I usually love anything by Chista – a NYC company with an intense focus on blending “primitivism and modernism” – but their Landscape Tables really capture my heart.  The graceful contrasting design concept represents our current environment.  A highly polished, geometric stainless steel base signifies technology and the control that humans try to have over the elements.  A sliced teak root tabletop suggests the organic and enigmatic presence that nature possesses over our creations.  Each piece is a unique and functional work of art that adds wonderful warmth and character.

This table is great for the family or couple who likes to entertain but doesn’t have a large space to do so.  This Fusion table by Aramith is contemporary, classy and durable for an ideal dining experience.  When finished with dinner, just remove the top and the table is instantly ready for a game of pool.  This piece allows for an easy transition from formal to fun.

CC Concepts LTD has come up with an innovative kitchen design for very small spaces.  This circular kitchen revolves so no need to walk to the dishwasher, just take a spin.  It comes in many design set-ups and color choices, including bright blue, red and natural wood tones.  You also don’t have to worry about having a messy kitchen when unexpected guests arrive, all you have to do is close the doors.  However, I would not recommend this set-up for the baking enthusiast.
