Sometimes you need an extra chair and sometimes you need a table. These modern chairs can be either or depending on your needs. By simply pushing the two chairs together they transform into a table. Each chair has a notch to slide in one another. Now unused seating has some other place to go. When you’ve got visitors and need an extra chair or two you simply pull them apart. Tada, you got two chairs! This needs to show up at IKEA stat!

Many woodworkers know the challenge in constructing chairs by hand and the difficulty in maintaining consistency in look and quality. In today's mass production market, "made by hand" is often a rare thing indeed. These pictures highlight wonderful examples of hand made wood chairs from Whyrhymer Furniture. Whyrhymer has a studio in California where each of these chairs is made by their craftsmen. Only FSC certified renewable or reclaimed hardwoods are used in the construction helping support today's environmental efforts. More information: here.

If it's Greek to you, you'll love Capitello. This cult classic from 1971 adds a witty accent to any indoor and outdoor space: lounge, terrace, cafe, waiting room. Capitello is manufactured in a soft resin and produced in marble white.

Mention rocking chairs and thoughts of summer evenings on the porch and cold Mint Juleps might come to mind. This rocking chair and loveseat from Wilson Scott, however, throws together polyurethane mesh, a cutout spherical shell and curved steel piping for a distinctly modern feel. Don’t know about you, but I could definitely see getting down on one of these and grinding out 10 hours on Xbox Live.
