Any ideas on the maker of the couch in the picture?!

here is what I would do:
1. Build some sort of cover for the AC unit, or at the very least, build a small shelf on top of the unit to make it look a bit for finished.
2. Get a small bookcase or something the same height as the AC unit for in front of the other window.
3. Purchase (or better yet DIY) curtains that will hit at the top of both the AC unit and the bookcase, shelf, whathaveyou. Curtains can be made (Without a sewing machine) very easily! And Ikea has good options with iron-on hem tape included.

I would NOT suggest having curtains with two different lengths. I am suggesting curtains over blinds because you can then either leave them open (and they won't look silly covering the AC unit) or close them for less light/more privacy.

LOVE those living room curtains! Where are they from?!

Several of the comments about these chairs and, more specifically, the types of people these chairs invoke, illustrate a major defect in the fabric of our society. These chairs evoke disgust concerning poverty? Please. To quote mrsberg "For me, they symbolize a lifestyle of people who make up the worst of my local neighbourhoods, not because they are poor, but because they don't care, or were never taught to care, about taking care of their homes or yards, and who spend all hours smoking in front of their foul mouthed elementary aged children, while their neglected animals roam the streets. Sorry, they might be fun for someone else, but when i see them, I don't like what I see."

People in poverty don't always choose not to care. People in poverty are not afforded the luxury of being able to care for their lawns, pouring over home design or landscaping magazines and blogs to create a curb appeal for their home that appeases you, the judgy neighbor. People in poverty are often not afforded the opportunity to be educated, to afford food to allow their pets to live indoors, and often the culture that poverty reproduces is one of poor health habits (smoking) and perhaps foul language...but people in poverty are never given the opportunity to experience anything else, so this "poverty culture" gets reinforced and reproduced to younger generations of poverty-stricken youth. Your judgement on "those people" only serves to marginalize them further, so congrats on that.

As for the Monobloc? It is a chair. It works just as well as an Eames or what have you. Place that fancy Eames chair outside for a summer of BBQs and block parties and it will get dirty too. At least I don't have to feel bad about spray painting my Eames.

Using a chair to critique the ethics of those in poverty, though? Shame on you people, shame on you.

I will be looking forward to what others say as well! I love how white and dark pieces look together and have been wondering if "mismatching" is a no-no!
