Modern Furniture Standards Challenged

One of my selection recent<span style="font-weight: bold;"> furniture </span>collections from “boutique” industrial <span style="font-weight: bold;">designers</span> is Unique Standards from the Stockholm-based Folkform http://www.folkform.se Truly remarkable in terms of design, materials, implementation and integration into daily use, Unique Standards, although evenhandedly diminutive (only four elements), is thought-provoking, visually stimulating and coercive in a sensory-kind of way.<p><strong>The Marble Cabinet</strong> is boxy but brilliantly designed. Using white carrera marble and marble laminate, the front façade of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">cabinet</span> is flat in lieu of the two different types of finishes used and because of their puzzle-like integration into a whole. While esoteric on the exterior, Marble Cabinet is just as clever on the inside. Instead of having one compartment that parallel’s its smaller dimensions, this cabinet offers 8 small compartments unevenly scattered but yielding to the planned rectangular geometry of its outer silhouette.</p> <div id="attachment_303" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 538px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://best-interiors-designs.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Modern Furniture Standards Challenged " class="size-large wp-image-303" src="http://www.eroomservice.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/marble-cabinet-528x396.jpg" style="width: 356px; height: 267px;" title="Marble Cabinet by Folkform" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;" class="wp-caption-text">Marble Cabinet by Folkform</p></div>
