Restaurant Furniture Layout and Why You Dont Need
an Interior Decorator

post from Restaurant Furniture Blog on 28 January 2009 10:14:58 PM. © Restaurant Furniture Blog

Some restaurant owners, when they are looking into the options that are available to them for their restaurant furniture layout, seem to think that there is no possible way in which they are going to be able to figure things out without hiring an interior designer. In other words, there are some restaurant professionals who [...]

Moon Table by Seefelder and Matthias Demacker

post from Furniture Fashion on 28 January 2009 09:55:00 PM. © Furniture Fashion

Here is another modern furniture release from Munich based designer Matthias Demacker that will debut at the IMM Cologne Furniture Fair this year. The Moon Table is a collaboration with Seefelder and is produced in chromed or lacquered steel tube, with table tops made from scratch resistant powder coated MDF in white and black, matt or high gloss finishes. The set of tables can be arranged and used separately or overlapped, "an abstract symbol for the individual phases of the moon- a clear allusion on the symbolism of the Yin & Yang". If you like the Moon Table you will like the rest of the Seefelder modern furniture collection with a distinctly European flair.

Sofas, not futons

i finally got down to write about the new entrance scheming I did for a friend, and the final post boils down to sofas. There has been a great deal of murmur on sleeper sofas as a unit matching up to the living room furniture. I heard futon and the target changed from the scheme details to fabric sofa. I am not so much a fan of futon beds really. You can find something much decent by burning your pockets by not more than double the price, and add to it triple the comfort!!

But if youre looking for something slim and nice for a narrow room, corner or entrance, i suggest a sleeper sofa or daybed. Your sleeping /sitting needs are the bottom-lines here. Click more, and be good.keep posting those comments, see you tomorrow! The Brutus.muaaaahlove it completely. This fabric sofa is an extension of luxury. The wide arms, and the lavish spread.you can order as an armchair/sofa too

For more regular not-so-lazy stuff, take a look at the Metro modern in its highly sophisticated avatar. It sure looks living room material, with a class of its own. For a more lavish feel, dont forget the ottoman(its optional). Ok, for a bit of drama, I highly suggest the Crawford. The Pecan beauty is an eye-catcher, and looks snug to me. It has a priceless combo of the old and contemporary.with or without the ottoman.

A Proper Primer on Modernism

post from Dwell Daily Blog on 28 January 2009 05:57:20 PM. © Dwell Daily Blog

The historicization of modern architecture is quick to lionize Mies, Gropius, Wright, and others, but too often treats them as though they existed in a vacuum, a far-sighted brotherhood whose sole purpose was to change the way we make buildings. National Book Award winner and Yale University professor Peter Gay aimed to set that right in his 2007 work Modernism: The Lure of Heresy.

Exterior, Interior, and Sliding Doors by Tre-Piu

post from Furniture Fashion on 28 January 2009 04:00:00 PM. © Furniture Fashion

Searching for doors can be a bit of a challenge when you shop around. There are several varieties of doors including exterior, interior, and sliding to name just a few. Depending on its function, the door is usually constructed of varying degrees of strength. Obviously, an exterior door needs to be very strong to prevent unlawful entry into a home. A challenge I have is finding decent pictures on the web for doors. I was able to find some today from a company called Tre-Piu. Their Polis line is what is displayed for the interior and exterior doors. There is a variety of choices in the product line as well as five colors: dark walnut, light walnut, cream, white, and cherry. The sliding door models are available in inside wall and outside wall configurations and several color options as well. More information: here.

Mourning the Lost Glossies

I am still in deep mourning over the demise of Cottage Living. It featured homes that were modern yet warm, celebrated the vernacular without being too “kountry,” had stylish yet inexpensive interiors, and had sustainable small space design without shoving “green” down my throat in that annoying way that GE-owned NBC does. Twice I flipped through and saw extremely talented people I happened to know, once my mom called them to figure out which shingles were used on the dream house she saw on its pages and they hooked her up with the contractor, once after swiping a cabin feature they did I got to know Erik Johnson who tipped me off to some great fodder for posts. If you haven’t saved your issues like I have, you can still find a compilation of Cottage Living makeovers floating around in stores.I tried to find it online for you, but so far I’m coming up empty - it has a blue cover and I saw it in the magazine section of Borders last week.

Likewise, Facebook and the blogs are buzzing with news of Domino folding today. I started hearing rumors back in December and immediately stopped investing time in “My Deco File,” but kept my fingers crossed. Domino came on the shelter mag scene like a breath of fresh air. Although the last few issues were sub-par, I loved the magazine and thought that their website stood head and shoulders above the rest. I am mourning the plethora of inspiring slideshows, seeing how Scrappy Girl’s apartment turns out, checking out where Rita’s been, or what Nick’s obsessed currently obsessing over. I’ll miss Cynthia’s adventures and Muse Marion’s hilarous columns. I’ll never forget Ruthie Sommers on that first cover with the clever sofa I am totally going to copy and her Loni Anderson wastebasket.

As Blueprint, House and Garden, O at Home, InStyle Home and Vogue Living have all ended their runs in the past year or so, is the shelter magazine category still considered to be overcrowded? I am trying to see the silver lining and hope that something killer will rise up and fill the void.

Are there any U.S. publications left that you enjoy? Have you found any great ones to share with us? I still have subscriptions to Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home, Southern Accents, House Beautiful, Coastal Living and from the U.K., Wallpaper*. I wish I had subscriptions to Austrialian and English versions of Vogue Living and Elle Decor, as well as Living etc., but they are really expensive. Lately I’m enjoying my beloved Entertainment Weekly (Dan Snierson and Dalton Ross rule) and my new favorite, Garden and Gun.
