Work at Home Furniture : Combination Coffee and Laptop Table

For work at home professionals or workaholics that are always working, this combination coffee and laptop table is a cool piece of furniture. I like the fact that it can be "put away" and not make the living room look like a home office. The simple mechanism that brings the table closer to the person sitting can make a big difference in potential back discomfort that can be caused by leaning forward to use a laptop on a coffee table. More information: here.

Omnibus Back-to-Back Settee from Vladimir Kagan

Very few furniture designers have left such an indelible mark as German born Vladimir Kagan. His iconic works have made a lasting impression on the modern furniture industry, an industry he helped define in a career that spanned six decades. Among his creations that are said to be before their time is the "Omnibus Back to Back" settee lounge which is one of my favorites by Kagan first introduced in the late 1960's. A strong desire for the Vladimir Kagan collection even surpassed his retirement in 1987, and after sustained consumer demand, Kagan continued designing exclusive custom furniture in addition to commercial furniture for manufacturers including Vladimir Kagan Couture. If you have a fondness for the roots of the modern furniture movement and the designers that made it happen visit vladimirkagancouture.com.
