The Valencia contemporary design company Vondom predominantly uses recycled materials and rotational moulding in their manufacturing, which allows them the scope to create large scale planter products and unique furniture. I am featuring a few of their designs here because of the interesting contemporary results they are achieving and also the fact they use models in their marketing of contemporary decor, which is a rarity these days. Maybe I’m slightly biased because I have worked in advertising as a photographer but its good to see a bit of life added into the set. I always thought it was a slight disconnect to see the trend of interior design layouts for people without any occupants. I’ve also added a few other retro images where design marketing and models had a more regular convergence.. Also some other ceramic innovations minus the models.

Eva Zeisel Coffee Table
A new offerings from Design Within Reach Its curvy base hints at Baroque styling and the classic Noguchi table.
The Seasonal Living Provencal bistro table is hand-made with a mixture of natural sands and a hemp-like grass that produces a very durable but light-weight concrete, then waxed for protection and matched with ceramic seating cubes

Most of the design blogs were in raptures over the hooded chairs, what caught my eye was the impressive modernist sculpture at the window.
