Gotta Love No. 60 - An Alternative to the Banquette



I'm loving this fantastic alternative to the banquette. Just like the designer handbag with its well-chosen embellishments adds to an outfit, the strap back fixed seating with its leather straps, buckles, and hardware adds to the seating in the area of our home or favorite restaurant that is our gathering place. 






The strap back fixed seating offers a solution to optimizing space in a fresh way. And the customization options are still as present as they are with banquette seating. I love how this alternative calls out to you to come take a seat and seems to promise a good visit. The perfect place to start your day.







Don't get me wrong, I love a good banquette, one that doesn't scream roadside diner, our foods amazing but excuse our benches. Whatever you do, do it with style and do it with comfort in mind. Make a meal an experience. 

 




Wall seating mixed with dining chairs on the opposite side allows a choice of seating that provides the guest the most comfort to their liking. The choice can come down to our mood at the time. Are we hunkering down with our latest read and the perfect cup of tea or are we grabbing a quick bite?




Just like any design element, be thoughtful in your decisions. You are creating an experience of living. Do have fun exploring strap back fixed seating!




Be inspired!

Gotta Love No. 36 - The Tulip Table






In 1956 Eero Saarinen, a Finnish American architect and industrial designer, introduced his Tulip Pedestal Table.  It was produced by Knoll and, along with his Tulip Collection of chairs, is still manufactured by them today.  A pure true classic for sure!



In describing his inspiration, Saarinen is quoted as saying, "the underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world.  I wanted to clear up the slum of legs."

In no irreverence to Saarinen, I love his Tulip Table best when mixed with a combination of leg styles. Not his vision, but an interpretation of design styles melded together to create a beautiful tribute to a classic, in a fresh way.


This room is divinely done to perfection.


Sleek, sleek, sleek!


Though the Tulip table can't be ignored it almost seems to disappear.




So "just right".


Bravery achieved!  Well done.


No matter the space - the dream of owning a classic can be achieved.


It holds its' own in this space, proudly.


Wonderful interpretation!



Classic skirted sofa, Chippendale side chairs, Tulip table = stunning!


No other table could pull this off!


Vicente, you get me every time!


Iconic!


Brilliant!
