Perched in the foothills of Edna Valley, this single family residence was designed to fulfill the clients’ desire for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Much of the program and architectural forms were driven by the picturesque views of Edna Valley vineyards, visible from every room in the house. Ample amounts of glazing brighten the interior of the home, while framing the classic Central California landscape. Large pocketing sliding doors disappear when open, to effortlessly blend the main interior living spaces with the outdoor patios. The stone spine wall runs from the exterior through the home, housing two different fireplaces that can be enjoyed indoors and out. Because the clients work from home, the plan was outfitted with two offices that provide bright and calm work spaces separate from the main living area. The interior of the home features a floating glass stair, a glass entry tower and two master decks outfitted with a hot tub and outdoor shower. Through working closely with the landscape architect, this rather contemporary home blends into the site to maximize the beauty of the surrounding rural area.

Just like your wardrobe is an expression of your personality, your furniture is a reflection of you and your home. Your furniture design style is as much a reflection of your personality as your hobbies and lifestyle. Just as first impressions are important in the first five seconds of an in person meeting, the same holds true for your home or apartment. One revolution in furniture design has been the shift toward contemporary furniture. Having contemporary furniture in your residence will immediately share with others your vision and style. Renting contemporary furniture will help you project your style with ease and sophistication. This contemporary furniture rental ensemble is elegant and sophisticated. What is contemporary style? The term “contemporary furniture” generally describes furniture design trends that developed in the late nineties. The evolution of modern design, contemporary furniture encompasses a wide and flexible range of styles and techniques that fit together. The hallmark of contemporary furniture is the use of progressive materials and techniques that emphasizes functionality and accessibility with a style of simplicity. With contemporary furniture – less is more in form and function. In contrast to traditional use of heavy, large woods and deeply-patterned, thick fabrics, contemporary furniture design employs lighter and smoother designs, geometry, and polished metals to create a sense of clean coolness and lightness. Don’t think, however, that contemporary design is cold or bleak. Contemporary design integrates interesting patterns and textures – think bamboo and metal – to create a seamless and modern image. Contemporary design also draws on global influences, like Asian, Swedish, and African design, to incorporate a particularly forward-thinking sensibility. Contemporary design integrates nature and green design, drawing inspiration from nature and utilizing materials and designs that are eco-friendly. Contemporary design provides a flexibility and modern style to your furniture. How do I incorporate contemporary furniture into my home or apartment? Think about your needs and the purpose of the room. Contemporary design is flexible and can add wonderful elements to home or office designs. Start out with a central, contemporary piece and build around it. For a living room, select a modern, sleek wall unit. For a conference room, a table of polished wood will really set the tone. One great way to incorporate contemporary design is to rent contemporary furniture. If you are new to contemporary design, renting will help you rest assured that this style is right for you. If you are a long-time devotee of this style, renting contemporary furniture works great for you, too. By renting furniture, you can keep up with the latest trends and styles of contemporary design.
