International Contemporary Furniture Fair 2013The Stockholm Table and Chairs, Coming in August Yesterday I checked out the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, an annual trade show highlighting what's new in design. It's not a kitchen-focused show, but I like going to see what's exciting for the dining room. A big reveal at this year's show was the brand-new Stockholm dining table and chairs from IKEA, made of walnut and due in stores in August! See more photos below: The Stockholm dining set is a sweet new addition to IKEA's dining line, inspired by furniture from the 50s and 60s. It's actually the fourth iteration of the Stockholm line, which had previous collections launched in 1984, 1989 and 2006. Like those collections, the new dining set has a "a nod to nature," as they say, with organic color schemes, shapes and textures. The armrests on the dining chair are built at an angle, so they fit perfectly under the table.The Stockholm dining table will sell for $599, the walnut chairs for $139, and the green chairs for $119.
Look for them in stores stateside in August!Plus, dine outdoors in style with our best outdoor dining chairs. This chair's traditional form perfectly accents the understated linen fabric and the wood's weathered finish. It's best suited for sizable tables, though, thanks to its larger stature. With its soft shape, this chair calls to mind Italian designs of the 1970s, while the unusual and striking upholstered legs make it a great choice for more glamorous spaces. The wood and understated silhouette of this chair recall the simplicity of Danish furniture. The lightly padded leather seat adds comfort, while the slim frame means this chair can fit at even the smallest dining table. Thanks to its clean-lined design, this dining chair would work with almost any style decor. It also features a highly comfortable seat, so it could work as extra seating in a family room or home office too. With its graceful profile and glossy lacquer finish, this sleek style would work well in a sophisticated urban apartment.
The single red stripe adds aesthetic interest to the otherwise all-black chair. This chair's solid mahogany frame is hand-carved to resemble bamboo, which gives the seat an eclectic style. The lacquer finish adds polish. This family-friendly chair is made out of super durable walnut and hickory woods, so it can withstand years of wear and tear. Vintage lovers will adore this chair, as it recalls a traditional English scroll-back chair, but is sturdier and plusher than an antique. It's also compact in size, so it's a great choice for smaller spaces. With its leather-covered back and slightly rustic vibe, this simple chair would make the perfect companion to a modern farmhouse table. This frills-free chair is not only practical, but stylish as well, thanks to its streamlined shape and sturdy design. The antique-brass inlay along the frame and subtle curve on the front legs of this stately chair means it can mix with traditional and contemporary pieces. This sleek chair is extremely light, so it's easy to move around.
Plus, it's got a compact footprint and is stackable. This chair makes it so easy to turn to your dining companion on either side – but it could also make a great office chair. With its precise details – like the way the steel cuts into the walnut at the seat – this chair feels like a modern take on the midcentury Brazilian. And though the compact frame appears delicate, it's actually very sturdy. If you're decorating on a tight budget, this painted wood option is hard to beat. It's a simple chair, but the red color makes it pop. From the dark finish of the coerced oak to the unusual way the paper cord has been woven so it's not just a simple, flat seat, this spindle chair is a beauty. Throw a shearling over the back to add softness.d Bold nailhead details and the richly textured oak frame give this chair a masculine, rustic feeling. It's a handsome choice for a mountain house. The cutouts on this updated take on a classic Swedish chair take it from traditional to playful.
