The stitch print on these ‘blocks’ would really give a feeling of texture to a room, and considering how easy the fabric is to care for it’s a no brainer for kids or pets.

The fatboy avenue can be arranged into any imaginable seating arrangement including an island, snake, or circle, providing you with your own personal lounge. The chic design is ideal for any space, from your office to your outdoor patio. The different shapes of the avenue include a square design, called the first avenue, and a quarter circle design, called the second avenue. Each of these models is available in a geometric stitch print, “the block”, or a floral stitch motif, “the parc.”

The ever popular wine rack by Harry Allen is now available in your favorite color (wine-wise).

Recycling your wine bottles has just taken on a new meaning. This tongue-in-cheek rack consists of four bottles, halved in two and cast as a single piece. Capable of accomodating up to six bottles, it is available in black, red wine (transparent) and white wine (transparent gold) versions. Other than its exceptional beauty, it also works to create the illusion of a much more extensive wine collection than what’s necessarily true… especially when you run out.
