The past influences the present- as seen here in the William & Mary Metro Cafe Chair and End Table. I tend towards really appreciating products that meld old styles with new; somehow it gives a sense of history to homes without sacrificing a clean aesthetic.

Materials: Layered birch plywood, hardwood accents and veneer on outside profiles.
Available in Maple veneer on birch or walnut veneer on birch

cb2 is having a rug sale, and you’re going to have to check it out because there are some really good prices on things. For example, this rug shown above in 8×10 is $199! That’s really not bad for a rug that size. Trust me.

•Repeating natural pattern on a deep charcoal grey/green background
•Handwoven
•Wool-cotton blend

Now here’s a nice little side chair that would do quite nicely in a living room or office.

Available in leather and microfiber.

26″ L x 35″ D x 32″ H

The entire Vega line is made to order, delivery time for this item is generally 4-6 weeks.

I love this chest of drawers. It’s made of quickly growing bamboo, so that can make us all feel good about purchasing it. And another cool thing is that the drawers open with a push latch: press and they slide toward you.

These industrial strength magnets can be placed on any wall and hold up to two knives each.

The magnets are enclosed in stainless steel with non-slip rubber fronts.

These vases are made entirely out of recycled newspaper and aluminum. Since they’re bound like a book, you can pull apart the pages to see what’s on them, and, of course, the aluminum insert is removable for easy filling.

Radiator vase measures 6-1/2″ wide x 8″ high.
Pumpkin vase measures 11″ wide x 6 1/4″ high.

The tray lifts off and the base is made of polished Nickel. I’m trying to think of why one would need a lift off tray table. Since the top is 36″ x 36″, I think that’s too big to serve any purpose other than cleaning out the tray. Well, it’s a nice table, anyway.

Quite fun, no?

The Risom Lounge Chair (1941) is the first chair to be designed for Knoll. Even better, it comes with the GREENGUARD™ certification for sustainable materials and manufacturing.

Each piece is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and the designer’s signature.

This was designed as an affordable way to filter out the harsh light of a lone bulb. Attractive on one bulb, and even more so on several bulbs. This won an award in ID magazine.

Here they are en masse at Bergdorf Goodman.

Extra long and nicely narrow, this console has discreet wheels on the legs for mobility. It’s even wide enough to place over a full or queen size bed so you can set your laptop, book, or breakfast (or whatever else) on it and still remain safely snug.

Am I crazy or is this coatrack so much better when it’s red? Maybe the color red makes it look more contemporary? Hmm? You be the judge.

“Crafted of carefully joined bamboo and other exceptionally strong woods, this classic rack offers sturdy support for a dozen guest or family coats. The stable base serves as a rack for umbrellas. Nylon glides protect floors.”

Available in Espresso, White, or Red.

This would be voted “easiest light fixture to install”. No directions necessary (except for you read-everything-twice-before-picking-up-the-drill) since you just screw in the curved aluminum piece to the wall, and then clip in the reflective bulb. All that’s left is plugging the cord into an outlet. See? Super easy.

7″ tall, 2.5″ wide, and 8″ in depth

(8’ white cordset and a 40w bulb are included in the price)
