The fluid shaping of this armchair is achieved with the use of rotationally molded polyethylene - a recyclable material, suitable for outdoor use. Designed by Orlandini & Radice and made in Italy by our good friends at Domitalia , the Phantom mimics draped upholstery in its ethereal silhouette. Would-be legs are hidden behind surface folds that fall from the arms and seat to the floor, making Phantom appear to be legless or floating. And get this... it lights up! Available in translucent illuminated white and various non illuminated colors!

John Costanza is a local sculptor who explores, invents and experiments with simple cubes, cylinders, or rectangles made of porcelain or vitrified stoneware. The surface of the forms are generally finished with ceramic oxides, glazes, or polychromed lacquer, and some are fused with metal, glass, or stone fragments. How great would these look combined with modern furniture! John will be one of the artists in The incredible Dane Decor Arts Event coming to our Downingtown showroom September 8 from 3-8:00 pm. See you there!

We love simple, clean design and this is as simple and clean as it gets. David Mayhew found the shape in a whale’s tail disappearing into the depths, and donates a part of the profit to the Save the Whales foundation . The handcrafted wooden tongs in jamjuree wood are suited to serving salads and other foods, and won the Tasmanian Design Award in 2006. Whale Tongs are made with a magnetic hinge that makes them easy to separate for cleaning. Use them as a pair of serving tongs or as a salad set.

One of our favorite companies, BODUM , was founded in 1944 in Copenhagen, Denmark by Peter Bodum. Their fantastic array of products pay tribute to functionality, quality and affordability. Concepts we strive for as well.

Making smart decisions about materials and smart design has always been the primary objective for dane decor. We found this cool company called Modern-Shed that shares our mission. They create efficient and ecologically sound prefabricated buildings. When Ryan Grey Smith and his wife, Ahna Holder bought their Seattle home in 1998, it didn’t have a garage, a basement or an attic. Both having backgrounds in architecture, the 1940’s era homes inadequacies were simple enough to solve, they built a shed. In 2005, Modern-Shed was born. Modern-Shed has redefined the word ‘shed’. Making ‘shed’ less like a typical garden shed and more like a chic outdoor room of the house, a hideaway for playing, working and relaxing. We can just envision one custom fitted with a cozy, leather Hans chair!

This Londji piggy bank , created by a team young illustrators & designers it is not like any other: The illustration-collage is made of of solid recycled cardboard, you can assemble it without glue, It is flat, can be taken apart, you can put it away into its rigid cardboard box, and the most important, it kindly looks after any type of coins for your little caprices. Very green. Very pink.

We love functional, clean, pure design. How about revolutionizing the simple toothbrush? No disposable cups to buy or throw away.  No glass to wash or take up counter space.  No changing hands to cup water.  And, no more putting your head in the sink.   Just aim the fountain where you want the water to be.  Thanks Amron Experimental! For fun, functional furniture stop by one of our showrooms . It's a great half day excursion!
