crude aluminum sheet side tables by lehni


tris light by martinelli luce, italy. satin blown glass, screens in silver lacquered aluminum.


topiary collection by richard schultz. you must check his website out. fabulous outdoor collection.



zero-in low table by established and sons, london. a metal bodied glass topped table.


aluna sideboard from nut & grat


haiku wardrobe also by lehni. large, roomy and lightweight.


"part" tables by b&b italia. aluminum folded as if it were origami. treated with a soft-touch paint helps give shape to the "part" table.


"s7" by schoenbuch, germany. with cool elegance these "floating boards" are dominated by right angles, lengths and purely geometrical in design.


paraflex screen by seledue. very cool room divider for home or office, you can attach mirrors like shown, shelves, rods to hang clothes, the list is endless.

sorry for the late post but it's been a crazy couple of days, picked up a new car, school, work and life, well you all know...anyway as you may or may not realize at this point i absolutely love texture in design and i do love the relationship between metal and other fabrics and materials such as wood, paint, etc. i happened upon a bunch of companies that produce some fabulous products using aluminum and thought i'd share. each piece will have a link to their company if you'd like to research further. i love the polished, brushed smooth appearance and coolness of aluminum and other metals for that matter. powder-coated, painted or left raw and to it's own devices aluminum accents any piece it accompanies, gives it weight, line and design. great companies to eyeball!
