NO LONGER JUST AN ANCIENT CHINESE PHILOSOPHY, the Yin Yang outdoor lounger, manufactured by DEDON, combines two opposite forms into one beautifully simple article of furniture. Alternatingly convex and concave, in both bronze- and platinum-colored fibers, it was created to appear as if formed by the natural elements, much like water-worn stones or wind-shaped sand dunes on the beach side.  Made of 4,000 meters (more than 13,123 feet, or over 36 football fields) of fiber, the Yin Yang lounger can be separated into two distinct and equally attractive pieces.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD SO MANY CLOTHES IN YOUR NIGHTSTAND that it was nearly bursting at the seams? Hopefully not. The Das Design Nighstand simulates that look with curved edges that mimic the look of expansion. Not only a visual element, the curved edges also allow the drawers to be opened from the side, making drawer handles unnecessary. Made of black walnut, all sides of the piece are identical, allowing it to viewed from any perspective. One look at this piece will leave you questioning the rigid lines of traditional furniture.

YOUR LIBRARY OF BOOKS CAN REVEAL A LOT ABOUT YOU. With Alfredo Häberli’s Pattern Bookshelf, guests will likely be less interested in the books themselves than on the shelves in which you store them. Composed of lacquered aluminum and available in either traffic white or satin silver, Häberli’s creation uses a series of irregular pentagons stacked upon each other to create an asymmetry uncommon in the stodgy, horizontal realm of storage. A warning to our librarian friends: Use of above furniture piece may lead to intensified palpitations of the heart.

NOW THIS PIECE IS SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, or with, as it were. Based on a conversation in which the designers wondered if they could create a furniture piece from a regular office object, the Pencil Bench by Boex 3D Creative Solutions takes the oxymoron out of corporate creativity. Composed of 1600 individually sprung pencils and a wooden base, the Pencil Bench may not get points for comfort but it more than makes up for it with ingenuity.

It is with great excitement that I write my first posting on PadStyle.  This is a blog that I’ve tracked closely for several months, ever since I entered the modern furniture space.

I greatly admire Si for what he has created and I hope that I can match his commitment as well as his writing ability. I thank Si very much for his help in transitioning ownership of PadStyle and wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Dear PadStyle Readers,

I am pleased to announce that I have found a new owner for PadStyle. His name is Nuno Andrade, and after many conversations with him I believe he is the one to continue PadStyle’s legacy as a quality decor inspiration blog.

Nuno is no stranger to the world of modern and contemporary decor, and actually is co-owner of Prime Furniture Source, a modern furniture store. He has expressed a sincere interest in continuing to provide quality content to PadStyle readers, and with Nuno’s own knowledge of the industry he will be able to provide more depth as well as breadth to this blog.

I therefore am proud to hand PadStyle’s mantle over to Nuno, and hope that you will welcome him with open arms.

Sincerely,
Si Lee
Outgoing Executive Editor, PadStyle
