Doshi Levien, My Beautiful Backside

My Beautiful Backside is collection of seats designed by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien. From the name sounds like there's a surprise in the back. But my favorite parts are in the front. The colorful pillows and mitch match cushions are so cute. I love how these look like they just thrown together.

Garden furniture | What I want now!

It's spring again and it's time when I'm obsessed about garden furniture again! I bought a couple vintage chairs that I put out side my patio. Now they both become deteriorate as time goes by. I really need to get a new set of seats. I came across this lovely site, gardenhousedecor. Love love love the colorful furniture.

Alexandria Chair

I'm in love with this French-inspired chair designed by Suzanne Kasler for Hickory Chair Furniture Company. It's feminine, whimsical and beautiful.

Bamboo Stool

Bamboo stool found here

Bamboo is a popular choice of material these days, because of its high sustainability. Growing up in Asia it's hard for me to imagine that a typical thing like bamboo furniture could be this modern. This stool is simple yet well constructed. I don't know if they got inspiration from dim sum steamer or not, but this makes me hungry looking at it.

Hermann Czech chair would fit right in any room in my house. Just like Thonet chair, this chair is just classic. Designed in 1994, the Hermann Czech chair represents modern day's warmth and comfort. The chair frame was steam bent from a single piece of wood. And they reminds me of my childhood favorite snack, Pocky. No need to explain why.

Work tables

c.1940s. Vintage Industrial Workshop Table

Vintage 19th Century Tailor's Table

c.1900s. High Victorian Ladies Work Table

These work tables would make me work!! I wish I have found this website before we did a table shopping. I would have gone for vintage work table like these instead of our 1930s modernist, Parson table.
