Gone are the days of needing six people to help extend the dining table for entertaining. Four people to help lift and open the 300lb table and two to carry the multiple leaves out of the storage unit you had to purchase, just to have a place to keep them.

The name of this table says it all, “Motion”. The mechanism allows for quick and easy access to a completely extended table. With one quick tug on the table, the glass tops open and a contrasted wooden leaf pops up from the center. The table goes from seating six to seating eight or ten in a matter of seconds. This table has it all, Style and Function.

The Avion line from BDI combines smart styling with practical audio/video component storage. This 65"-wide media center features an attractive, contemporary real wood design, and it supports most flat-panel or big-screen projection TVs. With an optional mounting bracket, you can secure your flat-panel TV above the cabinet without drilling into your wall. Remote transferable glass-panel doors elegantly show off your system while you surf through channels.

Inside the cabinet are adjustable shelves, as well as wire channels that let you neatly route your system's cables. There's even a center drawer for small accessories that you can remove to make way for more components. The media center stays well-ventilated to keep your components running cool, even with its doors closed. Hidden wheels allow you easily move the cabinet away from the wall for cleaning your system or hooking up a new component.

The avion comes in different finishes and sizes, and has optional models that accommodate its design. Choose one and you will not be disappointed.

Clean lines, comfort within, numerous options; what more can you ask for? The Nicole sofa by Natuzzi is one of their models that can either be contemporary or traditional depending on the upholstery placed on it. It can be ordered in leather, fabric, or micro-fiber and there are many wood options for the legs.

The Nicole can be ordered as a sofa, loveseat, chair, and finally as a small sectional.

This summer, Hip was honored to participate in ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition show. The beautiful contemporary home was built by Portland based Legend Homes.

Hip donated most of the furniture that went into the Extreme Oregon home. Since there isn’t much of a time line, it made this a large task, one that we weren’t sure we were going to be able to do. Luckily the designers picked most of the product from stock, but there were items that needed to be ordered. With most of our products manufactured overseas, it made the thought of ordering, a scary one. Once our suppliers and shippers knew what we were doing, they all wanted to help. They did everything they could to get product to us, in time for the reveal.

Once all of the products arrived, it was time for the move-in. We loaded everything into our delivery truck, van and wagon and made the drive to Corvallis. Once on site, it is like nothing you have ever seen. A sea of blue shirted volunteers, doing whatever they could, whenever they could, to get the house done for the next day reveal. It was also amazing to see the amount of spectators that couldn’t be volunteers, standing around in 100 degree weather, giving their support.

The Byers look like your typical American family: a hard-working dad (Rob), a doting mom (Rachel), two rowdy boys (Chris and Joe) and a sassy little sister (Jenessa, or “Boey,” as she is called). But in January 2006, Boey, now eight, was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive childhood cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma which has a 70% survival rate. Not ones to be defeated, this loving, spirited family banded together for the fight of their lives. Not only has “little warrior” Boey (another nickname) endured nearly a year of chemotherapy and radiation, she has also been outspoken about combating cancer. In June, in between stays at the Children’s Cancer Center at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, Boey asked Oregon Senator Ron Wyden to cosponsor the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act.

Though the brave Byers are admirably united in rallying around Boey and advocating for progress in pediatric cancer treatment, her medical bills have left them broke. The family’s old, fixer-upper house that Rob planned to transform into their dream home remains in disrepair and, even worse, is dangerous to Boey’s fragile immune system. Asbestos has been removed from the house, but it still contains toxic mold, a faulty electrical system, dry rot, an unstable foundation and broken windows. Brother Joe, who has Asperger Syndrome (a form of autism), suffers asthma attacks triggered by the home’s toxins—which also requires medical treatment. Rachel forbids her children access to hazardous parts of the house.

Updated information: Unfortunately Boey lost her battle with Cancer on Friday, December 28th, 2007. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Byers Family during this difficult time.
