Makastool, la seduta a forma di macaron

Do  you know the famous macarons? These colorful French sweets  inspired the Makastool, the fun stools born from the intuition of Li-Ving, the design studio founded by Antonio Lauriola, Nicola Troiano and Vito Vero.
When I saw for the first time Makastool, I immediately thought to dedicate it a post and so, I discovered that behind this cute colored stool, there is a complete design studio that deals with the creation, implementation and sale of handcrafted self-produced design pieces of furniture .
Makastool are available in two different heights and in different shades: purple, chocolate, lime green, blue, lemon yellow ...
The Makastool are completely handcrafted in all its components, from the legs in ash to the seat covered in leather or microfibre.
And you which Makastool choose? Chocolate, pistachio, violet, vanilla!

Avete presente i rinomati macarons? Questi colorati dolcetti francesi hanno ispirato i Makastool,  le divertenti sedute nate dall'intuizione di Li-Ving

A medieval king and queen in your home

Hello my dear design lovers! Do you remember the legend of the Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur with his beloved Queen Guinevere? The designer Charles Bargagna was inspired by this famous story to create the nice tables Arthur and Guinevere for Officinanove. Arthur is slightly higher than Guinevere and the profile of its base remind the king of chess piece while the base of Guinevere reminds the queen. Arthur looks at its best when it's accompanied by his beloved Geneva, preferably of a different color. Both tables are created by assembling two plates coated steel shaped to create the base and the table top and can be used both as a table next to a armchair or a sofa in the living area and both as a nightstand in the bedroom . 

So original and colorful, do not you think they are a good couple?

Buongiorno miei cari design lovers! Vi ricordate la leggenda dei Cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda e di re Artù con la sua amata regina Ginevra?

Assymetry in a table

My dear design lovers today we are in the presence of a Good Design Award Chicago Atheneaum. N7 is the table of the designer Norayr Khachatryan for Casamania. N7 is a table of the challenging and determined construction. The complexity of its structure is given by the faceted and asymmetric shapes and the technique of bending the sheet of aluminum. Its design, inspired by military language, combines sobriety and functionality. N7 is a table suitable for both the living room of a home or an office and always gives  the sophistication and rigor that characterize it.

My dear chaise long

The best piece of furniture of the home: the chaise long. The only one which alone in a room is able to full it completely. Probably you have already understood how I adore this item! Try to imagine a huge room, with light painted walls, a small table with some of your favourite books on and in the middle only your beloved chaise long. What a fantastic place for relaxing! The chaise long is one of the most loved pieces by designers in all the times, in fact we can already find it in the ancient time and then after different trasformations, it has arrived until today.
Landscape 05 is the name of our chaise long that I show you today, it is projected by the designer Jeffrey Bernett for B&B Italia. Its sinuous and light shape wrap who sit in it in a big hug and its magnetic headrest is positionable where we prefer.
My design lovers, finally the week is almost finished so have a nice weekend! What are you going to do? I hope to find many interesting pieces to show you next week on Mad about Design!

Turn on the light

Probably it's the first thing we see every morning when we wake up and turn on the ligth: the table lamp. Modern or classical, big or small, our table lamp is strictly personal and it shows much of our personality. I took months in order to choose mine. Today I would like to show you a very curious table lamp: Mr Light by the designer Javier Mariscal for Nemo Cassina. It's a real gentleman who can lift up its hat for say hello to you. Its white head is the lighting body and the hat and pedestal are in glossy black metal. Doesn't it look so nice?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

"Mirror, mirror on the wall..." said a famous devil queen, but probably if she had had this beautiful mirror, she would have been nicer and less nervous.
The mirror is a piece of furniture really versatile, in fact you can put it in different rooms of your home like living room, hall, bathroom and also bedroom. It fits always good and it embellishes the place.
The mirror I choose is Tab.u Mirror by Bruno Rainaldi for Opionciatti. Its frame in hand creased alluminium is amazing. I adore it very much because of its originality and elegance.
What do you think about it?
