Scoop Round and Quad Convertible Sofa Beds from
Saba Italia

post from Furniture Fashion on 03 July 2009 09:22:00 PM. © Furniture Fashion

We have reviewed some really cool sofa sleepers and convertible couches in the past few years and many of them are for the spare room to be hidden away as "guest only" furniture. The Scoop Round and Quad sofa sleeper beds from Saba Italia easily stay uniform and ready for nighttime thanks to a removable hook system. One side of the Scoop has fixed legs and one has lockable wheels so lifting is not necessary, just reposition and get ready for bed. Designer Guido Rosati made sure comfort was included with a wooden frame surrounded by several densities of polyurethane foam, velfodera, and polyester fibers. The entire collection of contemporary sofas from Saba Italia can be seen here.

Four lower drawers with simple, flat-facing fronts are complimented by the flip-top storage space that includes a medium-sized tempered glass mirror. [...]

Facebook Faves on Fridays

post from Hatch: The Design Public ® Blog on 03 July 2009 04:22:00 PM. © Hatch: The Design Public ® Blog

Alright, I’ve gone a little bit off the flickr grid - my friend Lucia just posted some absolutely gorgeous photos of Best Farm on her facebook page and I wanted to share them. I believe her husband Brian took these and I felt compared to share:

Is there anything more beautiful than these simple American vernacular buildings?

I tried to research Best Farm online and found this shot. The property became part of the National Park Service in 1993, and I think this building is the same one shown above:

Does anyone know anymore about the preservation and restoration of this site? I believe it was a Civil War Battlefield in Maryland.

20/30 by Raphaël Charles

Lumps of foamy coal make up the 20/30 rug by Belgian designer Raphaël Charles, and extra nuggets are scattered along the periphery. The name of the carpet is in reference to a standard calibre of coal, raising questions about energy and the future. In the here and now, however, the rug is a cosy spot that beckons bare feet. Arihiro Miyake has used recycled PET bottles to create Fort, a sound-absorbing room divider made up of individual "bricks" held together by magnets. The lightweight modules allow the partition to assume a variety of shapes and sizes. Vases do double duty as message centres, as the Pisarro range offers either a chalkboard or whiteboard surface for note-taking. Little Saigon is a mirror grouping by Studio Taschide that is pretty enough on its own, without any faces peering into it.
