From Milla Rezanova, comes the new “La Roche Chair” concept, with a shape that has the ability of making you stop for a minute and analyse it in detail. Sustained mostly by its outer “cloak”, the chair almost seems like it’s floating, making it hard for one to imagine it is actually stable and connected to the ground. Its look is not only interesting from the front, but no matter how you place it, there is something original to be discovered, whether it is a special angle, a line or just the mix of colours. With a refined elegance, it suits well in a classic, “black and white” interior, but also in a rebel one, personalizing the place, because, overall, it seems to have an identity of its own.

One piece of furniture trickery standing upright on only two legs, this pair of Shadow Chairs by British designer Chris Duffy seems to defy everything we knew about gravity. It looks like the lack of back legs is being substituted by the apparent black shadow that is part of the chairs metal frame and functions as its base. A creative composition that is made from walnut wood and steel, the Shadow Chairs retail for something close to $1,200, but there’s no assurance the average American won’t break it. However it does the job right in fooling your guests – at least for the first time. – Via
