oak veneer. The tabletop is strong and simple - a thick rectangular slab featuring straight edges and a hefty weight that gives its small scale a big visual impact. Measuring 63L x 39.5W x 30H (inches), the Madero table makes a delicious addition to cozy dining rooms in compact condos and small houses where space is limited, but style is plentiful.
