Wishbone Rocking Chair by Toby Howes

This simple lines and curves wishbone rocking chair is made out of maple and walnut with 900mm high 550mm wide and 1100mm long created by British furniture designer Toby Howes.

Description from the designer, Toby Howes:

I like to use different materials when designing new pieces, to give me an alternate view on shapes & textures, & this one started life as a couple of pipecleaners! It’s all about the lines &, from the side, you can see every curve mirrors the others to give an unusual silhouette for a rocking chair. Originally, it was constructed completely out of maple but, by adding the walnut into the supporting curves, the two-tone now draws the eye through the chair’s lines.

The shorter than usual rockers mean it doesn’t take up as much floor space & the design can be ‘au naturel’ or upholstered to your taste. Although the design is contemporary, the woods used can be changed to fit in with a more traditionally furnished home as well &, I’m told, the wishbone is especially comfortable for nursing mothers.

Unique Carbon 451 Lamp by Marcus Tremonto

This unique Carbon 451 lighting design is made out of Carbon Fiber created by American artist & american designer Marcus Tremonto.

From the designer :

When asked by art gallery owner Patrick Brillet to design a piece out of Carbon Fiber, we decided to celebrate and utilize the best of the materials true physical properties, its strength and lightness. The complexity of curves and required thinness could not be duplicated in any other material while still maintaining its ability to support itself completely…

Concrete and Steel Modern Home Interior Design

This concrete and steel modern home interior design was designed by Garret Cord Werner LLC, a design firm that offers complete design services from residential, commercial and interior design. Preserve and modernize was the vision for this small and worn 1930s house on a steep, exposed site high above the city in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighboorhood. The owner wanted to keep the shell and completely overhaul the interior, rather than tear down and start fresh. The result is an unlikely but highly successful marriage of Mediterranean-style archways and tile roof with sleek, muscular contemporary interiors.

Several small, dark rooms were reconfigured and opened up dramatically to light and striking views, including the iconic Space Neddle and Elliot Bay. The owner’s decided preference for concrete and steel was reflected in the home’s narrow palette of materials, including concrete for countertops, sinks, tubs and fireplaces and most walls: walnut for floors and cabinets as well as a large dining room table; walnut and steel pocket doors; dark-stained fir ceilings; steel stairway and deck and oversized steel and glass pivot door.

The lower level of the home was also daylighted through the replacement of a light-blocking rockery with a water feature that cascades down a two-story concrete retaining wall into a pool.
