Yesterday, we featured a fusion style interior design project<\/a> which blended the Mediterranean and Finnish cultures and today we are featuring a similar design project which resulted from a blend of the oriental and the western cultures. Paris based designer Bina Baitel<\/a> presents a very interesting collection of furniture design<\/a> which have been inspired from the Oriental lifestyle of sitting on the floor for various activities like eating, reading or praying.<\/p>\n Her first furniture piece named\u00a0 \u2018Tarah\u2019 is a steel table finished gold leaf and has a mattress made from polyurethane foam which is top-stitched with a black fabric from Danish textile brand Kvadrat<\/a>. The mattress can be rolled out on the floor to create a comfortable socializing space in the living room and rolled up back on to the table to create a clear flooring space.\u00a0 Inspired by the ‘Tarah’, Baitel later created the side lamp ‘Snug’ which is basically a simple study lamp made from leather. A part of the lampshade extends on the\u00a0 floor and spread out like a mattress which could be used to laze around on the floor while reading a book. Take a look at some of the images below.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
