| 3 Commentaries

I’m thinking about interesting pieces for the patio today. Care to join me in my day dreaming?

This egg hub would be an awesome poolside addition:

This bench with canopy would be great on my deck:

This fun folding director’s chair is super for small spaces:

This chaise (with added cushion) would be great for naps:

And this peacock chair is perfect for when you really want to feel fancy:

So, tell me, what’s your perch of choice in the summertime?

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Design: Peacock Chair by UUfie & Dupont Corian

| 6 Commentaries

Now – is this a chair, or is this a chair?

The Peacock chair is the result of a collaboration between UUfie architectural firm and DuPont Corian (yes, as in the countertop material) which was completed for IDS 2012. If you can believe it, the Peacock is made from a single sheet of DuPont Corian which has been cut, bent and folded through a process of thermoforming (sounds like quite a process, right?).

If you want to see the Peacock chair up close, be sure to get yourself to IDS this weekend.

Have you tried out the Etsy Taste Test? I just had a go and the results are pretty cool. Have a look at some of the items that came up in my Taste Test search.

Mid-century wingback chair, $1100, Bohemiennes

Industrial factory stool, $265, French By Design

Set of Jen Risom dining chairs, $650, En Route Studio

California Originals Pottery, $42, Barking Sands Vintage

Look at all of this white! And I didn’t even choose any white objects during the search process. Crazy, right? Somehow Etsy just knew…
