This is a super cute kid’s chair, but there’s something else pretty special about it: it is made from Ecothylene®, which is recycled plastic (check out YouTube for the video showing how it’s made or visit EcoBirdy directly.). It’s comfortable, light, and stable with a soft and friendly form. What else do you need for your kid’s drawing/making space? There’s a table, container, lamps, and sets available as well.

Do you still get a few bills in the mail? Perhaps you would have use of this elegant, small shelf. Hang it along its spine, and the top surface becomes an ideal landing spot for keys, with a shelf underneath for important mail. Hang it along its back, and it lies against the wall as a folder.

Have you seen the collaboration between LAND (League Artists Natural Design) and Blu Dot? LAND teaches life skills through art to adult artists with developmental disabilities, and I’ve got hearts for eyes (emoticon-style) on every single thing. All profits go directly to the artists and gallery, so, go for it: purchase with abandon. You’ll feel warm and fuzzy each time you stand on/sit on/pass by the item you choose.

If these pieces by Dino Sanchez remind you a teensy bit of childhood, you’ve picked up on the inspiration of elementary school desks. Note the small detail of wood peg joins, rounded corners and slightly chunky proportions. Endearing, aren’t they? And, if you’re prone to collecting, you’ll be happy to know that each bench and stool is marked as a numbered edition.

Take a look at this stacking barstool. It’s made from powder-coated steel sled legs and a molded plywood seat and is oh-so-minimal. Not impressed? Oh, and it’s under $200. Compare that price tag with another favorite barstool and it’s a downright steal. Choose between black, breezy blue, grey green, navy, oxblood, or white.

Can you ever have too many side tables? The answer is yes, of course, you can, but if you find that you’re often searching for an appropriate surface to set down a cold glass of water or a hot cup of tea, chances are that you need another one. The Cage Table by FUWL (Form Us With Love) is both storage unit and table. In addition to the table’s obvious useful surface, you might just find yourself storing magazines or a favorite throw underneath.

What’s better than a beach chair? One that rocks, of course. Dutch designer Erik Stehmann thought of this simple upgrade and chose a solid and varnished beechwood frame with a cotton seat for an outdoor-friendly combo. The rocker is both collapsible and stackable, so get a few for your favorite people!

This Corner Shelf by designer Kyuhyung Cho begins at the left, “a natural starting point to organise our thoughts and also our objects.” Hang the larger shelf vertically or horizontally (or place it on your desk) and use the medium and small elements to further divide and offset the space.

Did you know that the OGK Daybed was designed back in 1962? Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen created it for his son for their camping trips. It’s entirely portable and arrives in a linen bag with shoulder strap. No screws or tools are needed for assembly; you fit the parts together and twist the sisal ropes for tension and structure. Could it be your next favorite napping spot or impromptu guest bed? Yes and yes. Could you take it outside when the weather is nice? Of course!

Here’s another steel wall shelf to consider, and there are quite a few appealing colors, so, fair warning. Blush, Grey Green, Marine Blue, Putty, a deep Red, and the requisite black and white… just how will you decide? You have the choice of small (24″w) or large (40″), and there’s an added felt pad to make a softer landing spot for keys, phones, and other miscellanies.

Not many of us have room for an eight-foot-long dining table, but it sure is nice to see it exists in such a pared-down/minimalist style. And, if customizing the length isn’t enough for you, there’s quite a few material options: powder-coated or chromed steel legs, with a “straightforward” linoleum, laminate, or “swank” marble top.

Iskos-Berlin’s Soft Edge Stool for HAY may look like a simple seating option, and it is, but you’d do well to notice the ultra-thin, soft-formed seat, and how its edges bend away from the body to optimize comfort. The skinny steel legs are functional, yet they add to the stool’s sense of lightness. Might it be a good place to perch, tucked beneath a small writing desk, or arranged around a meeting table? It’s also stackable, which is a definite plus when floor space is tight.

This architectural little side table began as simple stock parts. MSDS Studio used conventional materials to create an unconventional leg arrangement, thus adding interest and symmetry in an unexpected way. Treat it as a functional side table and also as a “small, strict piece of sculpture.”

While your cat may be happy with a cardboard box, chances are you’d like something a bit more dignified. The Geobed is a fun piece for your furry friend; it’s easy to assemble and comes with a natural sheepskin for comfort. You’ll also want to consider the Anello Cat Bed, pictured below, and the Cube, which we have posted before.
