Philippe Starck XO Bonze stool – love it or loathe it?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

red-bonze-xo-philippe-starckbonze-gold-xobonze-black-xobonze-platinium-xo

Would you choose one of these stools to go in your home? Do you love the design or loathe it?

The ceramic Bonze stools are part of the Xo range by designer Philippe Starck. Possibly not to everybody’s taste, the sculptural piece with a face in the base doubles up as both a stool and a small side table. It’s been produced in a range of colours, including platinum, gold, black and red, with the shiny finishes of the gold and platinum being quite glitzy and decorative.

You’ll probably have to really love the Bonze stool to buy it, as it’s not cheap. The black and red versions are £578, the gold is £644 and the platinum will set you back £693.

You can find out more about the Bonze stools, or buy one, at Made in Design.

Glow tub chair and coffee table

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

glow-tub-chair       glow-coffee-table

Tub chairs are really comfortable for outdoor use, but this funky chair contains an LED light source, so it glows and provides some light as you sit outside when dusk is falling.

What’s more, it changes colour too – going through a series of seven different colour hues. Controllable via a small pocket sized remote control, the chair has a battery life of five hours and can easily be recharged again.

A matching coffee table, with the same abilities, is also available to complete the look. If you just want one piece, then a coffee table that lights up to tell you where to put your glass in the dark sounds perfect.

Both the glow tub chair and the glow coffee table are available from Dwell.

Andrew Martin alphabet table

Friday, May 14th, 2010

andrew-martin-f-alphabet-table andrew-martin-d-alphabet-table1 andrew-martin-b-alphabet-table

These alphabet tables are brilliant!

Designed by Andrew Martin, made from metal with a chrome finish, each of the tables is in the shape of a letter of the alphabet. The full range of letters is available so, if you wish (and if you can afford it), you could spell out names or messages with them.

Sadly they are a tad pricey, so we’ll only be buying the F, D and B tables (representing Fresh Design Blog, of course) if we win EuroMillions tonight. 

Go and have a look at the range of alphabet tables over at Occa Home.

Styish table cloth weights from Zara Home

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

orson-table-weightmathilde-table-weightlimbert-table-weight   

I know it’s a bit early to think too much about dining outside on balmy days (one can but dream), but there’s no harm in planning ahead.

Table weights, which clip onto tablecloths, are a great way of securing a cloth on an outside table so that no unexpected gusts of wind accidentally ruffle the cloth and knocks glasses of drink over. They’re the kind of accessory that you can never find when you really need them, so why not stock up now?

These three gorgeous table weights, with their decorative glass beads, are all from Zara Home and are suitably stylish.  There’s the bronze coloured Orson table weight, with its large mostacilla bead, the multi-coloured and vibrant Mathilde and the white beaded Limbert table weight.  

Each of the table weights come in a set of four – one for each of the corners of your table cloth – and are available from Zara Home.

Tapered rectangular coffee table from Dwell

Friday, February 5th, 2010

   tapered-rectangular-coffee-table   tapered-rectangular-coffee-table-2

If you’re looking for a modern design coffee table, then how about this unusual rectangular tapered design?

The coffee table is quite chunky, but the tapering at the sides helps give it a more slimline look. It’s finished off with rounded edges, so you won’t get a nasty jab if you knock into it.

Finished in a lovely gloss lacquer with great reflective abilities, the table is available in black or teal.

You’ll find it available to buy from Dwell.

Nina Campbell napkins

Monday, January 18th, 2010

nina-campbell-butterfly-napkins   nina-campbell-dragonfly-napkins

We spotted these Nina Campbell napkins featured in the January 2010 issue of Easy Living magazine.

The pictures don’t really do them justice, but the crisp white napkins are subtlely decorated with either a butterfly or dragonfly design. They’re available embroidered in either silver or gold and measure 54cm by 54cm.

Although very simple, it’s an effective way of freshening up white napkins and adding an element of interest. They’d look lovely on any discerning dining table.

The napkins are £6.99 each from Nina Campbell.
