Wonderfully Weightless White Office is Magnificently Modern

Is it possible for a large piece of furniture to exude a sort of lighter-than-air quality? Designers Zsanett Benedek and Daniel Lakos wanted to find out, so they clad office furniture in a fresh white veneer.

The furniture used was Lakos’ original designs known as the Alba Collection. The shapes were already smooth, sleek and yes, even dreamy.

Dressing the furniture in bright white served to make it appear far more space-age and floaty. The effect is enhanced when the entire suite is placed in a room that is entirely white, head to foot.

According to the designers, the suite of office furniture is a look that is downright heavenly.  In an office otherwise decked out in white such as in these pictures, we would have to agree.

Rustic Materials + Modern Style = Sexy Matchstick Furniture

This suite of furniture from Tel Aviv design company Godspeed looks like matchsticks held together with string, but in a strikingly elegant way. According to the designers, this was the goal.

The collection, known appropriately as The Stick Collection, arose from a curiosity about the appropriateness of certain materials. Could “sticks” be used to make permanent and solid furnishings?

Constructed of something that looks like it came from someone’s back yard and held together with zip ties, the Stick Collection pieces look like they might simply tip over and fall apart if you are brave enough to sit on or balance your drink on one.

But despite their fragile appearances, these rustic-meets-modern furnishings have enough strength and more than enough style to deal with daily life.
