In today’s design world, furniture, and in particular modern furniture is really pulling double duty. There’s amazing options that aren’t just functional, but also serve as a piece of art.
What’s great about these modern designs is that they’re so different from mass-produced furniture. If you’re a homeowner who wants to add something different, or create conversation around a piece of furniture in a room, adding a unique, modern item is a great way to achieve that.
Even if you’re not ready to do a completely modern overhaul on your home, many of these pieces also mix well with a more traditional overall design, for an unexpected twist.
Modern, unique furniture designs can be used to introduce attention-grabbing shapes or lines, or to add a pop of color in an otherwise neutral room.
Barstools and Chairs Make a Big Statement
These barstools from Michael Stolworthy really caught my attention. I love the design, but they’re also completely functional so you’re getting a great seating option that looks more like a modern sculpture.

Illuminating Lighting Design
Along with chairs and barstools, another great way to utilize modern, artistic designs is through your lighting selections, whether it’s an art-like fixture, or a lamp.
