This 100% wool rug is so cheap I’m a little stunned.

I’ve long had a love affair with this little lamp. Designed in 1965 by Michael Lax, it remains a classic due to it’s simple design and localized light especially fitted for tableside/bedside reading. It’s available now in a limited commemorative edition from Lightolier.

“The telescoping neck adjusts from 6.5” to 15” and the lamp head swivels 360°. Light intensity can be changed from low to high using a switch located on the base. The heavy cube base anchors the design, and can be wall mounted for multi-directional sconce lighting.”

Available in Black, Persimmon, or White

To find an outdoor lounge chair under $250 is pretty good, but to find one that looks this good is great. Normally I’d prefer wood for the out-of-doors, but this particular design has me sold on aluminum.

“An elegant and classic ladderback aesthetic distinguishes the sleek Aero Collection from ordinary indoor/outdoor furniture. A smooth lacquer finish resists scratches for low-maintenance use indoors and out.”

This is pretty amazing.

“Archipi is a sculptural presence in high-gloss lacquered wood.

Originally based on a request from a customer, the challenge was to create a table without any visible joint, complete in high-gloss. The resulting piece is a product of a several week process, equally at home as a coffee table or in the garage next to your ferrari.”

This light casts quite a nice delicate glow…and the size of it would go anywhere. Plus, it simply just leans against the wall, so you don’t have to mess with mounting it (and you can move it around fairly easily).

I think this sideboard would fit the bill for storage/surface needs. It’s sleek and contemporary, has a nice large surface for depositing keys or office papers or food (or whatever else might strike your fancy), and it has nice options for the top. I’m not one to drop lots of money on just one thing, but it bears reminding that you usually get what you pay for, and I think this would be worth every penny.

Wood lacquered in silver. Mirror glass doors with aluminum frame. Top: wenge, bleached oak, cherrywood, white or silver lacquered

Holy cow, I like these so much. Completly worth the price in my book…they’d look great in a large entryway I think. Made of rubber, these hooks suspend from a metal wire and make your clothes look like they’re flying. So cool.

The panels of this credenza move around to display your worldly goods in a coy sort of way. The lower shelf is tall enough for lp’s and there are holes in the back sized perfectly for cords of all sorts.

This reminds me of the upstairs playroom of my daycare in the late 70’s. Totally in a good way.

I really like the geometric grid with the amorphous design layered on top.

“Koko Company Pillows. Cozy, delicate and wonderfully creative. Polysilk and georgette appliqué and embroidery. Koko is a celebration of natural fibers. Linen, cotton, raw silk fibers that breathe and give off an calm, pensive luster. The sturdy weave of the fabrics are lightened by the fluidity of hand appliqué, lace closures, cross stitch embroidery and novelty buttons.”

Designed by Paul Gurry, this suspension lamp proves that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a striking light source. 12 interlocking saw-blade shapes are assembled to create a this rather large lamp. Assembly time takes about 15 minutes.

I’ve seen this style of lamp everywhere lately. If you want a cheap solution, here’s a nice little bedside version.

What the heck? I saw this and it hit me up side the head, or whatever the saying might be. Spectacular and intriguing, indeed.

“Irregular and apparently random intersections of spatial planes create a volume around the light source and produce the dynamic character of the exuberant ceiling lamp designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez. By evoking the dynamism of an explosion, the methacrylic planes – available in the white or two-coloured (white/grey or white/red) versions – seem to escape the central luminous core and explode in all directions. A highly plastic luminous body, characterised by the intrigues of light and shade, of great visual impact and yet aerial, ideal for single-handedly personalising interiors of various styles.
Big Bang provides an intense, decisive and direct light. The particular arrangement of the surfaces guarantees maximum reflection and at the same time avoids dazzling, whilst offering a different lighting effect from all angles. ”

Available in White, Grey, or Red.

Size: Ø 37 3/4″, h. 78 3/4″ max

Unheard-of pricing for the Alu Headboard. I could afford this.

The upholstered headboard is usually $700 but the orange & red versions are only $299. The headboards tilt back from 0° to 30° to 45° for reading or watching tv. The headboard is actually slip covered so that gives those of you non-orange lovers an opportunity to buy it on the cheap while maintaining the option to take it to your local tailor to have it made in a different color.
