Chair bookcase by Gail Peter Borden

I love this Chair bookcase by Gail Peter Borden  I just found today.

Divided into three systems, there is [1] a cockpit chair that has an adjustable angle of repose and uses a compressive slotted connection, [2] a structural frame and cover/cloak that uses a fingered connection, and [3] an infill shelving system that deploys a pegged connection. The 237 books complete the remainder of the composition.

This was found on yankodesign store

Cassina Dodo Armchair

One of the most iconic chairs copied by millions and millions of companies but this is the real Dodo by Cassina

Designed by no other than Toshiyuki Kita
http://www.toshiyukikita.com/works/18.html
In 1998 for Cassina.

The Dodo is so iconic that many of the design museums hold it on show.

The crossover of the space age and the modern contemporary style are what make this one of the most iconic chairs.

Will suit not just living rooms but found in many a office and bedroom.

Lost chair from Daisuke Motogi

An exhibit at Cheongju international craft here http://eng.okcj.org/home/main.do

The Lost chair is a great idea. It shape and feel reminds of the B&B Italia tufty range which I've blogged on here twice ( I do love it that much)

Anyway the designer Daisuke Motogi born in 1981 whom started Daisuke Motogi Architecture in 2010 and has some stunning ideas already on the site.

I love the way you can add books flowers, whatever you want in to the chair.

For more great inspiration check out other works from Daisuke here  

Boffi Po bath-tub in Corian

I know bath tubs aren't really furniture but hey it's boffi. I love boffi and its naming of products.

The "Boffi Po" (not poo) bath tub is so simple but just amazing.

Of course this isn't an off the shelf or even custom made tub but a full reworking of your pipes!

The picture of these modern and contemporary bath tub says it all really..

Living Divani Extra Wall Bed

This is one modern and contemporary bed, the Extra Wall Living Divani bed.

Italian designer furniture brand Living Divani are famed for the sleak modern lines and the Extra wall bed is a classic.

The dress photograph from above shows off just how well this modern bed works in a contemporary setting.

The second image shows off the elegant design. As with all Living Divani furniture this custom made bed can be made to fit your needs.

I'm soon to blog me top 5 beds of this year and this has to be one of them and might even take top spot. The massive PRO or even the CON with it is it would work in almost any bedroom. I think moutains views, lake veiws of city views from this bed.

Babini Executive office Must range table

I think Babini are stunning example of modern and contemporary Italian furniture.

This pictured example is from the "must" range which is within the Executive office range.

I Really love the form of the table seating and desk with its powerful lines and feelling of stength.

From The Babini site:

A easy and round design, the use of glass together with aluminium and wengé, the particular worktops connection. It tells of a rigorous design focused on professionals and managers’ requirements, who look at the office as the interpretation of their own working and living style.

I'm sure to blog some more from Babini but in for now why not check out the Must range and entire collection here
