The Silk Chair by Alvi Design
 Kira | Share:  |
This Silk chair which looks as really unique one was designed by Swedish designer Åsa Kärner of Alvi Design. The materials used are silk thread and oak. It makes this furniture environmental friendly. Silk threads are tightened around a bearing wooden frame. The idea of transparence creates new forms and focuses us on a perception of weightlessness. At the same time the light plays with the shadow through the silk frame in a wonderful manner. As we can see silk is not only suitable and stylish for dress material but it can also become a part of the impressive furniture for contemporary home design. This Silk chair is perfect for relaxing and it looks simultaneously simple and sophisticated.

If you’re going to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your beloved, we suggest starting with romantic decor. Thus, our goal is to turn an apartment or house in the love nest, where everything breathes of love and happiness… Red and pink colors, which are associated with this holiday, will help us. Its better to choose silk bedding, curtains and lots of soft cushions to create the necessary atmosphere. And, of course, no one has canceled the traditional rose petals. An interesting solution may be a vinyl wall sticker with the theme of Valentine’s Day. And of course, hearts and colorful confetti, red, pink and white candles, chocolates and sweets are still relevant. We wish you happiness, love and a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
