Believe it or not, the proper size and placement of your digital entertainment pieces can not only have an effect on the aesthetic of a room, it can determine how much you actually enjoy sitting on the couch watching that movie you’ve been looking forward to seeing. These tips will help you set up an entertainment center that will be enjoyable and will compliment the room.

• Size – The biggest television is not always the best one. In fact, a screen that is too large for a space, especially one you are forced to sit too close to, will compromise visual quality.

• Wall Placement – When hanging a flat screen don’t judge the height based on standing there looking at it. Sit on the chair you will normally spend your time in and you will notice that the screen needs to be hung much lower for you to be comfortable.

• Hiding Wires – Nothing ruins an elegant room faster than wires hanging. If you are concealing wires in a wall, make sure that they have a UL-rating so there is no potential for a fire hazard. Don’t want to tuck your wires in your wall? Use wire guards, they stick to virtually any surface and you can paint them to match the color of the wall.

To ensure that your digital entertainment center doesn’t distract from the room, keep DVD players, gaming systems and remote controls tucked away neatly out of sight.

Intriguingly Noguchi achieves this triangular structure without appearing to do so formally and explicitly. A glass top of a loosely triangular shape sits directly on this leg configuration.

Despite the asymmetry of the base, the final effect is a symmetrical structure with a dynamic design. Only a master in controlling forms, materials and shapes like Noguchi could obtain a product that is strong and a the same time charming like this coffee table.

The table was a striking example of the organic design being promoted in the United States in the early 1940s as a result of the highly influential exhibition in 1941, entitled ‘Organic Design in Home Funishings’, at The Museum of Modern Art.

Yet the use of formal asymmetry in this piece also shows Noguchi’s Japanese cultural heritage; much of the Japanese tradition in painting, ceramics and garden design lays great emphasis on asymmetrical balance and the art of carefully considered naturalness.

From 1962 to 1970 the table was given a plate glass top, and a base of solid walnut or ebony-finished poplar. According to the blueprint specifications, the glass was originally 2.2 cm (0.87 in) thick. but was reduced to 1.9 cm (0.75 in) after 1965, after which time there were also slight modifications to the base and height. But certain details remained the same, such as the dowel connecting the table base, which has always been metal.

The peculiar shape of the base elements -two equal parts- made the table mass-producible and economical: an unique object at an affordable cost and as consequence affordable for the final user. That’s why the Noguchi table also quickly become a mid century icon. Since 2003 -due to the increasing number of imitations on the market- the manufacturer Herman Miller added the Isamu Noguchi signature to each piece to make it easily recognizable.

The American industrial designer, architect, and journalist George Nelson was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1908. From 1928 until 1931 he attended Yale University, obtaining both a BA and a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

From 1946 until 1972 George Nelson was director of design at Herman Miller. In 1947 George Nelson opened a practice in New York, which became George Nelson & Associates in 1953, with Gordon Chadwick as a partner.
While working for Herman Miller, George Nelson introduced several important innovations in office furniture design. Of his own designs, the 1958 "Swagged Leg Group", which includes the "DAF" and "MAA" chairs, is particularly noteworthy. The back of the "MAA" is flexible and can be adjusted backwards at a 90-degree angle, which is made possible by an innovative new jointed fastener, consisting of steel ball bearings in rubber mounts. In 1946 George Nelson designed "Platform", a simple and functional bench, forentsteht for Herman Miller.
The best known George Nelson designs include the 1955 "Coconut Chair", with a triangular seat inspired by a piece of coconut shell. The 1956 "Marshmallow" sofa is another revolutionary George Nelson design, with a seat and back made of individual round cushions.

Few furniture designers have had as lasting an impact on modern furniture design as Charles and Ray Eames.  Their collaboration on everything from architecture to office furniture to lounge chairs has produced some of modern furniture design’s most well-known pieces.  Married in 1941, the couple set up their own design studio in Venice, California and eventually designed and built their own home in collaboration with another giant of modern furniture design, Eero Saarinen, in the Pacific Palisades, just a few miles from their design shop.  The house stands to this day and has even been designated a National Historic Landmark.

Charles and Ray Eames were known for their innovation and utter departure from more traditional furniture designs and manufacturing.  Technical innovations in the world of metals, woods and plastic in the mid-20th century inspired many of their modern classic furniture designs.  Plastic, while first invented in 1855, really came into its own in the 1950s and 1960s as scientists and inventors modified its chemical structure and created new uses for it.  Plastic was everywhere in the mid-20th century as scientists invented plastics from synthetic materials that could form plastic eating utensils, Saran Wrap, Tupperware and, finally, even furniture.  One piece that is typical the Eamses’ style as well as their fascination with plastic’s new possibilities is the Eiffel chairs sold by EZ Mod Furniture.  These modern classic chairs are constructed of a molded plastic shell atop a framework of high-shine chrome steel that is reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.  The molded plastic shell is curved to be comfortable for sitting on, even without any type of padded cushion. The simplicity of the Eiffel chairs makes them a functional as well as stylish addition to any dining room, living room or office.  EZ Mod Furniture makes these icons of modern furniture design in either black or white matte plastic and adds black floor protectors to the bottom of each of the four legs to protect your hardwood floors from being scratched.  And where most modern classic furniture retailers would sell these icons of modern furniture design for as much as $260, EZ Mod Furniture carries them for just $159.99, saving you $100 on each chair. 

If you are looking for modern classic furniture for your home or office, the choice is clear:  EZ Mod Furniture has the modern classic style you want at the prices you can afford.
