This is really not a bad price for a sectional. And what’s great about it is that you can buy different pieces for different configurations.

Scrapile crate and tray

We’ve posted stuff from the Scrapile guys before. If you’ve forgotten, here’s the run down. I think their work is pretty awesome. They take something that would have just filled our landfills and turn it into something useful and nice to look at. Also, they use non-toxic glue coupled with their intense woodworking skills.

“Each item is handcrafted and unique, and may contain a wide range of materials, including poplar, walnut, bamboo, plywood, yellow pine and cherry. The striations of the wood not only look fabulous, they also will pick up on and coordinate with whatever dominant wood color you have in your décor.”

Tray Measurements: H 3″ x W 12″ x L 18″

Crate Measurements: H 10.5″ x W 12″ x L 18″

Lublin Lounge Chair

Wow. The wood on this piece has a great glow (the result of a rubbed finish sealed with a clear varnish).

“The LL2 Lounge Chair deconstructs the ubiquitous upholstered lounge chair to its skeletal essence. The chair becomes a cage-like enclosure, implying a solid form but exposing the colorful wool fabric cushions. Made of solid wood with glass inserts at the top and bottom of the armrests to provide functional horizontal surfaces.

MEBEL’s wood is sealed with a clear varnish, which creates a natural rubbed finish. Unlike sprayed glossy lacquer, their pieces do not have an assembly line look or feel. This process also creates a durable surface which is easy to maintain. There is no need to use polish, cleaning with a damp cloth is best. Metal used is fully welded stainless steel tubing with a brushed finish. The dimensions for the storage cutout are 4″ high, by 24″ wide and run from the front of the piece, through to the back.”

Candlestick Maker

“With Candlestick Maker, the actual object is a 4″ diameter surface from which a repository for a candle emerges. It can be placed on virtually any other object – an empty bottle of household cleaner, and elegant wine stem, a vase… literally anything! By placing this piece on an object of your choosing, you actually create the candlestick.”

Normann CRYSTAL Carafe with 5 plastic cups

Plastic and crystal, two very different materials combined to make a winning combination (in this particular instance). I like the colors of the plastic cups too.

“A sculpted, transparent glass carafe complete with cups in colored plastic. The unexpected contrast between color and materials creates a dynamic between the cool and warm materials and the rigid lines and soft shapes.

(by Marcel Wanders, 2005)

Glass and plastic. Approx. 1 ltr.

Clipp Holder – Small (Set of 4)

These Clipps would be handy for displaying cards or photos, or any other miscellaneous papers you might have lying around. If you look closely at the photograph, you can see that the Clipp is actually bent from one piece of spring steel. The large size has a hole on one side so that you could hang it on the wall if you so desired.

Slott Upright Organizer

Here’s something different for your desktop- the color options would certainly spice up those files/ bills and make them a bit easier to look at. The five dividers slide into the slots, which, of course, make each space adjustable to fit your needs. Best of all, you have a choice between red, white or olive green powdercoated colors.

The 11 x 6 1/2 inch base comes with three large and two small espresso brown ABS plastic dividers.

Mood-Light Flat Tile

This would work well for a commercial installation and would be especially cool in the right residential application. I say this because it would probably work best in a room where the light it creates is the central focus, not the furnishings.

“The Mood-Light Flat Tile is a large square panel concealing LED’s that pulse and sweep in an infinite variety of colors. Create your own light scenarios and color combinations with the Mood-Light remote control. By changing the intensity of the primary colors red, green and blue you can blend unlimited color combinations. Preprogrammed sequences are included. You can display active light functions, random interchanging color combinations, rainbow color sequences, fusions of gradually changing colors and pulsating light. The sound mode displays color effects in sync with music beats. The Mood-Light Flat Tile has a flat diffuser with no outer frame, allowing groups to fit together to form a near seamless light wall. Multiple units can be installed together to create a wall of light. DMX version also available.
