Why is it said that the Arco lamp is much more than a fixture or other floor lamps in general? Much has been said about lighting design, its importance, and relevance to both the aesthetic and functional aspects of one space. We know that a basic lighting design falls into three broad categories: ambient lighting, task-based lighting, and accent lighting.

Ambient lighting is present in any type of space but task-based lighting is of vital and special importance in places such as workshops, kitchens, libraries, or any other place where an activity is carried out in which clear lighting is needed.

In other words, based on the above, we can clearly state that the Arco lamp is a very helpful element to reinforce task-based lighting, considering its technical characteristics. After all, it’s a lamp that allows you to redirect the light to the point where you need it most.

The Arco lamp replica from Manhattan Home Design also features this property. Being able to focus the light source on a particular point is a huge advantage for sewists, cooks, people who do manual work such as craftsmen, and even in offices where a lot of paperwork is handled.

The Arco lamp reproduction is much more than that: it’s also a superb piece. Its amazing and elegant Carrara marble base (a component that you won’t find in any other floor lamp) and its arched body that can reach up to 95 inches in height, make it a luxury piece that will give it a masterful touch of style and functionality anywhere in your home, especially in your workshop.

We always recommend that users read the previous blog to be able to fully enjoy the following information, in this case, we recommend reading why multifunctional spaces will be a trend in 2021.

Soft colors

Now is the time to continue with the other two trends that we will see in 2021. The next trend we may not have seen coming because it is related to colors. This year we saw many earth colors in our furniture and even walls, this year you will see softer colors like blue, pink and those kinds of tones. As we mentioned earlier, this also includes furniture so you should choose products that suit it, like the Womb chair, which comes in a variety of colors including blue, green, and gray.

Bring nature inside

Organic is the trend now. Plants, cacti, succulents and more types are a great way to add that warm touch that your house needs, 2021 will be related to plants, so it is a good idea to decorate inside the house with them.

What do you think of all these trends? If you have a favorite or one to add, comment below which is it!

2020 is already part of the past because we only have a few days to finish it. This is actually what most people wanted due to the chaos that this particular year brought, but hey! Not everything is bad, because within this chaos there is always new teaching and what matters most to us, lovers of interior design, a new trend.

The new trends for 2021 are things that you have probably seen before such as a Florence Knoll sofa or perhaps soft colors, today we will show you exactly the approach that will be given next year to new designs.

Multifunctional spaces

This specific trend was born in part due to the increase in home offices and also due to a large amount of time we are currently spending in our homes. For this and more, we need to meet different needs in one place.

For example, in a living room, you can also set up your own home office or homework spaces for the children. Multifunctional spaces also involve multifunctional furniture, such as the Florence Knoll sofa that you may not see at first glance but can function as a family sofa and even a bed when a guest is staying due to its spacious structure.

No doubt renovating the spaces you live in can bring many benefits. It’s incredible how just adding an element of great aesthetic and functional value like the Flag Halyard Chair can radically transform the spirit of an entire compartment and directly influence your lifestyle to make it more practical and simple.

This can even be very useful if you work from home and need to stay motivated since it’s scientifically proven that one of the factors that directly affect the productivity and well-being of a worker is their environment. It includes colors, shapes, lighting, smells, ventilation, temperature, and of course, furniture, among many other subjective factors. This is why the Hans Wegner Flag Halyard Chair, which was designed as a modern and innovative rest chair, is often a successful addition.

In fact, some very affordable products like the Flag Halyard Chair reproduction by Manhattan Home Design, faithfully reproduce every detail of the original design created by the famous Dane.

Never doubt how much the Flag Halyard Chair replica can mean for you and your surroundings. Renewing your space’s atmosphere doesn’t have to be something so complex or in which you need to invest a fortune. Many times, a masterpiece like this is enough to make a difference!

Do you dream of the perfect coffee table? Know that it’s not an impossible dream. Not only because the catalog of modern coffee tables is almost infinite nowadays, but also because that diversity is responsible for the fact that there’s practically an ideal design for each person.

In this context, it’s inevitable to mention the Tulip table as one of the most amazing, iconic, and influential coffee tables within the entire group of famous Mid-Century Modern style models. Both furniture design specialists and ordinary users, lovers of these types of pieces, know it: it’s a creation that not only looks good and is aesthetically very versatile but also adapts to different types of environments.

In fact, the Tulip table is not just one, but it’s a collection of different tables with that name since they’re based on the same tulip-shaped structure, but with different sizes, heights, and even colors, like the one black Tulip table, so that users can choose the one that best meets their needs.

Stores like Manhattan Home Design include in their catalog a Tulip table replica of each of the models born from the imagination of the great Eero Saarinen, which means that users can get it on the website at just a fraction of the cost of the original.

Your living room, sunroom, or tea room haven’t yet shown their most modern and sophisticated face! The Tulip table continues to reign as one of the most amazing pieces that you can display in any of your spaces.

Sophistication and comfort sometimes are all we want in a furniture piece when we have a minimalist or mid-century modern style in our layouts, but how can you achieve this? Is quite easy, normally it all remains in the focal point you implement in the space you are decorating. For example, if you are decorating a living room, people tend to add as a focal point a sofa because this is where most of the people share their time, resulting in perhaps the most often used piece of the house. 

If this is your case an LC3 sofa is the perfect option for you! This sofa belongs to the collections presented by the Le Corbusier group in 1928 called “cushion baskets”. This collection was a representation of modernism at the moment was created.

The LC3 sofa structure is perfect for elegant places because it is fully upholstered in aniline leather. In addition to this design was made in this way with the main idea to provide comfort from each of its parts.  

One of the most attractive of this sofa is its tubular structure that supports the soft seats and gives them an aesthetic that’s fully compatible with modern styles. 

Sometimes, size does matter, a lot. Especially when it comes to choosing an appropriate bed for your room; that sacred temple of rest in which everything should be in the most appropriate balance and harmony so that the energies can flow in the right direction. However, things can get a bit complicated when it comes time to choose the piece that meets your expectations. At that time, a design as valuable as the Ophelia bed is always worth considering to become the official platform of your dreams every night.

However, you are not necessarily looking for an ideal platform bed frame for your own room, but for the guest room, if you have the privilege of having it and it’s spacious enough to have a large bed. It’s common for homeowners to choose a wood bed frame for the guest room, but these designs are not always made with the best quality, and this is something that, over time, you’ll notice more and more, both you and people who use the room frequently. For this reason, a modern bed frame is usually the best answer for this need.

Never hesitate: a mid-century bed frame like the Ophelia bed will be able to support your countless hours of sleep and be the ideal companion for your visitors, who will come away with a very pleasant impression when discovering a piece of furniture with such style, elegance, and modern spirit.

In the previous post we talked about how you can start implementing the 2021 trends in your design, we also talked about how a Mario Bellini sofa can help you in the way you do it.

Today we will continue with the simple tips so that you do not have too many problems to start the new year.

The Togo sofa is another option when you want to implement modern vibes

The Togo sofa is almost the definition of modernism, its designer; Michael Ducaroy is really famous for making standout and raucous pieces. It has a very thick and comfortable cushions and it is also fully lined with aniline leather. This is also a modern option but with a boho touch.

Add a mat to complement and adhere to a pattern

As we said in the previous post, we mentioned that the mid-century modern style was the one that has increased in use and will be all the rage next year, so to combine this style the best way to go is by adding a simple accent like a geometric patterned rug with modern colors perhaps mid-century; which are basically yellow, red and brown.
