Thai Bed Queen by Italy Design

The Thai bed is an architectural beauty of ultimate function. With ingenious originality, the serene minimalism of its design conceals its many useful features.

The headboard is composed of two large panels that rise vertically by means of individual electric buttons, revealing practical shelf space inside. Between the two headboard panels, a recessed lamp in frosted glass illuminates the bed with a soft glow. The integrated glass topped bedside tables with drawers are cantilevered from the frame thereby omitting a clutter of legs. The entire composition appears to be floating above the floor. Wooden slats inside the platform eliminate the need for a box spring.

This sophisticated integrated system with a bed, two night tables, shelving and light outfits an entire bedroom. Available in Italian walnut or Wenge stained oak to fit Queen, Eastern King or California king mattresses.

Him Grey Chair-Casamania designed by Fabio Novembre

Chairs crafted from rotationally moulded polyethylene. Their shapes were created using a 3 dimensional scan of 2 plaster sculptures. The plain coloured matt version is suitable for outside use. From the book of Genesis : God created man in his own image, "I will bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin." The God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him." Then the God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply!" The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed" Him & Her are born directly from the ideas behind the Panton chair. An evolution of the hermaphroditic original, declined into the harmony of the two sexes. They assume sculpted forms like naked models of seduction...but they feel no shame." Fabio Novembre.

The Cavour Desk by Carlo Mollino 1949

The Cavour Desk by Carlo Mollino 1949

Mid Century Modern is still one of my favorite furniture design eras for many reasons and the Cavour Desk by Carlo Mollino is a fine example of what the movement was all about. This curvaceous design sure looks ahead of its time considering its 1949 release. Mollino's philosophy "everything is permissible as long as it is fantastic" is reflected in his body of work which included architecture and furniture design.

Sonic Bed by Designer / Composer Kaffe Matthews

Sonic Bed by Designer / Composer Kaffe Matthews

Yes these people are alive they are just relaxing to the cool sound system included in the "Sonic Bed" by designer and composer Kaffe Matthews. The high perch may even help you hide away for a quick power nap while listening to your favorite music thanks to speakers and six large subwoofers within the bed frame that literally surround you with music. Kaffe Matthews who is quite versed in the production side of the musical industry has been making and performing new electro-acoustic music since 1990. She is acknowledged as a leading figure and pioneer in the field of electronic improvisation and live composition making on average 50 performances a year worldwide.
Matthews has become well known for making site-specific sound works live, playing in the dark in the middle of the space, the audience surrounding her, the sounds moving around them. She uses self-designed software matrices through which she pulls, pushes and reprocesses sounds live, using microphones and feedback within the space; the site then becoming her instrument. It is this practice that she has shifted to sonic furniture building, with Sonic Bed London and the Worldwide Bed project being a central pin in this ongoing project.
