Furniture Design: Big Table by Alain Gilles for Bonaldo

What a beautiful table design by Alain Gilles, the Big Table for Bonaldo. "2009 Good Design Award", awarded by the Chicago Architecture and Design Museum (USA). What a great design! I wrote earlieMORE BLOGS about this interesting designer. 
It has been sculpted in 3D by the hand rather than by the pure logic of the computer. Even though it is a large functional table and follows some strict rules, all the legs have their own characteristics. They have been positioned and oriented manually in order to give the whole structure a warmer and more human feeling. 

Thank you for reading this blogpost.

Bath ideas: 4 statement bathtubs for a blissful soak

 Would like to share with you today some bath ideas for a blissful soak like this egg-shaped bath in gray, a beautiful white bathtub, a Piet Boon’s freestanding bath for Cocoon and last but least a colourful soft pink bathtub. Be Inspired .......... Earlier I wrote more blogs about Bathrooms, SEE HERE

1. Make a splash with an egg-shaped bath
Accentuate the silhouette of a modern egg-shaped bath by setting it against a contrasting backdrop, like this botanical print wallpaper. Treat the surface with a protective sealant.

2. Introduce calm symmetry with this beautiful white bathtub

3. Take an old meets new approach by Piet Boon
Classic marble bathroom ideas may be centuries old, but this versatile material can feel just as relevant in a contemporary setting. Carved from a solid piece of Carrara marble, the crisp, modern lines of Piet Boon’s freestanding bath for Cocoon is a case in point. Shown here on polished concrete flooring with a neutral backdrop, the designer’s signature clean lines truly celebrate Carrara’s gentle veining.
