Just looking around and see lots of great new chairs.  Some of these are new introductions at Neocon, the always interesting June market that takes place in Chicago.

 This fun TWIST chair is designed by Stefan Heiliger and offered through Sandler Seating.  It has a foam shell and inner supporting steel frame sitting stylishly on a flat cross base.

Leave it to the talented Karim Rashid to wow us! His new Chakra chair, available in a variety of colors, is offered through Raynor Contract.   

Then, totally changing course, check out these great Versace chairs. Usually Versace hits me as over-the-top and depending how you use these chairs, they can still fit into that category. If they are used with care, I think they can make a great statement!

This is the Salome chair in metallic leather.

I also love it in this striking black and white fabric.

And of course, you can’t have Versace without having a Queen!  This is the glamourous and tasteful Queen Privilege Chair.

A bit more sedate, but still in shining metallic is this gorgeous chair by Modani.  Its timeless solid wood frame  and hand carved flowers give it a traditional look while its metallic finish and faux crocodile leather lining creates a beautiful look for a contemporary interior.

Back at the office, this next fun office chair has a few creators.  The Very Task chair is by Michael Welsh and Nicolai Czumaj-Bront’s from Haworth. The creative back is screen-printed in custom colors on nylon mesh by NoPattern Studio’s founder, Chuck Anderson.

Love this chair!  The Perillo is a contemporary lounge chair by designer Martin Ballendat, and is part of the always creative line-up by Dauphin. It is made of one continuous sheet of material, thermoplastic and polished chrome.  One of my favorite things about this chair ? It is reportedly 99.9% recyclable!

How DO You Do That? Making a small space larger.

People are always asking us “How do you do that?”

They often say “I would never have thought of that!” 

Designers are creative and sometimes crazy people, but a lot of times there is a method to our madness.  In our latest “How DO You Do That?” we are sharing designer secrets, interior design knowledge and do-it-yourself tricks to make things easier when you are trying to put your own room together.

We made this small, typical apartment space larger with just a few tricks of the trade!  In this small space you can see how we used color to warm up the room, contrast and friction to make things more intersting and open,  different types of artwork to solve different space problems, varying wood tones, Lucite chairs to fix a tiny dining room and modern track lighting for flexibilty and to save space.
