Recently introduced to the Hiroshima family of furniture by Maruni Wood of Japan is the new side chair.
Like many of Naoto Fukasawa’s designs the chair is simple, elegant, and honest. The amazing craftsmanship of the wood workers of Maruni define every subtle curve of the chair
Seat pad available in select colors.
Isaac Reina started a fashion line under his name in 2006 and opened his first shop in Paris the same year. Previously working with Hermès, he is the currently an accessories designer for Maison Martin Margiela.
Attention to detail is evident when you look at the quality of his minimal and timeless collections. There’s not a single part of his design that is excessive. This makes his line so unpretentious and something that can be used for the rest of our lives. For many of us who believe in craftsmanship, you can truly find the appreciation through the quality of his work.

Arne Jacobsen was one of the leading Scandinavian architects and industrial designers of the 20th century. His 1957 introduction of a line of cutlery for Georg Jensen was definitely a highlighted moment in his impressive career. What strikes me most about his cutlery was how revolutionary it was. With extremely simple and bold lines, it was unlike anything that existed before. Previous styles of cutlery for Georg Jensen were nothing like those created by Jacobsen.

This should have been posted ages ago as the Flexform Groundpiece sofa system is one of our best selling pieces for good reason.
Designed by Antonio Citterio and released in 2001, the Groundpiece sofa is a very versatile contemporary seating systems that allows you to build a grid based sofa as big or as small as your require.
The first and most obvious reason behind its success is of course its simplistic beauty. Many would consider a minimal design like this to be easy to accomplish but getting the right proportions is often the foundation for a good design.
The generous cushions keep it from looking too blocky and people who are interested in switching to a more minimal interior style often find the Flexform pieces to be a good compromise.
The options allow you to make a straight or sectional sofa with great proportions. This also means that you can add to the sofa at a later point for increased seating.
2009 is coming to an end and I thought that we would finish with some of our favourite furniture orphans of Blood Alley. Sometimes there are more furniture changes back there than in the store.
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL

As the world watches the Copenhagen Summit, the topic of climate change and what we can all do about it is on everyone’s mind.
Embracing these ideas, designers are rethinking the way they look at and work with materials. Tom Dixon’s Off Cut Stools address many design and production issues that have always affected the “green” or sustainable aspects of a product.
I thought I would show you some of these design solutions as I build this wonderful little stool.
The Off Cut Stools are so named because the legs of the stool are created using the tough irregular wood closer to the bark which is normally burnt or discarded. This also gives each stool a unique sculpted look.
The stool is flat packed for transport efficiency in a recyclable cardboard box.
