Hello,

Thanks for your research. Meantime, it has a design close to this chair (Coconut Chair), but this is not the same actually.

The kitchen is from Boffi.

Thanks for helping.

Guy 

Hello,

Finally, I got it.

This is the "Bloom" chair from Living Divani

Design by Giorgio Cazzaniga

Guy 

Guy, Can you actually sit in that?

Andy T.

Lovely chair Guy but like the coconut it is definitely one for use as a showpiece but I would prefer the coconut all day long, which is a masterpiece in furniture design.

Are you thinking of buying one?

Hi Andy, Actually, I don't know as I never had the opportunity to sit in the Bloom chair. But it seems Beocool had a difficult experience with that

Hi Mobeyone,

I like too the Herman Miller's Coconut chair, it's a timeless piece of design. I like the furnitures that belong to the Bauhaus era.

In fact, I am not going to buy one immediately, due to the fact that i am on my way to save hard for the Ile Sofa from Living Divani. I am expecting to make it in eleven months maxi.

..... Guy might think I'm boring but I love our Barcelona chairs.

Not at all Henry

I love too the Barcelona chair, in black aniline leather. I was studying the price of a replica from Steelform (1200 euros) compare to the Knoll one (up to 4000 euros).

I always liked very much some productions belonging to the Bauhaus era.

Cheers,

Guy 

Henry:

I have two black Barcelona's and a white one. I never knew there were replicas though. Can you tell them apart from the real ones?

Guy;

Have your ever seen the interior furniture B & O used to make ?

Have your ever seen the interior furniture B & O used to make ?

Hello,

I had during my trip to Struer (last april 2007), the opportunity to sit on an B&O chair. That was in the Listening Room :

I may be wrong, but back in 1998 in my former B&O store, the manager had one of these, but in black color. I heard the price was around 1500 euros per unit (need to be confirmed).

I was wondering if B&O brought in his Beoliving-room some of his own furnitures, during our visit in Struer too :

You can have a look in different angles of the Beoliving room. Many contemporary designed furnitures lay there.

By the way, who makes the floor lamp ? It seems to be from some Fontana Arte products, but I am not sure.

In my opinion, I will stay with brands such as MDF Italia, Cassina, LucePlan, Living divani, etc. and mix with some B&O ones.
Cheers,

Guy 

Good photos from Struer !

Not sure on the floor lamp: it looks like a Spun Lamp, by Sebastian Wrong-FIOS, but the stand is different.

Hi everybody,

Here is the new Nimbo Lamp from Pallucco and designed by Studio Lagranja :

Nimbo for Pallucco.
Designer: Studio Lagranja
Year: 2008

 

The pendant version gives the impression of floating in a world without gravity and, like the wall/ceiling model, is enhanced by a dual light source: the light given off from the front is pure, soft and white while at the back it is coloured and atmospheric.
It comes in opaline white, magenta and orange.

Nimbo combines both the weft and warp of light and its commanding presence sets the tone in any room.

Guy

We have many different brands in our home, but mostly Italian and German, like Molteni, Cor, De Sede, Draenert, Verardo.

My favorite piece is the Sinus chair from Cor, a design classic from 1976.

I agree, those are the icons of Bahaus design (Charles Eames, Le Corbusier, Eileen Gray, etc.) , like the Barcelona chairs for example.

Guy

Beside B&O, this is a subject I'm really interested!

So let's see what I got so far:

- 2 Wassily Chairs by Marcel Breuer

- 6 Series 7 chairs by Arne Jacobsen

- 1 Tulip armchair by Eero Saarinen

- 1 Tolomeo Tavolo lamp by Michelle de Lucchi [Artemide]

-  2 Tizio lamps by Richard Sapper [Artemide]

- 1 Juicy Salif by Philippe Starck

I'll update the list as I intend to buy some new pieces in the near future!

Hello Jmarcedo,

What a beautiful collection you have. I wish you could send a picture to us and let us have a great look at your home furnitures.

Guy

We moved to a bigger apartment this summer and ordered a pair of armchairs and a sofa. The sofa hasn't arrived yet, but the armchairs are called Jetson and have been designed by Bruno Mathsson.

I think they not only look great, but are also very comfortable. The sofa's coming tomorrow. 

Hello,

This WE, I have ordered my Ile Sofa, designed by Piero Lissoni, for Living Divani (in black Florence Leather) :

(Only the left part as it cost the price of a BS5... The right part called "la méridienne"  will come in 2010 I think)

It will take close to 6-8 weeks to be built in Italy and less than 1 one week to be delivered at my home, in France.

I am very pleased due to the fact that I was waiting during two years for this moment.

Guy

Guy, I love the sofa. What a great place to hang out and watch a movie.

Jonnie

Thanks Jonnie,

On each side of the Ile Sofa, there will be the BL4000 as for the "rear".

Guy

Superb. Must see some pics when it is set up??
