I could scarcely believe my eyes when I saw the price on these two tables. Looks like a super deal.
UPDATE: Apparently, instead of $287.00 and $200.00, they’re $574.00 and $400.00…hopefully someone snatched them up when they were listed for less…thanks Ayse for letting us know.)

defined shapes. clean lines. simple geometry. the PAC table quietly inspires a room with its dynamic sense of style. the PAC’s unique, angular form is precisely created from a single sheet of steel.

Surprisingly, this chair was designed way back in ’05 and I’ve no idea why we haven’t posted it before. I like how it uses seatbelt scraps without weaving them together in a grid pattern (like so many other products).

If you have as much of a crush on Prouvé as I do, then you’ll appreciate these two links that’ll save you mucho denero (the list price is $250.00).

Today the oeuvre of French architect and designer Jean Prouve is considered essential to the history of twentieth century design. Prouve’s furniture designs were determined by the interior spaces the pieces would inhabit, and they developed in tandem with the Modernist principles of the “art of living” and “harmonious habitat” that were so characteristic of the time. This exquisitely produced and comprehensive volume, which was put together by Paris’ Galerie Patrick Seguin and New York’s Sonnabend Gallery–where Prouve was the subject of a critically-acclaimed 2003 solo exhibition–fills a hole in the existing scholarship, most of which focuses on Prouve’s architecture. It includes a collection of interviews with collectors and design professionals, a detailed biography of Prouve by his daughter, Catherine Prouve, and essays by design historian Raymond Guidot and architecture historian Catherine Coley.

I’m kind of loving the idea of using a plant as a light shade. If you don’t like the idea of soil above the dining table, you could always go with some air plants.

This lamp is an excellent choice for task lighting; 18 high-power LEDs make it brighter than other LED desk lamps and at full power it consumes only 9W (97% less energy than a task lamp using a comparable incandescent light bulb). Plus, it’s got a smart L-shaped base so it can stay at the corner of your desk without interfering with your workspace.

Designed for easy disassembly of minimal component parts enables reclamation and recycling, Link is an efficient, sustainable, cradle-to-cradle design. As in many of Stathis’ designs, great attention was placed on efficiency, both in conceptualizing the design as well as in its material realization. By utilizing the minimum number of component parts (all purposed for more than one function), and reducing their overall mass to only that which is deemed essential, a behind-the-scenes goal of hyper-efficient manufacturing and best environmental stewardship is achieved.

This is lovely (and somewhat affordable).

When filled with water, this shallow, double-walled ceramic bowl allows you to look deep within yourself. Safe for food, it also looks beautiful with floating flowers, candles, or simply sitting empty.

My favorite items are simple, beautiful, and functional…all of which apply to this basket.

“When we found this steamer basket we each thought, wow, cool basket, what is it for and then each of us came up with a variety of things to do with it: holding papers, fruit basket, beautiful object for the shelf, steaming food etc. Technically it is designed for steaming food by placing it in a pot with a small amount of water underneath, just as one would with any steamer. It is also nice for serving tempura with a small white paper between the basket and the tempura. We can think of a 100 ways to use this basket and are certain you will too. At the end of the day it is a beautiful object that takes on many applications.”

So very versatile- this table slides together to save space or expands when you need more surface area. To see more pictures (and a couple room setting shots) click here.

The Blues Coffee Table’s effortless rectangular form is purism with a practical plus, thanks to a sliding overleaf that doubles the length in seconds when you need more room, or vice versa. Lack of chic storage will never get you down with the Blues Coffee Table around.
