Mirrored Furniture

OH my! Mirrored furniture, how i love thee!!!

Mirrored furniture traditionally comes from Venice, where the mirror production began in the early 16th century. 

It didn't become widely available until 1900 when higher quality and mass mirror production became popular. 

This popularity reaches it's summit during the art déco period- a modernization movement that focused on minimalism and clean lines.

Mirrors are guaranteed to match any color scheme already present in your room and although they cannot create the illusion of a larger space, they cast light around the room. Which is perfect when you live in a small condo.

The problem with this kind of furniture besides delicacy is that the glass surface doesn't hide fingerprints or dust very well. Special care must also be taken to move those pieces around to avoid cracks which can be very expensive to repair.
Nevertheless, i love it and i am dreaming of a glamorous vanity for so long now. Unfortunately i haven't  found none appealing to me... the search continues..

Greatness: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe- Barcelona Chair

Mies van der Rohe sought to establish a new architectural style that would last. His designs are above all rational- he is often associated with the aphorism "less is more".
A companion-sized chair have been developed in 1929 for the German Pavilion. It was the county's entry for the International Exposition of 1929 held in Barcelona, Spain.

Today Knoll claims to be the current licensed manufacturer and holder of all trademarks so if you want, you can get your own piece of XXth century furniture legend for about 1000 EUR.

Buy yourself a piece of Pitt

The ever present actor is never to shy to try new stuff, as we recently could see in the new Chanel N° 5 Ad.
We all know he has a thing for architecture and nice forms... see Angelina Jolie :D.
This time he teams up with Frank Pollaro to debut a collection of 12 pieces- tables, chairs beds... what ever you desire he names it.

The collection will be unveiled November 13 in NYC... for further information and to register, please visit pollaro.com.

Of those, only nine will be made, all in different materials.

a fave of mine  THE table:





I think this might be just the beginning of a wonderful journey into the furniture world and who know what might follow-We'll stay tuned for sure.

You've made your bed...

I wouldn't mind sleeping in one of those beds... Would you?
