Lydia Art and nature come together in this cool fish aquarium designed by glass-artist extraordinaire Vanessa Mitrani. These unusual decorative fish tanks are inspired by modern striking skyscraper architecture, featuring an ultra-modern long and lean vessel with a grid of “windows” running from top to bottom. Half-way down the tank, organic bubbles balloon this way and that, putting a natural spin on this contemporary piece. Available in three sizes (25, 35 and 45cm) these cool aquariums require no special care, just a soft sponge and water, and provide an environment in which bettas and killifish can thrive. But the look of this low-maintenance aquarium is totally high-end. Check out these decorative fish tanks at Vanessa Mitrani.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2009:/ultra-modern//7.3892 2009-10-24T00:23:19Z 2009-10-24T00:26:06Z

Vanessa Modern art furniture from Giovannetti is a lively addition to any modern home. Ring polyurethane furniture collection was designed as a homage to the great English master Henry Moore, ‘who changed the world of Modern Art’. The solidly-built stools and tables owe their surprising lightness to the clever integration of huge holes into the design. Opening up the stools and tables, the holes also serve as an ideal place to store small objects such as bags and magazines. Colourful and attractive, the Rig collection is also functional. Each piece of furniture from the collection incorporates a gas piston mechanism to set the required height. Rendered in rigid, structural polyurethane, the chairs and tables sit atop a chrome steel base. Lovers of modern art will enjoy the Ring collection in their home for many years to come – contact Giovannetti to find out more.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2009:/ultra-modern//7.3633 2009-07-09T21:03:29Z 2009-10-23T01:56:22Z

Vanessa You’d be forgiven for thinking that the Driade Armchair from the Out-In range by Philippe Starck is out of this world. It’s striking, unearthly appearance belies a wonderfully practical armchair, suitable for both inside and outside. A high backrest provides comfort. The chair stands solidly on four tapering legs. The generously sized seat creates a nest for the user, inviting them to curl up securely inside. Clean, uncomplicated lines characterise the Driade – and are typical of Philippe Starck’s designs. For this chair, he has teamed with Italian manufacturer Driade and Eugeni Quitllet. Made from adaptable high-end polyethylene, the Driade chair’s space-age metallic colour scheme is universal-neutral… meaning it will fit into any existing decor beautifully.

Vanessa There’s just no need for the functional to be boring – and the Rin Chair by Hiromichi Konno proves it. A smart moulded plastic chair from Fritz Hansen, the Rin chair would be at home in a range of situations around the house. It’s perfect for a home office or dining room… and would be a natural choice for a breakfast bar. The integrated cushion also makes it a comfortable choice. Rin chair makes a strong statement with a deliberate contrast between the predictable and the unpredictable. How? Well, the four-legged star shaped base is reassuringly stable and familiar. But the moulded seat shell features cut-outs that are less expected… each side has two absences, two voids. Rin chair is a paradox. Available in a range of solid, bright colours such as green or red, the Rin chair also looks sublime in black or white. Designed by Hiromichi Konno, from Fritz Hansen. ]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2009:/ultra-modern//7.3303 2009-04-06T23:51:25Z 2009-04-07T00:00:23Z

Vanessa When it comes to choosing an ultra-modern sofa, shape is everything. The Zanotta Club Sofa & Armchair by Prospero Rasulo (1010) demonstrate this with their iconic, innovative forms.

These sculptural seating options look great in vivid, vibrant hues such as the rich red of the armchair, and lively orange of the sofa, shown here.
