Beds
A bed is a piece of furniture or location primarily used as a place to sleep, but can serve other functions.
Beds come in a wide array of shapes and sizes. Early beds were little more than piles of straw or some other natural materials. An important change was raising them off the ground, to avoid drafts, dirt, and pests. Designer Beds from top designers at www.designer-beds.net

The Best Designer Beds
Modern furniture refers to furniture produced from the late 19th century through the present that is influenced by modernism. It was a tremendous departure from all furniture design that had gone before it. Dark or gilded carved wood and richly patterned fabrics gave way to the glittering simplicity and geometry of polished metal.

B for Harry Bertoia Harry Bertoia Harry Bertoia was an Italian-born artist and modern furniture designer. At the age of 15 he traveled from Italy to Detroit to visit his older brother, however he chose to stay and enrolled in Cass Technical High School, where he studied art and design and learned the art of handmade jewelry making. In 1938 he attended the Art School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts, now known as the College for Creative Studies. The following year in 1937 he received a scholarship to study at the Cranbrook Academy of Art where he encountered Walter Gropius, Edmund N. Bacon and Ray and Charles Eames for the first time. Opening his own metal workshop in 1939 he taught jewelry design and metal work. Later, as the war effort made metal a rare and very expensive commodity he began to focus his efforts on jewelry making, even designing and creating wedding rings for Charles and Ray Eames and Edmund Bacon's wife Ruth. Later in 1943, he married Brigitta Valentiner, and moved to California to work with Charles and Ray for the Evans Product Company. Evans provided technical work for airplane and medical equipment. Bertoia was also drawing training manuals. At this point they began to experiment with molded plywood under the auspices of their Plyformed Products Company, which was later bought out by Evans. With Eero Saarinen they developed a method for making molded plywood splints that would later evolve into processes for designing furniture. Bertoia remained as part of their staff, working on a variety of projects. Three years later he split with the Eames, concerned that his work was not receiving due credit, and preferring to work with metal rather than wood. In the same year he finally became a US citizen. In 1950, he moved to Pennsylvania, to established a studio, and to work with Hans and Florence Knoll. (Florence was also a Cranbrook Graduate). During this period he designed five wire pieces that became known as the Bertoia Collection for Knoll. Among them the famous 'Diamond chair' a fluid, sculptural form made from a molded lattice work of welded steel. In Bertoia's own words, "If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them." They were produced with varying degrees of upholstery over their light grid-work, and they were handmade because a suitable mass production process could not be found. Unfortunately, the chair resembled an Eames chair so closely that Herman Miller, Eames' distributor, took Knoll to court on the grounds that they were taking wrongful credit for a bent-wire technique owned by the Eames. Herman Miller eventually won and gave Knoll a license to produce the chairs, but knowing that the Eames and Bertoia worked closely for so long, the "genealogy" of inspiration seems difficult and maybe even unnecessary to pin down.
C for Charles-Edouard Jeanneret Charles-Edouard Jeanneret Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, who chose to be known as Le Corbusier was a French, Swiss-born architect and writer, who is famous for his contributions to what now is called modernism, or the International Style. He was a pioneer in theoretical studies of modern design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities. His career spanned five decades, with his iconic buildings constructed throughout central Europe, India, Russia, and one structure each in North and South America. He was also an urban planner, painter, sculptor, writer, and modern furniture designer. Le Corbusier began experimenting with furniture design in 1928 after inviting the architect, Charlotte Perriand, to join his studio. His cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, also collaborated on many of the designs. Before the arrival of Perriand, Le Corbusier relied on ready-made furniture to furnish his projects, such as the simple pieces manufactured by Thonet. In 1928 Le Corbusier and Perriand began to put the expectations for furniture Le Corbusier outlined in his 1925 book L'Art Décoratif d'aujourd'hui into practice. In the book he defined three different furniture types: type-needs, type-furniture, and human-limb objects. He defined human-limb objects as: "Extensions of our limbs and adapted to human functions that are. Type-needs, type-functions, therefore type-objects and type-furniture. The human-limb object is a docile servant. A good servant is discreet and self-effacing in order to leave his master free. Certainly, works of art are tools, beautiful tools. And long live the good taste manifested by choice, subtlety, proportion, and harmony". LC2 chair, 'cushion basket'The first results of the collaboration were three chrome-plated tubular steel chairs designed for two of his projects, The Maison la Roche in Paris and a pavilion for Barbara and Henry Church. The line of furniture was expanded for Le Corbusier's 1929 Salon d'Automne installation, Equipment for the Home. In the year 1964, while Le Corbusier was still alive, Cassina S.p.A. of Milan acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture his furniture designs. Today many copies exist, but Cassina is still the only manufacturer authorised by the Fondation Le Corbusier.

Model castings Model castings are when a models meet with a modeling agency to try and secure work for a modeling job. Model casting consists of a sit-down meeting with a client or modeling agency to discuss a model's portfolio and the job in question. It is important for any model, male or female, to keep their book (a sample of all jobs) current. In reality, a model's book is their resume. Most of the time a modeling agency will take test shot/s of a model at the time of the interview; most likely a polaroid. Visit model castings to find out more.
Model contest A model contest is a competition between two or more people that is based largely, though not always entirely, on the beauty of their physical appearance. Most modeling contests have age requirements and application deadlines. If you, or someone you know, is considering entering a modeling contest, be sure to get all of the necessary information and entry forms well in advance of the contest deadline. A modeling contest is also a great way for aspiring actresses to gain exposure in the world of acting. To find more information about modeling contests in your area, or nationally, go to modeling contests.
Model jobs Modeling jobs are the employment of models to display objects for others to see, especially in regard to wearing clothing while performing the role of a fashion model. A person can get modeling jobs to pose for purposes of art, for example in art school, or a person whose occupation is to display products, e.g.. a fashion model. There are two basic types of modeling jobs, Fashion and Print. For each, the visual requirements vary slightly. A good way to determine what your look may be, and if you are suited to go out for these jobs, look at publications, catalogues and print ads. To get modeling jobs as full time employment, it is recommended to get a model agent. To find more about how to get models go to model jobs.
Model needed The term model needed refers to companies or modeling agencies looking for models; many times the search is conducted through open calls. Usually a model open call audition is announced through the media and is held on a specific day or weekend, depending on the project and the turnout. Many modeling agencies use open calls to find fresh talent and new faces. Open casting calls also give a person who is casually thinking about modeling, a chance to try out, without needing the experience or agency help to be seen. To locate open calls in your area, go to model open call auditions.
