I finally found a set of reading chairs for our office after much searching, but they were so unique I had a hard time deliberating what ottoman to get. That was when I remembered tree stump tables. Of course! Distinctive on their own and very fashionable, the tree stump end table was a perfect solution. All that was required was to select a marbling wood that complemented the frame of the chairs.

There are so many reasons to love them; many artists leave the natural edges and burls leaving a gorgeous top and side graining, most are from reclaimed wood so they are a "green" product, not one is the same as another. Picking one out is much like selecting a piece of art, and then once you bring it home, positioning it can be fun since no side is the same either.
And substantial! We are talking about a massive hunk of wood here. Either way whatever way you select a table, be it teak root, or ebony stained, there is certainly one for your space.

Blue Frog Restaurant and Bar in Mumbai is treat for the senses. The fine dining haute spot is filled with a semicircle of undulating cellular booths at different sizes and heights that gathers around a central stage for live musical performances.

The differing heights of the banquette seating for up to ten people are unified by a glowing acrylic resin surface.

Blue Frog is a truly inspirational design by Serif Architecture.

Esquire's most recent Ultimate Bachelor Pad is now unveiled in SoHo and is it ever dressed to impress. In the main area you'll find the Cuelight Pool Table by Obscura Digital. Special sensors track the movement of the billiard balls below, the sensors then activate the projector above that creates the illusions you see. You can customize the reactions to look like water, streaks of lights, or make movement reveal an image. Obscure digital is known for their inovative creations that help companies advertise in new and different ways, that is how this works so well for Esquire, just pop a picture in of the latest cover. iJustine toured the Esquire SoHo house (check out the amazing black glossy ceiling at 2:56 on her video) and featured this pool table. The Cuelight projector can be installed over an existing pool table, you just need a place above to mount it. You know, I could totally see Google picking up acouple of these for their staff.

Bandini is an opluent Italian company that carries many striking bath faucets and fittings. Take the Seta for example. The modern broken rectangle design is an elegant composition of chrome. The straight reserved lines of thise faucet has been coxed to bend with the water to the basin, and the operating lever has bent the opposite direction, giving the faucet a wonderful balance.

The Arya follows the same respect to water, with a glass extended lip for water to cascade down below. The wall mounted design offers many fun possibilities, like installed in the face of a mirror.  The clean lines and simple shapes are a minimalists' dream come true.
