Whether you are leaving a note for your roommate, displaying your neice’s kindergarten artwork or making a grocery list, this product does it all. “Chat-Board” is the newest line to Gabriel Ross and we are really excited to have it. Founded in 2003, Chat Boards are a modern Danish re-design of the traditional wipe board. Combining decoration and function, these magnetic glass panels also serve as a bulletin board. Chat Boards are made to suit corporate offices and private homes alike, boasting a wide variety of colours and sizes.

 Chat-Board, Lavender - image source: chat-board.dk NOTE: Actual Marker and magnets differ from what's shown in this image.
We just installed three boards in our showroom in different sizes in red, white and rose. The chrome magnets are super strong and able to hold some serious note paper. Also, the markers wipe off easily with either the eraser brush or just a cloth rag. Because these boards are made of glass, you can clean them just as you would glass – with window cleaner. These certainly won’t stain and show ghost images of previous board meetings in a few months like the standard wipe board.

 Losanges rug by the Bouroullec brothers for Nanimarquina - photo: designboom.com
I can’t get enough of these guys! Ronan and Erwan have paired up with Spanish area rug company, Nanimarquina to create “Losanges” – an awesome area rug that salutes traditional persian style with a modern interpretation.

This rug is handmade through and through. The 13 colours of afghan wool is hand spun and the rug is hand woven by crafts people in North Pakistan. I love the geometric, rhombus design with a delivery that makes each rug unique.

- Living Tower in Red
Designed by Verner Panton in 1969, the Living Tower embodied the spirit of the 60′s interactive ‘living’ landscapes. Verner designed many great pieces, breaking away from the more traditional techniques and materials being used by his fellow designers.Â
 Hans J. Wegner Wishbone Chair
He took the living landscapes theme to a whole new level with the “Fantasy” Landscapes he created for Bayer in 1968 and 1970.Â
 "Visiona II". One of Verners Fantasy Landscapes
The Living Tower is still available through Vitra today, although not an inexpensive piece. The Tower serves as Art, interactive furniture and a fantastic, eye-catching way to divide a room.
 Verner with family
The Living Tower is available in red, matt blue and chocolate. It is constructed of a Birch Plywood Frame, uses polyurethane foam, classic upholstery and the outer dimensions are 78 3/4″ square. There are 4 levels at which you can lounge on the Living Tower.

A fun, funky piece of furniture sure to be a conversation piece for years to come.
