Larger Than Life Furniture
Posted on August 23, 2010 · Leave a CommentCan you picture the furniture in your kitchen towering over you? In case you can’t Robert Therrien designed overgrown household items that were inspired by fairytales. The line, “Larger Than Life” features giant forms of tables,c hairs, and dishes. Although unusual and impractical the collection is cool to look at at. Who knew that as a fully grown adult you wouldn’t be able to reach the top of the table. What do you think of the “Larger Than Life” furniture? Can you picture it in a park as artwork?

Hide Your TV
Posted on August 20, 2010 · 2 CommentsThe TV is a major part of our society. People tune in to relax, find out what’s going on in the world and for entertainment. You may love having your 82″ flatpanel TV front and center in your livingroom, which is understandable, but some people want their interior design to hold all the attention. If you are one of the many people who enjoys TV, but doesn’t like the way it flows with your interiors then hide it. How about with a large piece of art? We found this image of a concealed TV on Apartment Therapy and thought it was a pretty good idea. With the help of the Art Lift by Media Decor the painting raises and lowers with the push of a button hiding the TV. Would you prefer to hide your TV if you could do so in a stylish manner?
Hickory Chair in Sustainable Home
Posted on August 18, 2010 · 1 CommentEveryone loves a good piece of furniture by Hickory Chair so we are never surprised when we find it throughout interior designs everywhere. One of its latest appearances is in the home office of the 2010 Dream Home by the Design Center at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago,Illinois. This dream home is different from others because all the designs had to be eco-friendly. By turning to Hickory Chair the designer was able to find two pieces that were stylish, comfortable and sustainable. The Camp Chair with its certified sustainable American hardwood frame and leather upholstery were chosen for the office. The sophisticated chair shows you don’t have to lose any style to have sustainable furniture.
