Five Hottest Contemporary Modern Furniture Concepts

Congratulations on finally getting that shiny new house you've always dreamt of having, sporting the most modern innovations of architecture and ultra high-tech fittings and fixtures. However, if you don't have an equally stunning collection of furniture to go with it, won't it seem rather incomplete? Furniture have evolved in terms of appearance as well as utility and uniqueness over the ages, and some of them have long evolved past their original looks and purposes, and are now on a steady path to becoming more and more radical. Let's take a closer peek at five of the most stunning and critically acclaimed concepts of contemporary modern furniture which are causing waves in the furniture market of the world.

1. LunaBlocks: People who have spent many hours playing with Lego bricks in their childhood and are aware of the many hours of fun which they can provide will be able to fully appreciate the unique do-it-yourself approach of LunaBlocks. LunaBlocks allow you to be creative and participate in the creation of your own furniture, as long as you have plenty of imagination, time and funds to do it. As the name of LunaBlocks suggests, they are basically gigantic Lego-style building blocks which can be combined and joined to make any type of furniture one may need - coffee tables, sofas, desks, chairs - the list can go on and on. The best part is, these pieces of furniture look very different from their ordinary counterparts because of their fashionable designs and very different means of construction, and they are perfectly suited for use in any modern home. However, LunaBlocks can be a bit pricey for many people, since a single LunaBlocks brick can cost between $20 and $55, and you're going to need several if you want to make something that you can use.

2. Ghost Lounge: Cedri Martini's designed this unusual chair while keeping high-end sports cars in mind, and its ultra-ergonomic streamlined appearance is a solid testament to that. It is fashioned completely from fiberglass, and sports a glossy finish which makes sure that your eyes will love it as much as your body does.

3. Sonic Chair: The spherical Sonic Chair integrates style and technology by incorporating a high-quality surround sound system into its structure, which lets its user enjoy their favourite music while relaxing in its cozy interior. It is available in a staggering 35 different shades of colour, and lets you play tunes from your portable music player through a docking port.

4. Untitled Chair: Designer Alessandro Bêda couldn't find a name good enough for this seat which takes ergonomics to entirely new levels, and he ended up naming it the Untitled Chair. From a distance, it looks like a 10 by 10 horizontal grid of tall blocks placed on gas-based shock absorbers, but when someone sits on it, the pressurized blocks become depressed until it smoothly shapes itself precisely to accommodate your posterior.

5. Kenchikukagu: Compared to their Western counterparts, Japanese households are somewhat smaller, and putting extra kitchens, studies or guestrooms into them is usually out of the question -until the Kenchikukagu made its appearance. Designer Toshihiko Suzuki came up with the revolutionary concept of "collapsible" furniture, which can be packed into compact forms and stowed away when not in use, yet can be opened up to expose a fully usable, if somewhat small, fully furnished room.
