Modern stuff...

Modern Stuff..

Today I am sharing with all of you a bunch of modern stuff I found in the last few weeks since I have been sick and really unable to tend to many of the business functions I previously and again now handle. So this is like my first blog posting in some time.. 

Enjoy the pics and post... 


Banging & Bold Modern Kitchen Inspiration



Urbanspace Interiors is a hip and stylish modern furniture store in Austin, Texas, and they just so happened to build out a perfectly inspiring kitchen in their showroom. Using sleek lines, stunning material and bold, modern accents, they’ve created a kitchen that anyone would want to have in their home.



The kicker of course, is a combo of the thin-profiled white Silestone countertops mixed with that stunner of a vinyl wallpaper back splash from Flavor Paper. Partnered with white accent chairs (we spot Kartell’s Masters Chair in white right there), they’ve really created a powerful but surprisingly simple modern kitchen. If you want to know more about the products and materials used as well as some Sketch-up renderings, check out the blog at Urbanspace Interiors.

Paul Bernier’s Bernier-Thibault Residence



We love a thick, urban environment. Full of concrete and loud noises and fun materials and people. But we also adore the calm, relaxing atmosphere when in nature. The Bernier-Thibault Residence in Montreal, Canada by Paul Bernier Architecte sure seems to meld two seemingly impossible to mix environments into one kick butt architectural structure.

 




“Two boxes made of glass and wood, simple volumes of similar dimensions, were added to the original house. One box was placed on the roof and the other one in the garden under the big maple.”

 




“A vertical slice of the original garden side wall was taken out and replaced by a wood structure wall that allows for openings on the garden and that acts as a formal link between the two boxes. The original house is veneered with brick and all new interventions are made of wood.”

 




A beautiful space and an inspiring home. More information on Architizer.

Pre-Fabulous: Swatt/Miers’ Krubiner Residence



Always astounded by how good-looking pre-fab architecture can be, and the Krubiner Residence by Swatt/Miers Architects is a great example. Made in partnership with Simpatico Homes (the manufacturers), this great home lives in Emeryville California. And hey! Look how accessibly modern it is! Get the look: We spot a Blu Dot Bonnie Sofa, and Blu Dot’s Pi Tables look similar to the coffee table, too.



Love how open the kitchen is, and how dynamic that tile backsplash is, tying the whole space together and mimicking the graphic pop of the concrete brick wall next door.



What an entry way! And you wouldn’t be able to tell at all that this was a prefab home unless someone told you, don’t you think? More on the Swatt/Miers website.

Avant-Garde Home Frnishings, Modern Contemporary Household Furniture



Avant Garde Home Furnishings Growth and Future path....
By Alexander Calzadilla




It seems not so long ago the concept of Avant-Garde was in its infancy, we had no website to speak of and we simply had Ebay listings and a pro store on Amazon. Within a month our so called Avant-Garde Ebay store was selling so many items that we felyt we were getting ripped off in fees that we paid ebay for basically doing nothing. They are outrageous. They control everything. What you can sell, what you can say, and how you can grow. They are in my opinion one of the worse companies in terms of control. Its like they are Big Brother in George Orvile's famous novel that had a totalitarian US government in the far off future. 



We decided to go on our own and break free of ebay and create our own website called Avant Garde Home Furnishings.com, Everything for your mnodern & contemporary home.. Fast forward a few months of tweas, changes, graphic designs by Edward Saunders, our creative partner, the addition of several key people to help out and now finally the renting of our very own offices and possibly show room space and you get the more mature, more established Avant-Garde we have today. Today's Avant Garde is listed in search results, google products search, has anylytics accoun ts, branded logos, business cards. hours of operation, and is listed in Bing Local, Yahoo, Yellow Pages, Yelp Listing, US Directory listing, Manta, Biznik, Linkedin, has a dedicate Facebook page with over 400 followers, Twitter page with over 1,500 followers, You Tube Page, My Space Page, and 4 active blogs that are published every day. We now have 6 employees, health care, and office space and it seems unreal that something that started off as a simply idea has grown so much and has done so much in really less then a year. Our company credit is excellent, we owe very little and make a good amount on sales and one thing is for sure I can only see us moving forward and getting better at providing excellent customer servic to all our customers, excellent product selection, and of course a friendly staff ready to assist in any way possible. 




We are the new kids on the block,. We are energetic, full of ideas, and ready for the challanges that await us in this tough market. But one thing is for sure, we have a lot of energy a friendship between the poepl who work here that goes beyond business and simply trust but is closer to family then collegues. Simply put we will ne there for each other through tough times to make sure we make it to the good times. We hang out not simply to work but to enjoy each other companies and come up with new ideas on how to grow and make things better. So far its worked like a charm and I know deep down we will be the next big item in the world of Modern, XContemporary Home Furniture and decor. We will strive to be the best and lowest price for quality items that people actually want in their homes. We willl not list cheap goods that simply do not meet the cut but instead will always be on the lookout for the next unique product that sticks out from the rest. If any of you know me and my past and work ethic at Costa Farms where I took an orchid department dead last in teh United States and turned it around and made it number one in a year, you know that my determination to make this company great is not only there but will become a reality. 

So be on the lookout for Avant-Garde Home Furnishings, LLC, because as we now carry over 2,000 products and named brands from all areas that we feature plus or own in-house designer custom made items under the Brand Avant-Garde custom designs and we will continue to grow and continue to look for better products at cheaper prices.
