While I do like its design, especially the lightness you've pointed out, I cannot help but think that the cushion would be pushed into that "crack" while you're sleeping, making it quite uncomfortable, not to mention annoying, when you would have to set it back all night. I used to have a bed without a headrest and no wall behind it and it drove me crazy.

That said, I still haven't found a bed I would actually like to own - I had mine custom made. It is basically a simple wooden frame, painted in white and put on four legs that are positioned towards the middle. The whole frame is a couple of centimetres shorter than the mattress on each side, so that when you look at it, depending on the angle, you either see a floating mattress or ( if you are really short or far away ) a mattress with legs.

Hi Gorissek,

Thanks for your input.

What do you mean by "crack". Do we need to replace the matress on the bed most of the time during the night with that kind od bed ?

By the way, can we see some picture of your customized bed ?

Guy

No, I didn't mean the mattress, but this part on the photo below. To me it just looks like the pillow would be pushed back towards the headrest and then down in there during sleep. Or maybe that's just me : )

As for the photo, I will take it ( and of B&O beside it, too ) as soon as my new Leica arrives. Are the galleries fully working now?

Yes, you are right, I did not mention that point before you mentionned it.

As for the galleries, I guess yes. If not you should make a report to the moderating team. Meantime, I would be pleased to see your nice customized bed.

Cheers,

Guy

Hello,

In this picture, do you know the reference (brand, designer) of the coffee table (with the Beo4 on it), on the right of the Charles & Eames's La Chaise ?

In this second picture, do you know the reference (brand, designer) of the coffee table (with the Beo4 on it) ?

It looks like the asnago vender coffee table from Pallucco, bit it's not the same one.

Thanks for your reply,

Cheers,

Guy

The table in the first photo looks a lot like Vitra's Occasional Table LTR by Charles & Ray Eames. But they don't make it in red ( anymore? ), so I could be wrong.

Yes, you are right about the Charles and Ray Eames' LTR table :

Thanks !

Guy

Any idea regarding this coffee table ?

Who made it?

Thnaks for your help !

Has anyone found out who is this table? I love it too.

Another view of my living room.

The side board is temporaily there as I am on my way to replace it.

************************

22th of October 2010 : a newcomer, the BV10 46", bye bye old dear Avant TV ...

The BC6000 MK1 is replaced by the new one (including the beoline and its base without the red/green led).

Cheers,

Guy

Not sure if USM Haller was mentioned before, but I think they are a real fit with B&O. I hope to replace the BV3 with the new BV10 end of the year. Also I am looking for this wallcovering for the wall behind the TV (without the flowers indeed)

Concerning furniture, do someone knows about this (UK-based??) company : http://www.italianclassicsdirect.co.uk/home.php

They have unbelievable prices on classic furniture, so unbelievable that I doubt they are serious. I'm thinking of buying a pair of Arne Jacobsen Swan chairs, but the Fritz Hansen ones are simply too expensive for what it is... (at this price I prefer buying a second Smala coach from Pascal Mourge instead of just a chair!)

So, if someone has already bought something from this website, please let me know!

As far as I know the Italian law for interlectual property is different to other European countries, so that is the reason why the can offer these products as 1:1 copy of the "orginal" 

I own a Lounge Chair form Vitra (the edition in white, very cool...) and also the alu chair and I have seen such copies from dealers listed above at a friends house. The quality of the leather and the overall finish is very different. You get what you pay for....

I would not go for it.

mbee, just saw the you are interested in Ligne Roset furniture as well. I have purchased several items from them over the last 10 years and I must say that the quality is not in line with the pricing they ask for.

Have a closer look at the finish (especially the glossy white ones). Quite disapointing! Also my 3 year old sofa (Rive Gauche) looks like 10 years old. However, my 12 year old Multi in Alcantara looks like new!  

Ok concerning replicas, I will try to avoid them unless I find something really good in real life.

Concerning Ligne Roset, I have to say that it is one of the most known french furniture maker. I'm looking for the Smala and I have seen it aged many times : it seem to be of a very good build quality. I frequently meet the director of the french twin brand Cinna (which sells the Smala sofa in France), so next time I will try to know if they are aware of some quality issues with their products...

Hi everybody,

Here are the two new pendant lights that I have ordered. items should be at home in one month, the time it takes for them to be produced in Italy.

- Nimbo from Pallucco, 730mm :

- Pierce from Artemide :

I'll post some pictures soon xD

Cheers,

Guy

Hi everybody,

Finally, it took close to two months to get the ceiling lamps from Italy.

Here is the Nimbo celing lamp produced by Pallucco and behind the Pirce one made by Artemide :

The reflection shows the Costanza floor lamp produced by Luceplan. Behind is the ceiling lamp Nimbo by Pallucco :

More pictures to come in the daylight especially for the ceiling lamp "Pirce" - Artemide :

On the Cassina Artico table, on the left is the Costanzina Luceplan table light. On the right we can see the Emilio Robba False flowers composition :

Sorry for the poor quality, iPhone 3GS is only 3mx.

Hi dear beofans,

Here is some new pictures regarding designed cushions. That Ile (by Living Divani) sofa looks nicer with appropriate cushions.

I went to Lelièvre Paris, 4 rue de Furstenberg, in 75006 Paris to get those cushions.

Cushions are made with modern mixed fabrics.

Cheers,

Guy

Eahm, I have to admit that all of you have a wonderful tast for furniture!

Thank you very much for that many ideas and impressions!

I'm looking for a desk/table (for Mac PC) that can stand free on the floor, and not up against the wall!

Hei Folks

didn't know that the beoforum also served as an introduction to modern furniture European Style.

My interest in this area is related to B&O specifically to the BV10-40.

To stow away the equiment, and given the locations constraints I am looking for something that fits the following description:

1. 120-130cm long, height 35cm, depth 35-40cm

2. should be closed but need to get access to IR RC, back can be open for heat dissipation and cabling.

are there some good ideas about such a lowboard floating around in the community?

thanks all in advance

Just thought I'd let you know there is a really nice shop just opened in Leicester which sells loads of mid century modern furniture, and lighting. Stuff like

Mies Van Der Rohe

Le Corbuiser

Eames

Panton

Breuer

Eero Aarnio

etc

It's all repro stuff but great quality and pretty low cost!

The showroom is really nice if anyone is ever passing :)
