Sometimes, it is necessary for one to refurbish their office(s). It may not necessarily be a main priority but refurbishing can and will create a unique and tasteful image about one’s company. In such circumstances, getting hold of someone who designs artful and elegant pieces of furniture may just do the job. Speaking of elegant pieces of furniture, the best way to create a sophisticated image is to bring a really chic table to their office. Seen here is a RABOBANK Boardroom table designed by the eminent designer Lee J. Rowland. At first look, this table seems to depict the artist’s dream.
Held and supported by five pillars, the boardroom table can come in any color or shade. This elegantly designed table is not only beautiful but also unique in its own way. It is made of polyester resin and chromed steel, thus weighing a whopping 650kg. Measuring at 4500mm by 800mm, this table does take up quite a lot of space but it will surely catch the attention of many. This luxurious boardroom table retails at $68,188.

Pininfarina, the Italian car design firm, is best known for their luxury car projects like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati GranTurismo but they have recently extended their design expertise to produce a top-of-the-line office chair, the Aresline Xten.
The world’s most expensive office chair costs $1.5 million and has been created for the uber rich CEO’s for the Middle East luxury market.
The exorbitant price is due to expensive material used for cushioning called Technogel which conforms to the body’s contour which reduces seating pressure and fatigue by 60%. Also, Dynatec, a fabric well-liked by Olympic athletes for making you sweat free, covers the chair.
The chair is available in a variety of shades.

The first auction devoted solely to contemporary design will take place at Christie’s in New York this autumn.
“It really is an increasingly popular market,” said Carina Villinger, design specialist of Christie’s New York. “There is a huge overlap with contemporary art. It has got to the point where we need a separate auction.
The Christie’s sale will feature items such as a polyurethane table by the London-based Iranian architect Zaha Hadid, who designed the aquatics centre for the London Olympics, estimated to raise $200,000.
Another lot will be a highly polished steel sofa by the British-born Israeli designer Ron Arad for $300,000. Arad’s work will be exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York next year.That sofa is made of steel that’s polished to match the reflection of a real mirror!
