Can wood get any sexier than this??

One of my favourite bloggers is Tareq from Jordan. He designs the most amazing furniture for his company, qerat. I posted about some of his sexy work last March. Well, Tareq has been hard at work since then designing even more amazing and sexy furniture, and I just have to share it with you. Take a look at these beauties, starting with the Half a Basket wall-mounted table (Click the pics to read Tareq’s description of each piece):half a basketLOVE his Circles Circles coffee table. Although all his production people apparently hate him for designing it — not an easy piece to put together!! But I think the end result is worth all the effort, yes?? :-)

These are only some of Tareq’s gorgeous pieces. I highly recommend checking out his blog qerat and Qerat London to see his other amazing creations. Tareq’s blog is a fascinating collection of furniture, art, architecture, and life in and around Jordan.

Sexy furniture from qerat… Ooooh-la-la!!!

I recently discovered qerat, one of Patricia Gray’s Top 10 New Interior Design Blogs.
OOOOH-LA-LA. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such fabulous and creative wood furniture before!! And the wood… the gorgeous, smooth, supple, exotic wood… I just want to run my hands all over it and feel its silky smoothness!!!

Tareq is the principle of qerat (located in Amman, Jordan), and he also writes the blog. You can read an interview with Tareq at Meade Design Group to learn more about this amazing and talented designer.

These are some of my favourite qerat/Tareq pieces (all pics from qerat).

Apostrophe Table

Tareq came upon the inspiration for this table completely by accident. He meant to make the title of an article he was writing bold with a larger font, but instead he mistakenly clicked another work that happened to have an apostrophe in it. He kept enlarging the apostrophe, and realized that the beautiful and fluid shape of the apostrophe was a table design in the making!!

Exclamation Table

Inspired by—what else—the exclamation mark!! Which just happens to be my favourite punctuation mark :-) It’s made out of natural Ebony & Macassar. Is it wrong to have erotic thoughts about a table?? Because these sexy, curvy lines are just BEGGING me to caress them!!!

Haji Bookcase

This is one funky bookcase!! It’s made from ebonized and natural oak and has thick glass shelves that extend past the sides of the bookcase. Mount this baby on the wall and pile on the books!!

4 Curves Bed

The headboard is made from four concave natural wenge squares. Each square is 1 meter x 1 meter and the total height is 2.40 meters — that’s one big headboard!!

Libra Console

If you read last week’s Hooked On… Circles post, you know that IHEART1CIRCLES. And now you know that wood furniture with curvy lines turns me on… so do I really need to tell you how much I ADORE this super-sexy, curvy console table?! Hot, hot, HOT!!!!! 8-)

Whew!!! After all that swooning, I need to sit down and pull myself together!!!! Maybe on this sleek chair from the Marlene Collection…
