Birdy chair is a great addition to any modern interior. It’s produced by Homebasic and each copy is handmade of wood, liana and leather. The dried liana is made flexible and easy to handle by hot water steam and wrapped on the frame made of wood. When the liana is dried again it is very strong and hard to break.

Luxury Haven for Peace and Relaxation

I just love this shower unit ! Spacious and light with more than enough room for two!
The shower unit Sensmare was designed by Professor Gunter Horntrich and is one of the new lines added to the Hoesch range.
The shower unit’s glass is made from patented Hoesch Everclean glass, which is resistant to both lime scale deposits and water marks forming. Great for keeping the shower looking beautifully clean and shiny with little effort. My kind of practical shower!
The slatted seating and standing area are made from durable African wood. Being able to flip them up individually offers great different variations when or if you want to share your shower time! With a row of water jets located at the far side of each seat this shower is an ideal space to sit, relax and chat.
In recent years showers have become sanctuaries for relaxation and de-stressing after a long day or as an instant refreshing wake up at the start of the day. Those who prefer not to wallow in a bath will love this shower unit with its subtle coloured integral lighting.
I love the unobstructed glass panels, low shower tray to step into and the generous amount of space Sensmare offers. A far cry from trying to squeeze into tiny shower cubicles of the past especially if you wanted to share your shower time!
Hoesch designs are all about providing havens to promote well being and inner peace.
Sensmare shower unit certainly offers those qualities for me.

Luxury and Funky ''frilly'' Chair

Making its entry at the Milan design Festival earlier this year 'frilly' chair by Spanish specializer Patricia Urquiola is fun and funky!
I love the vibrant straight colours of these polycarbonate chairs. Due to the material utilised they can be utilised both inside and outside. What a great way to alter up an outside seating area or add a touch of vibrancy to a room!
With the moulded curve in the back rest 'Frilly' chairs look unco comfortable. These are a great alternative to the unremarkable impressible chairs seen on many patios and decking areas. Being made from polycarbonate they will be easy to keep pristine looking throughout the season season. When it's likewise cold to sit outside the chairs can be utilised inside. Being water nonabsorptive makes them fit for use in rooms with humid atmospheres like a bath or shower room. Alternatively they would wage a trendy injection of colour in a bedroom. With a wide range of colours acquirable there is a chair to suit all interior decors and colour schemes.
Patricia Urquiola desired to create a practical chair which gave a pleated artifact look to her broad hardback chairs, which I think she has achieved superbly.
My favourite colour is the vivid cerise pink, which I would chose for a trendy yet feminine teenager's bedroom.

Due to the image of the polycarbonate, placing the 'Frilly' chair near a window or light maker I'm sure would display some fantastic visual effects.
