Reinvention is not just a concept for us mortals only. These days furniture units are being designed to multi-task and be a step ahead from the competition. Customization is they key so that the possibilities becomes limitless. The ReStyle Furniture by James Howlett does everything that a modern day consumer requires making it perfect in my books.

ReStyle is a compact coffee table cluster.
ReStyle is two tables, two chairs
ReStyle is storage.
ReStyle is a desk, a seat, and a book-shelf.
ReStyle is a child's dining table.
ReStyle is a TV and games unit.
ReStyle is a playground for children.
ReStyle is versatile.
ReStyle is sustainable.
ReStyle is whatever you want it to be.

In the last article on Objeti Furniture we covered the Aerialist Point Low Table. We want to share the rest of their versatile tables collection. Each of these models could work as coffee tables in front of a sofa. The narrow one could also work along a wall and double as a bench there. The neat thing is that these tables can be converted to seating benches which a touch of a lever. You can see the rest of their collection: here.

This modular furniture is aptly named "Orbit" as the word refers to space which is the final frontier. In this case it refers to space planning which goes to the core purpose of modular furniture. I really like these pieces as I could envision them in a home or a public seating area. The benches are so simple and yet would make a welcome addition to filling up space in a hallway in a house or in a corner of a living room. With Orbit, the more space that you have to work with, the more design possibilities arise. More information: here.

Writing all the time on Furniture Fashion, it is not often that we come across round furniture arrangements compared to the more typical square or rectangular shapes. Offices and public spaces that are seeking round or circular spatial relationships in their seating needs may be drawn to this type of arrangement. This product is called "Kurve" and was designed by Niels Gammelgaard. The design inspiration for Kurve came from a garden complex in Barcelona, Spain called Park Guell. There a particular bench mimics the shape of a sea serpent. More information: here.

There is nothing better than creating your own private oasis and taking a break from your modern frenzied existence. The Droplet Seat has been designed to provide a refreshing refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life. We also simply love its thoughtful design thought and its unique three dimensional silhouette.Shaped like a raindrop, this one is all about connecting with nature and finding your own quite spot to de-stress. The Droplet Seat is the brainchild of design company Ontwerpers who have used fiber reinforced artificial resin as the primary material.

These decorative leather benches were winners of a Design Award in 2008. The product is called "Plasma". There are three sizes of the bench that differ in length from shorter to longer. Further, there is another variation where the shape itself can be reversed creating a choice as to which side the deepest portion of the bench will appear. Find the product: here.

Alexandre Moronnoz created this outdoor seating concept called the "Interference Urban Bench". The urban benches are made from laser cut metal. The outer appearance creates a calm reflective surface upon which to sit and enjoy the outdoors. By contrast, the interior working shows disorder, movement and a lack of stability creating a unique overall theme to the piece. More information: here.

For anyone who has used a log as a makeshift bench, you may see the real beauty of the Tree Trunk Bench from designer Jurgen Bey. The wise decision by Bey to offer the 3 cast bronze chair backs and let the lumber be purchased locally will certainly make the shipping and receiving a lot easier. The Tree Trunk Bench is part of the permanent collections of The International Design Museum Munich, Germany, High Museum of Art Atlanta, USA, and the Centraal Museum Utrecht, The Netherlands. $15,700 Available from Droog

Our friends at Dornob reported on this really cool bench concept and I thought I would pass it along to our readers. It is not often you get an ala carte piece of furniture but the AllPlus collection of modern benches mostly for commercial and outdoor use, offer this pick and choose model that you configure as you want. The SITO has a sleek modern look and aluminum construction that offers a nice break from the same old boring benches we see in office buildings and public meeting areas. See the entire collection of bright and optimistic benches from AllPlus here.
