With its metamorphic gem-like look, it is bringing the jewel from mother earth into your living room. It can be used indoors or outdoors. Its light is soft and mood creative. It sits now as my coffee table–quick to turn into an entertainment bench at a moment's notice.</p><br /><table width="200" border="0"><br /> <tr><br /> <td><a href="http://exteriordecorating.com/blogimages/meteor.jpg"><img src="http://exteriordecorating.com/blogimages/meteor.jpg" alt="home page" width="243" height="264" /></a></td><br /> <td><a href="http://exteriordecorating.com/blogimages/meterolight-web.jpg"><img src="http://exteriordecorating.com/blogimages/meterolight-web.jpg" alt="home page" /></a></td><br /> </tr><br /></table><br /><p class="style1">If you want sophisticated on your city perch, the modular easy chair &quot;Bikini&quot; by Franco Bizzozzero is easier than you think. No cushions to remove, with a playful highend look, these chairs bring out the best in care free living. They remind me of an old hotel chaise lounge with a new spin.</p><br /><p class="style1"><a href="http://exteriordecorating.com/blogimages/picture_530.jpg"><img src="http://exteriordecorating.com/blogimages/Bikini.jpg" alt="home page" width="605" height="401" /></a></p><br /><p class="style1">Another take on something old that has been redesigned with fresh new life, is the director's chair.
