They founded this line of eco-friendly luxury furniture in 2004, and have been receiving rave reviews ever since for their beautiful modern home decor. Each of their pieces is handcrafted from reclaimed or upcycled metal and wood in their Brooklyn studio.

If you're looking to give your home a bit of an update, it's easy to look in showrooms and catalogs and decide you want it all. Paying for it all, however, is a little more difficult for most of us.

Maxalto opens today in Chicago

Posted Jun 6th 2008 at 5:22PM by Michael Cohen

Filed under: Haute Home




You probably know about B&B Italia. But have you heard about Maxalto? It might lack in name recognition, but for 25 years, Maxalto has been renown as a woodworking specialist, operating under the B&B umbrella. The collection still features expertly worked woods as beds, sofas, chairs, tables and more.

Now, MaxAlto's first, domestic, freestanding boutique is ready to open in Chicago's Riven North neighborhood, at 309 West Superior Street, next to Luminaire, where the collection has been represented for two decades.

Antonio Citterio oversees Maxalto, drawing inspiration from French designs of the 1920's through the 1940's. Anyone in Chicago would be wise to stop by, maybe even check the launch party tonight for a cocktail and gear up for Neocon 2008.

Bellini & Bellini (and Bellini)

Posted Jun 6th 2008 at 3:19PM by Michael Cohen

Filed under: Haute Home



Similar isn't always the same. Consider Mario Bellini's chairs for Cassina and Heller. Similar shape, similar style, but completely different feel. The main, noticeable differences are found in the finish and material. The original Bellini Chair, like it's subsequent updates for Heller, is a single cast of plastic, an injection mold. UltraBellini comes in a high gloss, and BelliniTouch features a matte, charcoal finish.

Then, look at Bellini's Bull Chair for Cassina. Instead of plastic, the frame is enameled steel, covered by leather. It's essentially the same chair in terms of the shape but actually an entirely different experience and aesthetic. It's a tactile sensation that's much more noticeable in person. Comparing to fashion, Marc Jacobs makes a trench coat in his own collection and an trench coat for Louis Vuitton. Is one better than the other? In this case, one could say they're equally great.

Could you live at IKEA?

Posted Jan 9th 2008 at 2:22PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Haute Home, Events: On the Scene, Stores We Love, Videos



When you're looking for affordable, stylish furniture for your home, apartment, dorm room -- wherever really -- IKEA is your store. They've managed to bring fun modern styles to all of us who can't afford to drop $5,000 on a designer kitchen table. But even if you're totally obsessed with the store's streamlined solutions for modern living, you wouldn't want to live there -- right?

Probably not, unless you're this guy. Mark Malkoff was having his apartment fumigated, which meant he needed to find a place to stay -- bummer. He's a comedian and filmmaker, and all his starving artist friends didn't have room in their tiny studio apartments for a guest. Instead of blowing money on a hotel, Mark had a novel idea -- why not just stay in one of those display apartments in the local IKEA?

Seems crazy, but for some reason, the store actually agreed to let Mark take up residence in their New York location. He lives on the shop floor, eats all his meals at the cafeteria (hooray, Swedish meatballs!), and showers in the back offices.

The best part is that if you'll be New York this week, you can actually visit Mark. He'll be at IKEA through January 12th (after which he'll be heading home to his apartment). Everyone else can check back on Mark's website for daily videos about what life is like instead the home style mega store.

Duo ottoman bed keeps your small space sleek

Posted Aug 29th 2007 at 11:31AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Haute Home

deuo ottoman bed
Really, now. You graduated from college over 10 years ago and you're still hanging onto that crumbling piece of foam on a rickety frame aka a futon?

While I understand the practicality of a futon (I have never in my life, ever appreciated a futon) because it's cheap, it can be used as a bed, and well, it's cheap, it's time to upgrade to something sleeker and a little more "adult." The Duo from Apt-NY looks like an ottoman when it's folded up and covered, but when you remove the "dress," it unfolds into a sleeping mat! Granted, it's not as comfortable for an overnight guest as say, your bed, but it's definitely better than that dying futon.

The Duo is $298 and comes in 10 colors.

Glowing chair reveals your true weight

Posted Aug 18th 2007 at 2:02PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Haute Home

Changes color depending on your weightThis chair looks like something you'd see in those too-cool-for-school clubs that cater to people who wish their lives were more like liquor commercials. Just looking at makes me want to give some girl a flirty look, whisper something sexy in her ear, then casually remove the glass of Captain Morgan from her hand and drink it with a wry grin.

Clubs like this are stupid, and, chances are, you'd look stupid if you put this chair in your house.

But it does have a very interesting feature that might just make it worthwhile. The chair actually changes colors as it interacts with people -- becoming a darker shade of red depending on the weight of whoever is sitting on it.

I love that the mood of a party could be constantly shifting based on who's sitting or standing. However, the obvious drawback is that most people would be too nervous to use the chair, for fear that it'd turn dark red and draw attention to their weight -- so make sure you have confident friends before buying a few for your funky modern pad.

Design store Moss opens in LA

Posted Aug 15th 2007 at 9:48PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Haute Home, Stores We Love

moss in LA
If you're a design and decor freak and you happen to live in Los Angeles, you'll be happy to know that the NYC-based Moss has made its way out here. The new store opened last week at 8444 Melrose Avenue at North Croft.

Not familiar with Moss? To get a feel for what kind of cool, beautifully and well-designed stuff they have, pop on over to their online store at www.mossonline.com and browse through their stuff, like a spherical copper lamp shade for $545. It's not just lighting and furniture either. They have gadgets, things for the kitchen and tabletop, and even books.

Interactive twinkling light coffee table

Posted Aug 1st 2007 at 3:49PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Haute Home

LED lights glow when you move over themAt first, the idea of a table embedded with hundreds of glowing lights sounds tacky -- like bright, blinking Christmas decorations, a lamp shaped like a body part, or any other gimmicky piece of modern furniture.

But if the photos are any indication, this LED table seems surprisingly tasteful.

And the best part is that it's interactive. When there's nothing on the table, the lights dimly twinkle, but they become brighter when they sense motion. So, when you move your arm over the table, the lights underneath that arm become brighter (like in the photo).

This might seem a little out of place if you're design aesthetic is based on the "rustic" look, but if you're a fan of the modern home, the table could be an incredibly cute touch.

The only drawback is the price. At $2,800, those twinkling lights would have to be really worth it.
