Those who still consider Japan as a hub for electric productions only shall revise their opinion. The rationale is the mobility touch that seems to have influenced Japanese markets thereby inviting prospective consumers. Called the Kenchikukagu, it is the designer range of mobile furniture coming from the house of Atelier OPA based in Japan. The Kenchikukagu series incorporate a mobile work station, a mobile bed and a moible kitchen. Out of all, the mobile bed gathered my attention as it can be pleated when not in-use. It sports a small work space with a lighting touch that can appeal no less than a masterpiece, if installed in an office. Designed to ease your working, sleeping and eating habits, the designer mobile furniture are way beyond those virtual concept designs as are available for sale on Amazon Japan for JPY 800,000(about $7436 US).

A true artist never lets an experience go waste. The challenge of the art is to immortalize what appeals to heart, through art. That is what Amy Rice did after she got inspiration from seeing beautiful Zinnias flowers blooming all over. She made Zinnia flowers the theme of a complete range of furnishings including tables, chairs and boards. All this reminds me of the painted leaf in O Henry’s Last Leaf; true to life, these flowers can lighten your mood anytime.

Lately, a change of taste is being witnessed in the likings of the filthy-rich or those belonging to elite section of society. Against their routine thought of exhibiting their riches over walls by hanging valuable art, now they wish to sit on it. And boosting high this spirit stands the Russian oligarch and Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich. Respecting this new art discipline, they seem to have lost their heart to a creation of something christened as “functional sculpture”. Designed and developed by architects and artists, the demand for this furniture item can well be calculated during its inviting visibility at the first auction dedicated exclusively to modern design scheduled at Christie’s this autumn.

The auction at Christie’s is expected to feature items like polyurethane table designed by the Iranian architect Zaha Hadid and highly polished steel sofa by the British-born Israeli designer Ron Arad priced at £100,000 and £150,000 respectively. Word is around that Arad’s work will be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2009. Wishful buyers of this world’s priciest art creation include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
