Art Furniture in Office Design and for Your Home

In times of economic crisis design tends to solve problems rather than create unique art that requires considerable investments. But exactly in such gloomy time we need the inspiration of art in order to go through it and see the 'silver lining'.
This is a unique sculptural table that I came across today, suitable for the most artistic office in the world! Great work! The fusion of glass with the elm wood is so natural and elegant! I have posted about great office design products, but this is the most impressive one!

Its name is Ulmus Impudicus by the artist Danny Lane and was created in 2007 from Booked burr elm, aluminium, Colour glass — China Red
H72 x L500 x W188cm















For my home I would choose his Nv Wa Forged, flame cut steel, Colour glass tables (above) - aren't they the best focal point for any room?

How Cool Is Your House Quiz

A little amusement for my visitors: I just found this quiz on channel4 and got assured how good designer I am:)
I am using quotation marks to enclose the original text from the quiz results.

"We bow to your home...

Unbelievable level of hip. You're not just on top of all the latest trends - you're out there creating your own and you're copied relentlessly by everyone you know. Tom Dixon's got you on speed dial and Posh Spice wants to you design her Milan pad (which you'd never deign to do, obviously)."

Here is the link:

Although I like the illustration they used to show how cool my home is, I would have chosen something much better - like one of my favourit cupboards that are going to be part of this year's Milan Design Week

You can take the quiz here yourself and are all welcome to comment. I am curious to see what you think.
