Furniture Feature – Slobproof!

Posted on December 7, 2015 | Leave a comment

We love finding great furniture for apartments, townhouses and homes, especially when it’s American Made! Slobproof! is a great find. It’s name derives from the furniture construction and materials that make it almost indestructible. Slobproof furniture fabrics are designed to be stain resistant, moisture resistant, odor-proof and anti-microbial and are guaranteed for five years.

We love the Groove Sectional in this warm tan color. $3,999

The Daisy Lounge is another cool favorite. $1,799
Slobproof furniture comes in many fabrics and color choices as well as patterns.

The Lucy Chair looks great. $1,399

The perfect apartment starter. Step one with your new apartment living room – find the perfect sofa and we’ve found a great one. The Hackney Sofa by Wrong For Hay has a wood frame and foam stuffing and magically breaks down and packs flat when you are moving. Awesome when navigating a tight doorway or stairwell. Love this one. $3,397

Art and Furniture Meet: Francois Bauchet

Posted on April 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

French designer Francois Bauchet has linked art expression with furniture design in awe inspiring ways. He is best know for the Yang Sofa, often called the puzzle sofa.

“When I was young, I was always fascinated with how things fitted together – from clothes to toys, furniture, buildings, everything.” – Francois Bauchet

I love also the Pluriel furniture collection, especially this sofa in my ever fave color: chartreuse!

“When I started I was very influenced by minimal art in the USA and really felt a need to communicate – that for me was by provoking rather than presenting something very ordinary that people wouldn’t really look. I still wanted my designs to be practical and answer people’s needs but I wanted people to have an emotional connection with them also.” – Francois Bauchet

Francois Bauchet lives in Paris and teaches at the School of Fine Art in Saint Etienne. The Yang and Pluriel Sofa systems were designed for Ligne Roset.
