Sizing in at 5′ long, this coffee table would do a great job of filling up a room (if you’re lucky enough to need that sort of thing).

“Roughhewn planks of recycled wood are beautifully rustic, while iron caster legs add a modern feel. Perfect for adding a hint of nature to sleek spaces.”

“Originating from a rug proposal for No. 10 Downing Street, Christopher Farr’s Tide Rug has a (politically) neutral background with boldly colored lines that add a sense of spaciousness to larger rooms. The rug’s name refers to the sculpted lines that are created by ocean currents in the sand. Like all Farr’s designs, Tide is hand spun and handtufted of fine wool and manually dyed in small batches to create rich tonal nuances in the strands. It’s guaranteed to grow more beautiful with time as the wool’s natural lanolin emerges and invigorates the surface, creating enhanced luster over the years. Each rug is signed by the designer and numbered. Made in India.”

Hand-spun wool; cotton; latex.

Why, oh why are there still devices that are not Mac compatible?

“Inspired by the number pad on a keyboard, this calculator has all the standard features and can easily be connected to a laptop or PC via USB cable connection to add number-pad functionality. It can also be used independently. Not MAC compatible. One LR1130 battery included.”

The iron base of this round dining table seems to have more of a mid century flair to it- perhaps a set of vintage chairs would complement it nicely?

Quite similar in feel to the Twitchen Lampshade, this lampshade captures one of nature’s best saturated hues.

“Shades are constructed by laminating fabric onto a pvc parchment, then they use a hand rolling method to finish the edges. The shade is 10″ in diameter, top and bottom, and 8″ tall. These are lamp shades only, for table lamps or hanging ficture lamps. There is a universal metal ring that fits between the fixture and the lightbulb. 60 Watt max. The shade in photo has a removable protective plastic sleeve, so its clearer than shown.”

Yet another delightful wallpaper option…

Designed by Dan Funderburgh for Flavor Paper.
Blue and white on oatmeal clay-coated paper or Black and silver on chrome Mylar.
Each roll is 27 inches wide and 15 feet long. Priced by the roll.

If the comfort and credential of being in the permanent collection of the MoMA isn’t enough, I’m sure that the fact you can turn over this chair and show the credits to your friends will make the price tag a bit easier to swallow (at least in theory, right?).

‘Non has won numerous design awards and is featured in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Straight and simple in design, the stacking chair is comfortable thanks to the rubber it’s made of and the “built-in spring bands”. The underside of the chair features interesting molded rubber movie-style credits.
The chairs be stacked together to save space. NON can be used both indoors and outdoors. The pieces are completely waterproof and can be left outdoors permanently.’

In a seemingly surreal environment, Jimmy and Dena Katz have captured bizarre yet ordinary scenes from in and around the Salt Flats of northern Utah. The backdrop of such a unique landscape sets off characters and objects, saturating colors with sharp sunlight and providing the rare opportunity for an uncomplicated study of silhouettes.

“Again and again they discovered human possessions and personal obsessions flung onto the salt surface against undulating mountains and boundless sky. They became intrigued by the inventors who, with their hand-built hotrods, racecars, and rockets, participate in the annual rituals and races on the Salt Flats—making their own statement in the landscape.”

Yes, the price does seem more on the high side of what seems reasonable for a few side tables, but considering there are 10 of them, each one sporting different shades of neutral enamel tops, it doesn’t seem as bad..maybe because each one (if sold separately) would be $175.

“Driftwood spread across the shore is the impetus behind this unique design. The ultimate in modern nature, these low tables are fully functional, as they are fastened with metal and enamel tops. An inspired way to redefine and re-use earth’s creations. Natural.”

From 7 3/4″ to 15 3/4″.

Some mornings these would be entirely useful; just think, a quick look at yourself with a moustache or tattooed tears (depending on the day, of course) might give that extra infusion of self-confidence you need (and, how much would this be a mind-numbingly good gift for somebody?).

‘In need of some self-reflection? Designer Julie Ruiz has created this series of one-of-a-kind silk-screened hand mirrors that are sure to give you a whole new outlook. Each signed and dated piece is cut from mirrored Plexiglas in your choice of design: “The Mr.” is SILVER with a handlebar moustache – for those days when you’re feeling less than manly. And for all you softies out there yearning to be hard, try the “Thug Life” – GOLD with tattooed teardrops. Buy one for yourself, and one for your homeys.’

The metal mesh used for the body of this chair is so visually light it almost appears to be made from fabric netting. It’s almost a shame to categorize it as an outdoor piece (‘almost’ because I’m not complaining).

“The Round Collection designed by Christope Pillet is both simple and elegant with a flowing design sure to have timeless appeal. The Lounge Chair features a steel frame with a seat made of pre-galvanised metal sheet. All Emu products from the Advanced Collection come with a 5 year warranty.”
