I am always on the outlook for  timeless pieces of furniture , so I  was so pleased to find this stunning contemporary Armonica coffee table retailing at £234.00. It’s base is  made  out of  dark finished vertical steel rods with a round tempered clear glass table top. It screams quality and substance.

I wasn’t searching for them but the  Bartok table lamps made my day! Their open wire bases are made out of shaped, coloured wire rods . The Bartok table lamps retail at £99.00 on our website, they come in two different  styles and two colours. The Bartok Red table lamp base has been created with red coloured metal wire rods. It stands tall and proud and comes with a red trapeze shaped lamp shade.

The   Bartok Black lamp has a different designed lamp base  that  also is made out of  shaped wire rods but  coloured black. A black drum lamp shade  finishes off the look.

The  designs of the Armonica coffee table and the Bartock table lamps remind me of  the  iconic  furniture designed by the 60s  architect and designer Mr.Warren Platner .He has designed a range of furniture made out of steel rods. The idea to shape steel rods  into furniture came to him during a walk through the countryside where a shiny sheath of wheat  inspired him to transformed nickel plated steel rods into sculptural furniture  that is now considered a design icon. It has won him the American Institute of Architects International Award.

Mr Warren Platner’s  prototypes  were sold at an auction signalling growing interest by collectors of Mid-Century Modern design and this collection has been in continuous production ever since.
