Home Furniture Ideas

What do you think a long rope could do? Hanging something on it? Yes, but it also can be used to build a chair. An yes this seems ridiculous but one of the great designers, Jon Fraser, designs a brilliant idea by creating a furniture from 80 meters of rope. Found on HomeTone, the Ropey Chair combines comfort with function and not to mention originality. According to the project developer, the unique chair is ”a quirky take on the use of materials in the world around us. Differing from other fibre/resin composite furniture, Ropey Chair also retains the softness of the Sisal weave in the seating bucket. The result is a striking and comfortable combination. Ropey chair is made from 80 metres of sisal rope soaked in polyurethane resin and cured into 20 unique profiles, which create a smoothly contoured surface. In designing Ropey Chair I considered many possible iterations. However, I chose to make the looped stool as I felt its simple form did not overwhelm the story behind the chair.” Can you guess how long it took for Jon to put together this out-of-the-box design? To prove the process is not exactly an easy one, the chair was a one-week job. We really like the outcome and are wondering if you feel the same way.

I think this table is really great to put on your lovely room to complete the warmth of the great Christmas and new year. This table called Float Coffee Table was created by Liz Boscacci and comes with an interesting base structure, which contributes to its very fresh appearance. At a first glance, one may associate the base with coffee beans or playful rubber balls. However, the idea for the product is said to be inspired by the underwater bubbles floating towards the surface. We absolutely love the contrast between the elegant, seemingly fragile table top and the “crowded” wooden base. The materials used to create this intriguing coffee table were turned mahogany and glass. And in case you are interested, the dimensions of the product are as follows: 3 feet in diameter and a height of 13 inches. We are certain that an unconventional design such as this one can not leave one indifferent, which is why we are looking forward to your comments.

Crafting a piece of wood to be a piece of art is not an easy thing, even more if it is combined of art and utility. One of this design here is a table which has a great sculpture on its feet. The Bear Table is an innovative concept (unfortunately we did not find the name of the project developer, so if you could help us here, that would be great) that aims at blending sculpture with functionality. This product draws attention due to a large bear shape that supports the more-familiar table top. We find the details of the sculpture to be quite interesting and even though this design could seem a bit “extravagant”, we appreciate its boldness. The two color combinations in the photos (green and brown, black and brown respectively) are equally daring and could suit a modern interior with a strong personality. According to HomeTone, the product glorifies the strength of the bear, an animal with unique characteristics, inspiring both power and fear.

This inspiration comes from the Buddha head table that were designed by 21st Living Art and make for some intriguing decor additions. Here are a few words from the producers: “Beato Pouf and Pacifico Table fully satisfy the use they were designed for. They have a strong symbolic value that actually dilutes their seemingly ironic and “peaceful” appearance. The head of Buddha, symbol of a faraway culture, is used here in a new way as seating, becoming an easy and versatile piece of furniture. Beato Pouf therefore becomes part of our relaxing moments, integrating itself in the surrounding space almost like a piece of history. Pacifico Table wants to tell us its story. As we sit around it we can take in its beauty and appreciate it for its simplicity and immediacy.”
