Ten Products

1. Derek Marshall Lighting Marrakesh

I chose this Marrakesh lighting fixture because of its unique organic feel that incorporates American art glass and metal drop tubes. This was designed by Derek Marshall for his newest Pendant lighting fixture collection, and cost around $1,050.00. It was designed to create a strong local light such as over a dinging table or an island in a kitchen. Other types of Pendants by Derek Marshall include the Vortex, Sushi, Genji and Django. These beautiful pieces of art are well known in New Hampshire not only their beauty but also for their striking features of American contemporary finishes.

2. Jamie Young Butterworth

This very interesting Butterworth table lamp is designed with a mercury glass base and gathered drum shade in sheer black organza. Jamie Young designed this collection of table & floor lamps to "glam" up any interior space with elegance and sophistication, and have also been used in many TV shows and design magazines. I like this particular lamp because it is a great example of a modern accessory that is not extremely expensive, it only cost $645.00. Jamie Young's lamps are made by hand out of organic and natural materials.

3. Hartcorn Furniture + Design Dragonfly

This abstract Dragonfly desk tricks the eye with its duality of motion and rest. The bowed out table legs and simplicity remind me of the actual insect that inspired Hartcorn's design, the Dragonfly. Although this blonde-tone cherry desk is very beautiful, it comes with a rather large price tag of $6,800.00. I love this contemporary piece because it is very calming and takes me to a quiet place of relaxation. It is definitely a step up from our old, boring table desks. These Boston natives have won many awards for their unique designs & collections.


4. Heller UltraCube

This modern cube by Frank Gehry represents the evolution of his previous Right Twist model, with the added bonus of new technology and materials. I love this piece because it allows you to use our imagination for its purpose, whether you want it placed beside your front door or as an end table, it is so versatile. It is made out of three-ply urethane which is covered in silver automobile paint, making the outside of the cube very durable. With its sleek surface and flowing lines in a high gloss finish the UltraCube is a perfect example of Frank Gehry's attempts to better "humanize" a building.

5. Saunder Education Trey

Trey is by far the best invention of a chair since the rolling chair. It not only can be used as a floor rocker but it can also be used as a table/stool. This fabulous chair has a contoured seat and back cushions, pneumatic height adjustment, and is also spine-friendly! At around $60.00 you can have this comfortable chair to use in your office or dorm rooms. I like the neutral colors that the Saunder Education Co. chose because it is easy on the eye and the soft material reminds me of a relaxing spa recliner. It is also wonderful because its purpose is geared towards making today's students more comfortable & relaxed during their most stressful times.

6. Vitraform Peach Confetti

Since the bathroom is my favorite part of a house I chose this Peach Confetti glass sink. Just by introducing a new color to a room it can completely be transformed into a new, modern space. This freestanding sink by Vitraform is made out of matte glass and offers over ten different design engravings for the glass bowls. This particular sink was featured in Home & Garden magazine for its ability to bring art into home accessories.


7. Roche-Bobois Nonchalance Sofa

This new technology sofa definitely looks like it could live up to its name, I just want to run up and fall into it. It is made out of comfy leather which covers up a goose feather duvet. This one of a kind sofa comes with a remote control that allows you to choose your specific elevation for your legs and support for your back.


8. Terzani Untitled

This stainless steel creation by Bruno Rainaldi, of Terzani, is my ideal light fixture for a modern dining room. This lamp consists of a collection of geometrical plates, laser cut and lacquered in white on the back. I love this product not only because of its unique shape but also because of its new creative outlook on shapes. This sleek lighting piece is suspended both vertically and horizontally which creates a wonderful eye candy. It runs for around $3,731.00, which is not bad for a beautiful piece of modern day art.

9. Niedermaier Avalon

I chose this hourglass end table by Luke Wong because it immediately reminded me of the "Tulip Table" by Eero Sarrinen that we saw yesterday in class. I love its sleek, classy design with the curvy fiberglass body that turns into a thin glass top. It almost looks futuristic in a sense that the clean lines create a simple, modern space. This small accessory represents how our modern day designs are always going to be based on the past.




10. Brave Space Design Tetrad Bamboo


This bamboo storage piece by Brave Space Design was inspired by the game Tetris. These shapes were specifically chosen for sustainability purposes so they can be functional and hold a good amount of weight. The materials used include natural & amber bamboo, which provide relaxing warm tones to any space it is chosen to be put in. As playful as the shelving unit sounds the price however is not, at an outstanding $2,000.00 per unit. I love this unit because the style is a lot like how I want to design spaces in the future, playful but modern.
