The “Divided Sideboard” was created by FRONT DESIGN with the concept of doing something different than a traditional furniture sideboard. From the Magic Collection, this piece defies gravity in the way that one drawer is not connected to the other three in any way. The stair-step approach of the remaining three drawers creates an optical image more like art than furniture. Dimensions: 14.9″ x 60.6″ x 32.6″. More information: here.

As an extra, here is another model that was created where all the drawers are connected together.

Transitional is a fun design area to be in where traditional furniture and design moves a bit more to the modern side. Bathroom design is perhaps the most fitting area for a classic home to move a bit transitional. A bathroom is associated with “getting clean” with a high expectation on keeping it sanitary. The “clean lines” fundamentals behind modern design exude a clean look which creates the public appeal towards transitional. These pictures come from Lasa Idea and highlight traditional bathroom furniture that has a transitional influence. Via.

“Umarmung” was a piece originally commissioned for a private residence in Tokyo, Japan. The floor sitting couch is perhaps the first of its kind. The Zaisu chair has graced Japanese culture for centuries creating awareness around the world with its floor sitting design. The natural evolution is for “floor sitting design” to move into other furniture objects, in this case a couch. Christhoph Vogl had this to say about the project, “Umarmung is inspired by the long tradition of floor-sitting culture in Japan where the connection between the body and conversations is not restricted to universal seat height and conventional definition of sofa”.

Zaisu chairs are a floor sitting piece of furniture that came into style in Japan during the Muromachi period. During that period of architecture floors were covered in thick straw mats known as “tatami”. The ruling warrior class created strict rules about living daily lives which brought on the sitting posture called “seiza” as it was deemed the respectful way to sit. Now, Japanese dining furniture sets featuring Zaisu chairs are popular as families adopt traditional Japanese ways of living in an effort to improve the connection a family feels while spending time together.

This set of room dividers is a good alternative if you are seeking some privacy and separation, but are not looking for a complete wall that will block the view of the other room.
