(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 17, 2013 ) St.Louis, MO -- People interested in designer furniture from the world’s best artists should have a look at a blog devoted to high-end furniture.
HighEndLuxuryFurniture.com, put together by Mr Jim Ackerson, presents the latest offerings from some of the world’s best and most acclaimed designers. He said he started the blog to give people a chance to see offerings furniture stores in their area may not carry.
“A lot of people are limited to furniture stores that carry mass produced stuff from Chinese furniture factories. Some of it is quality. A lot, however is not. But all of it is utilitarian in design. It’s not the kind of furniture you would see in a Hollywood mansion or a New York penthouse suite,” he said.
Recent posts have looked at furniture by Arne Jacobsen, George Nelson and Philippe Stark. What sets this furniture apart is the work that goes into the design and then the construction.
“The Louis Ghost Chair is a great example of this. Using the Louis XVI Armchair as the base design, this Neoclassical chair is created from a durable polycarbon. With the addition of just a touch of color, these translucent chairs sit as well as they look,” he said.

The transparent quality of the polycarbon is why the chair gets the name Louis Ghost Chair. “Philippe Stark, the designer, first created this chair in the early 2000’s. It has since become a global phenomena and the chairs can be found in the patios, sitting rooms and dining rooms of luxury homes across the world,” Mr. Ackerson said.
The content on the site is written for everyone and anyone, he said. Some of the pieces discussed are quite affordable while others are for those with deeper pockets. Most of the pieces written about are iconic masterpieces displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
“The designers have taken steps to maintain quality and functionality while bringing their prices to a point where some can buy this furniture. You too can make your home look like something seen in a fashion or architecture magazine,” Mr. Ackerson said.
