German mathematician and designer Max Longin has introduced the "stream" chair, a series of four variations on a single design. His chairs follow a common grid, with playfully varied asymmetry in the stainless steel frame. This creates a rhythmic dynamic, especially when the chairs are organized in a group. The seat and back are upholstered and covered with soft leather in the color of your choice; the cheeks come in the wood of your choice. |

Vetrazzo is the brand and company name for a line of exquisite surface materials crafted from recycled glass. These countertops, tabletops, flooring, and architectural cladding products offer a stunning and lively signature for homes and commercial projects. They have one of the highest percentages of recycled content of any "green" building surface material, so they allow homeowners, architects, designers, and builders to exhibit both their style and their respect for the environment. Vetrazzo surfaces are comparable in both price and durability to high-end granite and other premium surface materials. |
