AVL Shaker Dining Tables

Holy. Talk about some markdowns…If you need a table, these are some prices that are sure to please.

“Following in the Shaker tradition, the AVL pieces are substantial, uncomplicated and practical. Through their combination of solid and veneered oak or beech wood and generous proportions, the designs communicate a sturdy architectural character. The large, broad Rectangle Dining Table seats six to eight people with room to spare…The square table offers frank lines with a small footprint right for tight spaces or as an addition to existing dining solutions. Table seats four.”

20-06 Chair-Limited Edition

Not many chairs can boast weighing 5.5 lbs, much less being made out of 80% recycled aluminum. If you are contemplating purchase, there’s also the fact that a numbered run of 500 chairs was made exclusively for DWR, so these chairs are a limited edition and have a number engraved on their backs (2/500, 3/500, etc.). That might sweeten the deal for those of you that like “collecting” furniture.

Room Dviders

These Room Dviders are a great way to “multipurpose” a space. (If you will allow me to use an adjective as a verb.)

If you choose, you can also adorn the room dividers with the vinyl stickers that are so popular with the kids these days.

Eiffel Bookcase

This is labeled as children’s furniture, yet looks to be suitable in most rooms with storage needs. Storage pieces can be somewhat difficult to choose, and often quite more expensive than most of us are able to budget for, so finding something that is environmentally conscious and under the grand mark is worth considering. Take note of the dimensions, though, since it is made on a smaller scale…

“The Argington line of children’s furniture unites contemporary aesthetics with a healthy, non-toxic and environmentally conscious outlook. The Eiffel Book Case is made of highly durable Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified sustainable birch wood with a 100% non-toxic, water-based finish. The Eiffel Book Case has interchangeable doors and cases, and features loads of storage space, including an open center for books and other play objects accessible to children.”

60″ wide x 38″ tall x 12.5″ deep

Available in four colors: white, birch, walnut, and red maple
Door colors and cases are interchangeable

Thomas Pedersen: Stingray Rocking Chair

This is a great modern, interpretation of the classic rocking chair.

“A modern, dynamic piece of furniture built for comfort and which accommodates a variety of sitting positions. The shape of the rocking chair was partially inspired by a shell. This gives it a beautiful organic design which is raw on the outside but smooth and refined on the inside. A piece of furniture that provides a unique experience of inner tranquillity.

The steel frame has been constructed without any transverse lines thus accentuating the floating appearance of the chair.”

The shell is made of vacuum-suctioned high gloss plastic shell and comes in black or white.

Material: High Gloss 7mm Plastic Shell & Metal.
Dimensions Chair: W 33.5 D 43.3 H 28.3

droog highchair by maartje steenkamp

Droog is so delightfully witty. It appears that you can select the height of your highchair depending on your baby’s tollerance. Perhaps you are a giant and you’d like to see your baby eye to eye? Whatever the case, this is truly insane and I am enchanted.

Aura Table Lamp

It’s slightly hard to tell exactly what’s happening with this lamp, and I suppose that’s part of the appeal…

“Making a modern design statement whether on or off, Aura features a polycarbonate shell and uses a full-range dimmer to create the perfect level of brightness. By Pablo Pardo.”

Nestle Coffee Table

The dovetail joints give this coffee table a strong link to traditional furniture making while the overall design is undeniably modern. It remains simple, but the subtle curve of the legs sets it slightly higher on the list of tables to appreciate.

Made from heavy solid oak with refined finger joint cabinetry.

Console and nesting tables also available separately.
