Hey furniture fanatics, M2L has created a virtual showroom called Michael's Loft where the company features designer furniture (floor samples, discontinued items and over-stocked pieces) at prices of up to 70% off. The site also extends an extra 15% discount to architects and designers who provide credentials. I spotted this Little Tulip barstool (one of Pierre Paulin's iconic pieces for Artifort) for $1,490 a pair. Now, if they only had the Womb Chair and Ottoman I'm dreaming I'll own someday, I'd be pointing and clicking like mad!

Let's Get Wired!

I happened upon this great furniture in ABC Carpet & Home yesterday. It's craftily made of metal wire and has a three-dimensional quality that adds depth and texture to a space (which is easier to see from this shot of the back). The boxy frame makes the seat roomy and comfortable. Called The Workshop, the line is produced in India. The chair retails for $2,195, the loveseat for $3,695, and the sofa for $6,095. There's also a sofa table, which sells for $895. This is not your grandmother's chicken wire!

Know When to Fold 'Em

Media_http4bpblogspot_hhknl

The Bocci booth at ICFF caught my eye for the company’s collection of chic furnishings. The Vancouver-based design house introduced Omer Arbel’s 25 Bench with its sexy pleats and sleek profile. The designer, also from Vancouver, is known for his explorations of folding and pleating. He decided to forgo foam in this bench in favor of voluptuous layers of folded and pleated fabric, which, over time, shift to conform to the shapes of the bodies resting on 25’s angular seat.
