Every time I see photos showing the chair designs coming out of Bend, it only makes me want them more. I don’t even care which one, I just know I need an Orange one.

Based in Rotterdam and founded in 2010, ARRé Design Agency specializes in contemporary furniture and home accessories. I really like the nearly industrial style of their designs. Interestingly, some of the interlocking components are reversible allowing you a little design freedom of your own.

STOKPERD FURNITURE

Published on Wednesday, July 11 2012

I really love the custom build furniture coming from Monya Eastman via her company Stokperd. Her presentation and photography is also just as beautiful.

TRUCK FURNITURE

Published on Friday, June 8 2012

I am absolutely in love with the furniture coming out of Truck Furniture. Founded by Tokuhiko Kise and Hiromi Karatsu in 1997, they design the kind of furniture that somehow breathes life. With careful attention to materials, design, construction, and presentation, Truck goes to great lengths to produce quality furniture intended to last a long time. Click below to see more of their amazing work (and photography), and pay their website a visit. The catalogs are definitely worth a peak. Very well done.

I really appreciate Twenty Gauge‘s commitment to producing and preserving high quality classic designs. I have always had a soft spot for vintage industrial furniture, and that’s why I was so excited to stumble upon Twenty Gauge this week. I would love some of these pieces in our home and office.
