If you’ve been looking for a simple platform bed, but haven’t fell in love with anything yet, take a second look at this one. It has excellent proportions (just the right amount of thickness around the edges) and a lovely semi-subtle grain. I’ve got a hunch it might be of better quality than some of the other platform beds in the same price range kicking around out there…

“Veneered in either wenge-stained oak or in Ovangkol, a West African hardwood with a moderately course grain, the rich colors of this bed coordinates with a variety of other woods. All sides are finished and the frame stands 12″ off the ground, higher than many platform beds, for a visually bolder profile. The recessed legs each have a metal plate at the bottom to further the floating look that’s become a trademark of Novati’s designs. The deck is constructed of wood slats woven together with nylon strips for a combination of assured suppleness and enduring strength. ”

Another awesome display of conspicuous consumption by Tobias Wong.

I thought this was noteworthy because it is extremely affordable. Also, the upholstery is felted wool and not some of the cheaper upholstery you might expect on an economical choice such as the Anna Loveseat.

“Anna is an enigma, part dramatic, part pragmatic yet fully sophisticated. Sleek, urban design features a low profile that surrounds you with dense foam cushions and soft felted wool. Attached cushions. Durable hardwood frames with chrome legs.”

This chair has a nice linear silhouette without being too presumptuous…it has a more utilitarian modernism about it.

Inspired by the Rorschach inkblot tests, these felt rugs probably look pretty amazing in person–though it’s a little difficult to tell from this photo.

Do you have a matte black glass sake set from Sugahara? No? Well, get on it then. Would be an excellent gift for anyone with an appreciation of sake, or sushi, or small, nicely made things.

Sweet Grace over at Design*Sponge just sent me an email about the new Threadless Bliks.
Threadless is the t-shirt site that has submissions from contestants.
Blik is the site that sells cool wall decals.

It’s like those Reeces Peanut Butter ads from the late 70’s. Hey, you got your Threadless in my Blik.

I have no idea what this is made out of (acrylic?), but it sure is pretty.

This sofa is custom made with your own fabric. You provide 8 or 9 yards of your favorite material (depending on if you choose the 2 or 3 seater) and 8 to 16 weeks later, you get your sofa.

“Frame of chromium-plated steel. Upholstered hardwood frame, upholstery of polyurethane with padding. Cover of fabric (removable).

Juno looks good from every angle. lt thus deserves to be placed in a dominant position: free-standing in the room and accessible from all sides. You can even sit on the wide backrest.

The sofa thus becomes a spontaneous, communicative meeting place.The single loose cushion creates an interesting asymmetry – and it is always there as an armrest where it is needed.”

Sometimes a product comes along that renews my hope in current design and escalates my heartbeat…and this very mirror is one of those products. I really can’t imagine regretting any dollar spent in order to own it.

I sat in this leather chair yesterday and it’s surprisingly comfortable. I almost wanted to buy it. But I have no space for a leather armchair. But if I had a space for it I guarantee I would have taken that thing home with me.

Not a bad price for a little bamboo stool…

“The XOX Stool is the perfect companion for kitchen tables, entryways or anyone else where you desire a simple, elegant stool. Constructed in the U.S. of Bamboo, the XOX features a slot-together design that makes it easy to assemble or take apart for quick storage or transport. Treated with a non-toxic, water-based finish.”

16″ round x 18″ tall

Such a nice shape, and it’s made out of environmentally friendly bamboo, so you’ll feel good about it whenever you sit down.

“The Bambar Stool is the perfect countertop complement. A crossbeam provides a conveient footrest at the base. Constructed in the U.S. of Bamboo and treated with non-toxic, water-based finishes.”

These stools are understatedly elegant AND affordable. I can picture them in an office, used as dining chairs, or even just in a living room as extra seating. Currently on sale, the Taburet M Stacking Stool is available in Birch, Cherry and Black.

“The Taburet M Stacking Stool is almost pure abstraction, making minimum impact on space and redefining “seat” in the simplest sense. Yet, the stool is quite substantial, offering a low, comfortable seat suited to a retail setting, showroom, gallery or reception area. The Taburet M Stacking Stool was designed by Danish craftsman/designer Jorgen Moller, who, along with Bruno Mathsson, became one of the early leading exponents of modern Danish design. Like Mathsson, Moller sought new solutions rather than drawing from tradition,and created light, minimal structures.”
