Perfect for beach homes, especially with surfing inhabitants is the Duffy London 'Surf-ace Table and Bench' ensemble created to seat water sport-loving individuals.
These elegantly designed tables and chairs are like the widescreen aspect to indoor home decor. Featuring large surface area just like the width of a surfboard and razor thin edges, the pieces could even look futuristic. They are made from balsa wood, which is bent smoothly to make them look extremely sleek. Instead of using a regular four-legged foundation design, the ensemble literally looks like boards that have been bent from either end to hold themselves up. Surfers, well, water-lovers in general, will love to have this set of furniture to complete any oceanic home decor theme.
