Origami Black and White dress designed by Andre Lima in 2009

The art of paper folding inspired Andre Lima ‘s 2009 fashion show, where  his intricate folded designs dominated the catwalks and even inspired a number of other designers.

Mirrored Lamp Table at £139.99

Our  beautiful Origami mirrored lamp table is an example of Origami  filtering into furniture design.  The flat mirrored planes are angled as if the mirror itself has been folded like paper. This particular design is available  with black or white edges, and retails at £139.99

Black and White Origami Swans

The most popular Origami paper design is the Swan which initially inspired the design of our ORIGAMI mirrored console tables. In true Origami style the mirrored panels appear to be folded like the neck – the most elegant part of the swan.

Origami inspired Mirrored Console tables

The ORIGAMI small mirrored console table is also available with white or black edging and retails at £349.00.

The goal of  the Origami art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculptures  by the use of folding and sculpting techniques, but more importantly to make beautiful creations without glue.

Take some style inspiration from some of Click4interior’s favourite fifties pieces;

The fifties style has quietly grown in popularity with just the odd fifties inspired design here and there, like the classic Eames chair (if your purse cannot afford the original see http://www.click4interiors.co.uk/armchairs/zigzag-designer-armchair-2215902-392098-832192.php  for a gorgeous chair inspired by the classic).

But now it seems designers have fully embraced the 50′s as a source of inspiration. We  at Click4interiors are spotting more design classics and pieces with strong 50′s influences – and we will Pin our best finds here http://pinterest.com/click4interiors/for-the-home/.

The 50′s style is characterized by clean simple lines, rounded edges and the celebration of form as the focus of design. The Teak Lounge Chair, an iconic shape that cannot fail to impress, is one of the lounge chairs that defined the decade; a must to get an authentic 50′s style.

They’re available in an array of inspiring prints and colours and they look fantastic upholstered onto furniture and cushions.

Create a modern and beautiful Living Room with a pretty floral-print sofa and vibrant shades of lime, magneta, coral, and seaglass. Contrast with taupe and chalky white.

Modern floral-print chairs like this work well in a scheme that compliments the fabric motif and chair shape. Use natural flooring, real wood furniture and colour the walls with shades from the upholstery to create a fresh modern feel around this classic piece.

Here the designer has chosen daring pale lemon coloured walls. This may be frightening if its your own home, and yellow walls can go disasterously wrong – but here the colour way is fantastic and also unusually relaxing!

Take interior design inspiration from classic yachts; choose light colours like cool creams and antique white, contrast with navy, slate and fire engine red for a classic nautical look which sits beautifully with bare unfinished pieces.

With a softer, almost gentle utility approach to interior design, bare wood pieces are easy to style and and like any good classic will age beautifully.

With so many different styles available, you can choose something that works for you and your home.

Bare Wood pieces look great with fresh, bright and airy spaces, and/or utility styled rooms. Get the best out of your wood furniture, opt for good hardwoods like oak.

After the Second World War, interests turned back to design. The latest plastic injection moulding technology was the most fashionable thing to date and designers were rushing to create their latest plastic products.

But one thing eluded designers between the 1940′s to the 1960′s – a one piece plastic moulded chair which is aesthetically pleasing and desirable. Some designers managed to create plastic shells with the chair legs seperately attached, but the practicalities involved in removing the plastic from the moulds and the material’s limited strength meant that a single unit plastic chair was almost impossible to produce.

Cool Plastic Chairs that nearly made it to Plastic Oneness…

Charles Eames’ DAR Chair designed in 1948. The plastic shell is in available in several different colours, mounted on metal legs. More recent designs feature wooden legs. (See also DSW chair).

Eero Saarinen’s Tulip Chair designed in 1957. Appeared to made completely out of plastic, however this design has a heavy metal base and the join between the two materials is carefully blended.

Chairs that achieved Oneness!

Verner Panton’s S Chair designed in 1960 was the first of its kind. Panton ignored the tradtional ideas of a chair having 4 legs, and created a chair as one flowing unit. A design which is undeniably popular today.

Joan Gaspar’s Lisboa Chair, designed in 2009. Gas injection moulded plastic. Available in several different colours.

The one bad chair…

The Monobloc Plastic Chair (or common garden chair), designed in 1980. An unlicensed design, this chair has been copied and reinvented hundreds of times. Some may consider this design to be the scourge of plastic seating, however some have taken this design as inspiration.

The newest microtrend!

The next most fashionable item for your home will be the two coloured chair. Simple as pie! Two block colours which can be tones, matching or clashing colours on the same piece of furniture – for the most stylish and easy look this piece of furniture should be a tubchair.

As seen on the catwalks at London Fashion Week 2012, the colours the designers chose were far from dull! What an impact can be made by mixing different tones and putting bright colours together.

http://www.click4interiors.co.uk/swivel-tub-chairs/violet-swivel-tub-chair-2201166-405399-820647.php

If there’s one thing I have learnt it’s BE BOLD AND LIBERAL WITH COLOURS! Dont be afraid of the brighter clashy colours, you can easily match these colours with small accessories like glassware and throws.

For best results choose one colour which matches your existing interior and the other to clash, and if you want something less frightening choose a neutral colour (ivory, cream, pale grey, pastels) and then one bold statement colour (sunshine yellow, red, orange, turquoise, royal blue, sea green, purple).

Traditional Club chair

But rounded wooden chairs called club chairs were in use for hundreds of years in Europe’s Gents Clubs, were Gents were seeking refuge from their family life. Although the wooden club chairs have been available  for many years, the upholstered versions became available to upper classes only in the 17^th century.To make the chairs more comfortable, craftsmen were padding  them out, but the introduction of fully sprung, deep-seated, low-back, upholstered chair in the Victorian era hailed the beginning of the club chair known today also as a Tub chair.

Antiqued leather club chair with a buttoned back

The original club chairs, tub chairs like our MALBOROUGH tub chair were upholstered  in leather and with a buttoned back , turned wood legs on castors. Just imagine being in an exclusive Gent’s Club, sitting in a leather club chair, reading a newspaper whilst sipping brandy and being waited on by butlers. Bliss

In recent years upholstered tub chairs became more popular and a desirable addition to our homes. Tub chairs are now regarded as fashion furniture, adding not only an additional seating but also a splash of colour into monochrome rooms.
