furniture :: chummy seating

I love this award winning seating called Confluences by Philippe Nigro for Ligne Roset. Colorful, a bit eccentric in design and lookin' cozy!

Introduced at the 2009 ICFF, each component of Confluences seating combines varying heights, depths and angles to create a variety of seating layouts in an unconventional way. Just like a puzzle, the colorful non-symetrical pieces can be pieced together to form two, three or four seater sofas with a chaise option. Another plus? The covers are completely removable and are offered in a variety of fabrics and colors. I like that! This JUST COOL design was recoginized as a Red Dot Best of the Best distinction and received "A Young Design Award", awarded to designers under 35, at the Milan Furniture Fair

furniture :: bean bags on legs

The bean bag is back, only this time it's on legs and looking a little more sophisticated! That wise old phrase, "comfort is more important then beauty" clearly relates to this new line of comfy looking polystyrene bead filled seating which was  presented  at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan last week when Dutch brand "Montis" unveiled it's “beanbag on legs” styled by designer Bertjan Pot. The squishy modern seating line called "Lazy Bastard" combines the casualness of a beanbag with the comfort of a lounge chair.

Looks alluringly comfy, doesn't it? It's JUST COOL!
