Contemporary Cozy Chair – Bunny by Normann-Copenhagen

This contemporary cozy chair by Normann-Copenhagen is as inviting to look at as it is to sit in. A modern interpretation of the classic ear design, the Bunny chair designed by Iskos-Berlin is characterized by its vibrant colors, soft edges and a silhouette shaped by tightly wound bindings. Plush arms, a super-soft seat and solid back lure you to lean back and get swallowed up in cozy comfort, and you may never get up. The contemporary chair comes in trendy tones of pink, grey and purple, and retails for 3,000 EUR. More details are available by visiting Normann-Copenhagen.

Curved Desk Made Of Maple by Nico Yektai

Nico Yektai is a creative designer that is trained in both art and craftsmanship. We already showed one of his awesome works before – a bench made of natural wood and concrete. Here is one of his latest works – the Desk #2. The whole desk is designed around the dynamic energy and movement of wood curves. It’s made of maple and features three drawers. Each of these drawers opens in a slightly different direction making the experience of opening them part of the discovery of the piece. The desk definitely can become the focal point of any room that it is in.

Sliding Into Home: Four Modern Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are no less elegant now than they were in the long-ago Asian cultures in which they originated, but new materials have given them a sturdier, more pronounced presence than their predecessors of centuries past.  Today’s roundup of modern sliding doors, also called “fusama,” range from glass room dividers to metal sliding wardrobe doors, as well as a heavy slab of wood from Bartels acting as a privacy partition for a master bedroom in an urban loft.  They may not provide as much satisfaction as a slammed door during moments of frustration, but then again, it might be a moot point since they lend a sense of Zenlike calm to their surrounding spaces.  You could say it’s in their genes.

8 Gleaming Modern Mirrors

“Mirror, mirror on the wall… who’s the fairest one of all?”  Reflective surfaces have been around as long as pools of water have existed, but today’s roundup of modern mirrors takes things to the next level.  While most of us have a wall mirror behind the bathroom vanity and perhaps a floor-length mirror in the bedroom or closet, we have to admit they’re last on the list when it comes to furnishing or re-furnishing a space.  The eight designers whose works are featured below obviously consider mirrors to be much more than an afterthought; behold the puzzle created by independent designer Emiliani Brinci, the eyepopping fractal mirror by Zuo and the mesmerizing wall of mirrors that snagged a coveted spot in Elle Decor.  Not to promote narcissism or anything, but in a home filled with mirrors like these, you might never leave the house.

Three Phenomenal Outdoor Kitchens

It’s one thing to have a full-scale chef’s kitchen in your home, but it’s quite another to have a second one out in the backyard.  Today’s roundup features three comprehensive outdoor kitchens, from the Medieval simplicity of the custom Outdoor Creations bar to the whole-kit-and-caboodle awesomeness of the culinary extravaganza offered by Viking Range (as well as the perfectly respectable, middle-of-the-road Lynx outdoor kitchen from GrillShoppe to keep the balance in between).  Whether it’s an impromptu family dinner al fresco or a 50-guest backyard barbecue with all the bells and whistles, you’ll be more than prepared with a patio spread like one of these.

Remodelista Relaunches Next Week

The countdown begins: On Monday, January 23, we'll be launching a redesigned, re-engineered Remodelista. Here's a sneak peek.

N.B.: On Sunday, January 22, we'll be down intermittently between 5 and 11pm, while we prepare for the launch. Please excuse the construction downtime.

You might remember our questionnaire of a couple of months ago, asking for reader feedback. We took careful note of your comments, suggestions, and observations and have been working behind-the-scenes to get the next major version of the site ready. Here are some of the features to look forward to:

• City Guides: If you're planning a trip, you can now see all our shops, restaurants, and hotels, grouped by city.
• Bigger images: See more details in high-resolution images.
• Add your comment: We've changed our comments server so you can now add feedback directly under each post.
• Responsive design: The site layout will adapt to whatever device you're using, whether it's an iPad, iPhone, or laptop.

We know that any change, even for the better, is difficult at first; we look forward to hearing from you as you get to know the new site.

Four New Large Appliances that Might Change Your Life

Remember watching The Jetsons and wondering when all that state-of-the-art technology would be available in real life?  Well, that time is now; behold today’s roundup of four new large appliances that just might change your life.  First up is the LCD Touch Screen Refrigerator from Samsung; its interactive screen mimics that of a smartphone or laptop, with downloadable apps connecting you to social media channels, weather reports, news headlines, and — of course — recipes on demand.  For those who love to cook but barely have the time, there’s the GE Advantium speedcooking oven, which prepares meals up to eight times faster than its conventional counterparts; it even claims the ability to cook a five-pound chicken in about 30 minutes without sacrificing taste or texture.  Even the most luxurious of discretionary incomes may have to stretch a bit to accommodate the Polara refrigerator range combo from Whirlpool, in which you can place your dinner first thing in the morning before you leave for work; it keeps the food cool during the day and switches to oven mode at a predetermined time, cooking your meal for you on demand.  The Polara may not be the most environmentally conscious appliance ever made, given the fact that it’s a bit duplicative in the name of convenience, but for households that conduct themselves a bit more on the green side, LG proudly steps in with its THINQ series.  Its “Smart Grid” system syncs the fridge, oven, washer, dryer and even vacuum cleaner with your smartphone, helping you use your appliances in the most cost-effective and energy-efficient ways  possible.  We’re sure George and Judy would be quite comfortable in any home where these little luxuries reside.

These 6 Modern Massage Recliners Take the Stress Away

Ask any expert to list the benefits of massage therapy, and you’ve got quite a lengthy conversation on your hands.  For those of us who don’t have the time to schedule appointments at the spa, there’s a singular solution much closer to home.  Today’s roundup of modern massage recliners presents a half-dozen self-contained relaxation stations where you can work, read, watch television and/or hold full-fledged conversations, all the while enjoying the sensation of having your stress kneaded away.  While each has the appearance of soft, supple leather upholstery, a few offer animal-friendly coverings for those who prefer alternative upholstery options.  Either way, the massage capabilities (and, in one case, heat therapy) offered in this collection are enough to lower blood pressure, ease joint pain and put us all in a better frame of mind altogether… bathrobe and cucumber water optional.

iPoo Toilet For Real Apple Fans

Guys, if you are iFans, then you’ll love it. iPoo Toilet by Milos Paripovic is for Apple fans, a little bit sarcastic. It’s a prestigious designer toilet, there is no lack of style and taste. As the designer jokes – it’s compatible with iPod, iPad 3, iPhone 5 and MacBook Air. The material is the same as for these iProducts. The design reminds of an Apple logo, it’s cool and modern. It you put such a toilet in your house, it would show your sense of humor and of course it’s great, if you use a lot of iProducts and you can be with them everywhere –even in the toilet.
