On a dull, somewhat uninspiring Monday morning, we need furniture that will liven things up….and you can’t get much better than a spinning chair.

The aptly named Spun chair is designed by Thomas Heatherwick for Magis and is a great example of a fun and funky contemporary furniture design.  Ever wanted to spin around your office on a giant spinning top? This chair will allow you to do just that!

Swivel in a circular rocking movement, spin full circle or simply sit back and relax – the choice is yours.

Fab Friday Bargain: Save money on designer Flux chairs

Friday, March 1st, 2013

Flux chair contemporary seatingWe’ve featured the brilliantly designed contemporary Flux chairs before and, if you’ve been hankering after one, then here’s a fab Friday bargain for you.

Designed by Tom Schouten and Douwe Jacobs, the Flux chair is made from a single piece of tough polypropelene.

One of the key benefits of this design, and something that sets it apart from other chairs, is that, when not in use, you can fold the chair down into an envelope shape, so that you can easily and effortlessly store your chair.

Flux chairs are available in a range of colours from the classic black and white, to vibrant red and orange, or soft blue and grey.

Urban Outfitters have the Flux chairs available in eight colour choices and they’ve all been reduced online from £125 to £80 each – giving you a saving of £55.

These Knot pouf seats, which are great for use as occasional seating or footrests, are available in either round or square designs.

The crochet knit gives a great textured feel to them and the round pouf, especially in natural, looks reminiscent of a big ball of woven string!

Floral Sofapop Calton contemporary armchair

Contemporary arm chair sofa

Zingy red arm chair

We’re loving the colour and design of this Sofapop Calton armchair.

The chair is a great size and shape and it’s given a brilliant zing by the bright red patterned cover.

If you’re not usually into florals, then this is a good option, as it’s not too ‘in your face’ floral. They say the fabric features, ‘white silhouettes of branches and flowers,’ but it reminds us of delicate blooms of cow parsley.

One big bonus is that the fabric cover can be removed, so if you get fed up with the red and white design, you can change it for something else.

The Sofapop Calton armchair with flowers 2 cover is currently priced at £299 from Fashion For Home.
