2013-03-16T04:44:35Z

These dining tables and chairs from Girsberger will satisfy your style cravings, no matter what your tastes. But these sophisticated table designs are not just for the dining room. Coupled with some creative seating, they are easily transformed from formal and casual entertainment areas, to office desks and boardroom tables that are sure to impress your clients and co-workers. But no matter what you use them for, or where, these tables always make a fabulous focal point. Here are 5 dining tables with benches and chairs that are sure to inspire your room designs: Modern Organic - Authentic table with contrasting contemporary chairs

The Authentic solid wood table brings a touch of refinement to raw nature. The tabletop consists of two solid heartwood slabs, mirroring each other in grain and in shape for a beautifully balanced design. The two blocks boast an organic shape that, when placed side by side, leaves an open gap in between, highlighting this table's natural allure. This earthy tabletop is in stark contrast to the base - perfectly straight legs with man-made right angles of polished steel. Coupled with contemporary Lynn chairs and the Permesso bench, each echoing the table's gleaming base, this dining room gets a deliciously modern makeover. Office Chic - Onda wood table and Yara WL swivel seats

Placed in your office or studio space, the Onda table makes a creative statement. This table features a solid wood rectangular or elliptical top, perched on sculpted steel legs with an industrial edge. For a pop of color, couple this cool table with the Yara WL sculpted bucket swivel seats set on a wooden frame with integrated armrests, in this vibrant red hue (also available in bold black). Warm meets cool - Nur table with Permesso bench

The Nur table is a perfect example of how you can go from the dining room to the boardroom with a simple seat switch-up. This warm yet modern tabletop is made from a tree trunk, boasting its natural grain and rough, unrefined sides. An inlaid stainless steel center and concrete base give it a cool edge. Here, this chic table is coupled with contemporary dining chairs and the Permesso bench finished in sophisticated black leather, to accommodate lots of family and friends. When paired with individual chairs and placed in a stark setting, this table is all business. Minimalist Max table with awesome bench seating

The Max table is a minimal design that gets seriously spiced up with the addition of the contemporary Adesso benches. This panel-leg table is straight-lined and simple, boasting a rectangular wood top and base. The benches are both slightly different, but cohesive in their style, featuring extra deep seats, and one outfitted with a bent backrest. The benches' mossy hue stands out with earthy appeal that complements the natural wood finish of the table in this understated, neutral space. Trio of Xeno - Coordinating table and seating with a slant

The slightly slanted frames of the Xeno table, bench and chair designs make it clear that these contemporary pieces are cut from the same cloth (or, at least part of the same collection). The table features a cross-shaped base with a wide rectangular top, offering plenty of surface for dining, entertaining or working, and lots of legroom underneath. The Xeno bench is bold, fully upholstered in black leather and boasting inwardly angled backrest and base. The Xeno chairs are a comfortable in-between with a wood frame, slanted back legs, a backrest that doubles as armrests, and chic leather upholstery.

Exterior Like Interiors: Cozy Urban Home in Sao Paolo

2013-02-16T05:02:18Z

We love the innovative, outdoor vibe of this unusual "inside out" house designed by Brazil's Terra e Tuma Arquitetos Associados. Maracana House located in Sao Paolo's urban jungle puts what are typically considered to be exterior elements indoors, like exposed brick walls and a balcony overhead. The main living area is a two-storey space featuring an open layout and enclosed in this light colored brick, overlooked by a curious loft area with a casual, industrial appeal. The upper tier and the staircase leading up to it are bordered in a chain-link fence that makes you feel like you're out in the yard. Completing the outside-in look and feel, an atrium borrows a corner of this main floor living area with trees and leafy foliage, for a fresh, outdoorsy appeal. The open back wall of the atrium lets the warm sunlight stream in. A floor-to-ceiling sliding glass wall opens to the city streets. A true alfresco living and lounging area is complete with a garden and a hammock for kicking back under an open sky. Terra e Tuma Arquitetos Associados

Nautical Themed Living Room Idea by Roche Bobois

2013-02-14T03:56:07Z

Dressed by Jean Paul Gaultier in classically cool Sailor collection fabrics, the Mah Jong modular sofa from Roche Bobois brings a nautical theme to your living room. Boasting a casual blue, white and red motif of solids, stripes and spots, this sea-inspired style adds an air of carefree getaway to your everyday. The casual fabrics complement the sofa's laissez-faire form of low-profile, large scale cushions that invite you to kick back and relax. In the wake of Roche Bobois' Couture Furniture, this modular design has different parts which can be combined to suit any space, large or small. Choose from straight-back and corner-back cushions, or leave the back ashore and opt for some stand-alone seats that can do double-duty as additional surfaces. Combine these pieces into one massive sitting area, or detach them for coordinating yet separate seats throughout your space. Upholstered in different versions of this nautical palette, the look is cohesive yet visually exciting. Check out the Mah Jong modular sofa by visiting Roche Bobois.

What is the top living room essential of 2013? Comfort, and Roche Bobois does it with real panache! After all, who wants to feel like they're living in a museum? We love the inviting, eclectic look of this living room by Roche Bobois - a true master at delivering casual comfort coupled with contemporary style. Case in point - the Mah Jong modular sofa. This colorful and cozy collection has a casual look and feel, and its modular components can be arranged as desired, to suit any space, any seating set-up. Upholstered in a variety of Missoni Home fabrics, the look is eclectic yet cohesive. This casual seating collection is perfectly complemented by this rustic Staircase Wall Unit, which gives your bits and bobs a good home - out of sight but easily on hand. We love the "pieced together" look, combining small square drawers with large ones, shelves, wood and glass. The leather handles are a nice, informal detail to complement the waxed wood finish. Choose from 6 elements to build the perfect storage system. Underfoot, the Domino Rug completes the look with a splash of color.

2013-02-08T03:19:56Z

We love the vacation vibe in this exotic bedroom design by Roche Bobois. From floor to ceiling, this space inspires a laid-back mood perfect for a bedroom getaway. Underfoot, an interesting floor design features natural-finish wood planks arranged in perpendicular patterns. Exposed concrete walls lend this room a slightly industrial style, keeping with the casual overall aesthetic. Overhead, exposed wood beams add rustic warmth and interest. And like any truly worthy getaway, the focal point in this bedroom is a dream! We fell in love with the Mah Jong bed, from Roche Bobois` new 2013 collection. This bright, Bohemian-style bed designed by Hans Hopfer and Marco Fumagalli features a low-rider base upholstered in cool seafoam fabric and complemented by the cushion-style headboard with a slept-in look that looks more inviting than messy. An ultra-modern side table in aqua, and a futuristic yellow fireplace are functional art on display. For additional info, visit Roche Bobois. Photo credit: Michel Gibert
