Glorious Natural Wood Zeen Collection

Zeen Collection

Zeen Collection

These exciting, practical and visually stunning chair and table have been designed and created by Oluf Lund and Eva Paarmann using beech wood with a veneer of walnut and olive ash top.

The Zeen collection is also manufactured by Oluf and Eva, they have used the natural beauty of the woods very effectively to create a design which would look great in any modern or contemporary home.

The great thing about furniture such as this collection is they way it would blend effortlessly into a room which has popular stripped floor boards and wooden blinds. Anyone who loves the beauty of natural wood will adore Zeen.

Pieces within the collection, such as the loungers, have sheepskin rugs to add additional comfort, however for me this somehow detracts from the beauty the wood brings to the pieces.

With unpretentious black stands and legs the pieces focus on practicality and modern living styles.

UpTown Blues Bar

UpTown Blues Bar

Designed by Xander Blue their range of contemporary furniture offers the use of traditional stained glass panels which have been transformed into a wide variety of different items of furniture. This bar is a great storage place for bottles and offers an ideal flat surface for serving drinks in a contemporary or modern interior design styled room.

As with traditional stained glass the best effects are see when natural or artificial lighting shines and filters through the colours from behind. The ideal place to place this bar would be in front of a window or by providing artificial lighting during the evening.

The combination of contemporary stainless steel supports for the glass panels adds additional light reflection, providing a sleek, beautiful and very practical item of modern furniture.
