Brionvega Alpha TV Review - A Classic Design from the Future.

Brionvega has been making TVs for over 60 years now. Most of the old style retro models such as the Doney or Algol are still available for sale but this famous Italian Design company has recently come out with the first LCD TV in the brand's history, the Alpha TV. This symbol of Italianess has an integrated DVD player and high definition acoustic, a very unique remote control. In terms of design, we think it has more to do with the future rather than the past but the chrome metal and the orange plastic remind us of a great time for product designs. At around 1700 Euros, it is not cheap but this is a price to pay to recreate an atmosphere long gone, with a zest of 2010 technology.

Swedese Swedish Furniture - Brasilia Coffee Table Review

On all the Product Design Awards received by Swedese, one of the most deserved for me goes to this uniquely shaped coffee table in birch, oak or walnut wood. The +1 Diploma 2002 goes to Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune for the Brasilia coffee table by Swedese. The architectural review Forum awards the Best Item during the Stockholm Furniture Fair. “The qualities of the Brasilia lie is its sculptural design, its harmonious volume and its game between the open and the closed" writes Björn Dahlström, Exclusive jury, in the Forum article.
