At first sight the Bambach saddle seat looks really weird, you could easily imagine it as some sort of training seat for rodeo riders. It’s certainly very different looking to the usual kind of chair you find in the workplace.
So, what is this unusual seat all about?
What is the Bambach and why is it different? The Bambach saddle seat takes a radically different approach to work seating and is based on the principal of riding a horse. The seat design is built around the shape of a western style horse saddle.

When a Palo Alto, California, couple called on Danenberg Design to remodel their kitchen, little did they know the project would be the springboard that launched a whole house makeover. The homeowners were so enthused by the results of their kitchen, they asked the design firm to continue working on the house, including an overhaul of the master bath. The bath’s sleek Asian feel is punched up with a vibrant violet accent color, which has a direct correlation to the homeowner’s extensive art collection. “The wife has a contemporary art collection that incorporates vivid colors, so the violet wall took wing from the artwork,” said Lanny Danenberg, Danenberg Design. The Eastern influence comes, in part, from previous travel overseas by Lanny and her husband Dan, who designed the bath. “We had Read more…
HDTV is fast gaining popularity and it has now become a necessity in modern homes. These days nearly all major electronics companies are manufacturing HDTVs. During the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, several companies launched their new HDTVs. Here is a list of 10 best HDTVs unveiled at the 2012 CES.
1 1. Toshibas glasses-free 3D HDTV
Manufactured by Japanese firm Toshiba, this glasses-free 3D HDTV boasts of a 55 inch screen and it is not a direct port of the ZL2. In 2D, this set displays at 4K (3840×2160), while in 3D it drops down to 720p (1280×720).

My favorite was the Arts & Crafts Mission Double Door Bookcase, its Old World feel and glass paneling perfect for showcasing my collection.
