MOD Bed

This is just what the doctor ordered. This is jetson's meets poliform.  This piece is loaded with fun stuff to do. A flat screen, curtains (remote), mood lighting and a sound system. I know where I would spend  my Sundays and  maybe my saturdays and definitely my date night evenings. This is definitely a bachelor pad must have. This requires a bunch of monetary units, but something tells me it's worth every thousand you spend. Price 42,000 euros..In U.S. dollars that's, oh my god, $53,000.  You could always eat a lot of dinners in bed. For more information go to http://www.hi-can.com/. If you buy one, you must have an I Spent Too Much Money on This Bed and Won't Be Able to go Anywhere Party. I'm a coming......

Hans Wegner Beauty

Halyard Chair

I adore this piece! It comes in other colors, but I must say that this particular unit with the added sheepskin throw is my fave. It's neutral so it would easily be used as part of my MODern Mix. Some other Hans Wegner pieces are available for your viewing pleasure @ www.danish-futniture.com. It is made from Halyard (which means to haul yards). Halyard is the ropes used to hoist sails on boats. Just a little bit of product knowledge.

Aria Sofa Meets Papailo Chair

Aria Sofa

The Aria Sofa exudes clean contemporary lines and makes for a comfy day at home in front of your favorite foreign flick. Paired with this fabo floor covering  (below) (trade word for rug) and the once again yummy papailo chair (also below). Pair these with lighting in a caramel tones and splash in a few purple velvet pillows (maybe bolsters - just love them) on the sofa and voila.  You have the beginning of a wonderful marriage of colors. And, purple is in this season so you will also be the trendiest girl on your block.   

Papailo Chair

Papailo Chair

Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, this piece emphasises the Japanese aim of the designer at giving preference to details, including the less noticeable ones. There is a balance of form, which starts from the curve of the back and arrives until the long conical shape of the frame.

This piece is also covered by fabric and leather, and also has a removable cover thanks to a metallic zip on its back. Shown in a yummy purple. Did I mention it also swivels and has an optional ottoman. Let's dress it up a bit by mixing an original oil painting by New York artist Victoria Steinberg. Now that's a MODern Mix.

Leather Swinging Hammock

Modern design meets relax and say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This one of a kind hammock offers both a cool design aesthetic and a place to seek refuge. This is definitely a grown up hammock. Imagine lounging in this beauty after a longgggggggggg day at the office. Maybe this is  your office. :0) Installed next to  floor to ceiling windows in a loft with a view and the sun shining throug, this would be divine.  And, you can't ask for a better color to make you feel warm and happy.

New Works by Artist Victoria Steinberg-Harmann

 

This just goes to show what diversity Victoria really has in her work. She was recently featured at the Rockefeller Preserve in Westchester, New York as part of their Peoni Festival. I had the pleasure of attending this event with her and was surprised to see Martha Stewart show up out of nowhere. Victoria never ceases to amaze me. She can paint anything! No, really she can. Even more incredible is to be inside her home surrounded by this incredible work all around you. Each time I have been lucky enough to be there, I have taken just a few moments to look around and take it all in. In person, these pieces as well as all of her others, capture you. She seems to get better and better! 

70s Fireplace

I just love these fireplaces! They are the coolest! Below is the latest design by Dominique Imbert straight to you from MOD Props. They range from $500 up to several thousand dollars. But, the good thing is that there is a version to fit almost most budgets. There are also ventless versions of these on the more portable side (below) now available with biofuels safe for the environment and you. What a way to create instant ambience!
