"The Chaise Longue CL 2 from the series Future Furniture is a striking, but simple piece of seating, which is both stable and comfortable. The original structure allows a simple exchange of upholstery, with choices including leather, twill and others. In addition, the double structure of the head and foot allows you to stow magazines, books, etc."

I love the vermicular undulating curves of this lounge chair by Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen for the Danish interior design company HAY.
Entitled “Blow”, the chair is made from polyurethan foam and is available in Grey, Army Green and Aubergine – one of my favourite colour palettes at the moment.

The Waters Edge Development is set at the heart of the Cotswold water park. Each of the homes offer completely unobstructed views from the large decks built directly over the lake.
The houses take cues from continental modernism, something still rare in the UK, with its stringent planning regulations (which somehow stop innovation under the pretext of making things in-keeping with the area, but allow the larger developers to fill the country with horrific mock Tudor and Georgian pastiche, built from plans that have probably been lying around since the late 70's)
The Cotswold Water Park is Britain's largest wetland nature reserve (It is man-made however, the lakes being former quarries)
While I personally think it is slightly disheartening that these are "second" homes, it's great to see contemporary house design being deployed on a slightly larger scale in the UK. One would hope this will help the case for individuals, architects and developers looking to build contemporary homes for family residence throughout the nation.

This modern Swiss home finished in 2007, is set amongst panoramic views of lake Walensse and the mountains of Churfürsten. The way the scenery is framed by the floor to ceiling glass is simply sublime. Set on beautiful sloping meadowland this beautiful modern house generates most of its own energy using photovoltaic panels on the roof and a modern stove.

Simple, sleek, modern and available in black or white colour options. Black is the colour to go for if you want to suggest luxury or expense (Or so studies tell us) and it certainly looks great here. It might be a touch masculine for some, but personally being a big fan of all things monochrome I love it.
This "Fly" washbasin is by GSG, you can view their range online at www.ceramicagsg.it
This marvelously delicate design fulfills all the criteria a fan needs to, while also giving that special touch to any room. It derives its ethereal form from the manner of its construction: Fabric is quite simply placed over a thin spring wire. In this way room for a bulb is created in the corpus. In line with its delicate frame the light is very soft and gentle. As a fan the design functions extremely well in dispelling air. The number of revolutions and the light are regulated by remote control.
