Now, here’s a desk for limited space…at 34″ wide, you can fit it in a closet if you so desire (though you might not want to since it looks so nice). It’s got a roll-out keyboard tray and a hole in the back to put your unsightly wires through.

Available in white, fire engine red, and risk-averse grey.

Update: This item is no longer available through original retailer.

Madeleine Rogers designed these nice pendant lamps just for you. Kinda.

This particular bed is high gloss lacquered MDF with a fully finished back and chrome plated metal tubing. The downside is you have to assemble it, but the upside is the price.

Available in red or white.

These porcelain teacups are stellar. Would be a super good gift for someone that loves to drink tea, or that loves to drink anything else.

Sold in a set of 6 different designs.

Okay, so since I mentioned the stacking cubes, I think it’s necessary to mention that you can also get these shelves, which are sold as a set of three (nested).

Have you ever been lost in a new city and tried to read a map? And then when it came time for you to figure out which way north was, did you look for the sun and try to remember if the sun sets in the east or west? Well, I have. And it’s confusing. Avoid the trouble with this compass ring.

Sterling Silver

This lightweight freestanding wall can be arranged any way you like it and can easily be compressed and stored. The felt ends also have velcro fasteners that allow you to link walls together.

Available in two heights, 78″ or 45″

I once saw an old original for almost 3x the price of this one- and it was a little beat up. I’m all for originals, and I really am into buying from nice and small resale shops, but sometimes saving money is slightly more important.

Man, this thing is magic. No staples! Safer, cheaper, recycling-friendly…and at this price it makes switching better for your budget.

Staple-Free Stapler

Crumpled blue-print by Tibor Kalman

Silk-screened rigid vinyl

Though a bit pricey, I like it…”The attempt was to create a chair and table by using its ‘skin’ rather than its ‘body’ by extruding its outline. The result is a line of furnishings which are defined more by what is not there than what is.”

Ottoman available separately

Continuing on in the spirit of beds I love but definitely cannot afford, this would definitely be on my top 5 list. Plus, the guy seems to have a good goal.

Stack ’em any way you want. Configure ’til your heart’s content. Each hive cube is sold separately for about $89 ($72 on sale), so I guess the way it’s shown here would be around $712. I’d say that’s alright for a unique shelving set, wouldn’t you?

Available in white or unfinished walnut

This inconspicuous little tag from Vessel affixes to your sleeve when you don’t feel like wearing a watch.

Yep, I know it’s good. Problem is that it’s hard (for me) to figure out how much it is or how to get it.
