There’s a new collection of pet furniture available, completely worth taking a look at if you’ve got some furry friends. All are lined with sherpa fleece and come in a variety of pleasing colors.

Shown left to right: Pod, Nest, and Podium.

Here’s a contemporary sofa that won’t break the bank. I like the super low arms.

“…a low, floating silhouette anchored by overscaled track arms and balanced on a minimal, gleaming stainless base.”

91.5″Wx37.5″Dx31″H

These hand made white oak or black walnut wall storage boxes can be customized to customers specifications.

They are made with traditional construction techniques with mitered joints.

“The Plateau Boxes are designed to frame objects in a natural, unobtrusive environment. Because they are blindly fastened to the wall, the boxes —and the objects they hold— exhibit a unique lightness of form. Each box is independent unto itself, so users can apply their creativity to configure the boxes on a wall.

Available in black walnut or riftsawn white oak, with sliding door and shelf options. Custom size and proportions available upon request, please call for details.”

Well known fashion photographer Fabien Baron has ventured into the realm of interior design with his sofa series for Cappellini with the same aplomb and sense of style with which he approaches all his work.

“consisting of an armchair and a series of sofas, benches, poufs and cushions, the extra sofa series maintains baron’s simple, yet stylish block design. these solid seating components are constructed of a satined stainless steel base with white nylon feet supporting a sturdy plywood and solid poplar frame with horse hair, coconut fiber, cotton wool and polyurethane foam padded upholstery and a fixed external cover available in a choice of colorful cappellini fabrics or leathers. a rectangular and a square cushion are also available.”

This chair strikes the perfect balance between traditional and modern- love the low seat and structured feel.

“Low to the ground profile seats wide on sleek, minimal cushions. High back encourages good posture, lets you lean your head back. Wing panels shelter with new abbreviation…Kiln-dried hardwood frame. Hardwood legs with espresso finish.”

Patina or Smoke.

Here’s a modern sofa available in two sizes and three great colors. I like the low back, tufted seat and tuxedo arms- it gives a very streamlined appearance.

Colors: Chalk, Guacamole, Dark Roast

Small Sofa- 82″ L
Large Sofa- 102″ L (add $200)

I don’t know why I’m surprised that this coffee table is kind of affordable- I guess it just looks like it should cost more. Seems like a deal.

This reissue of the 1950 original is perfect as a dining table or desk.

Materials: Legs are formed sheet steel with legs running diagonally on the outside, connected to a circular tubing central crossbar tubular, all metal parts with black coating finish; table top is cream HPL laminate with black HPL laminate edge.

COMPAS TABLE DIMENSIONS: 70.75″ long x 31″ wide x 28″ high

I went to the new CB2 opening in Manhattan the other day and was pleased to get to see this close up. It’s well constructed and generously proportioned.

“No matter how many times you relocate, redecorate, change linens, change wall color…our white wonder is wonderful. Padded and upholstered head to toe (even the side rails) in pure white all-cotton canvas pre-treated with a protective stain-resistant finish… Benchmade in the USA with the same quality and attention to detail as our upholstered sofas. Kiln-dried hardwood and wood composite frame.”

Queen Bed. 66.5″Wx91.75″Dx40.5″H (5.5″H from side rail to floor).

Update: This item is no longer available. (10/30/09)

This is the perfect sectional- very clean lines and an unscary price tag (considering all modern sectionals seem to be about $2000 more than a regular person can afford). Pillows are sold separately, so if you’re not so fond of stripes, don’t worry.

“Clean uni-height backs/arms angle deep to comfort. Overscale pieces work small spaces solo, or lofts in combination…Classic textured cotton in go-with-everything putty, double-needle stitched at the seams. Barely there T-legs in solid aluminum.”

• Kiln-dried hardwood frame benchmade in USA
• Sinuous wire spring suspension; foam cushioning
• 100% cotton fabric: putty
• Solid aluminum legs

Stunning table made from one sheet of beechwood.

“The yo-yo table was designed by Jakob Wagner for Moroso in 2004. Baring attractive curves and a pleasing shape, this table embodies true beauty through a minimal straightforward design.”

Given the 2003 Red Dot Design award, Jan Hoekstra’s Cookware Series is designed with some really cool features:

“Saucepan twists and locks in place so liquids can be safely poured from notches on either side. In addition to giving you the convenience of one-handed straining, the interior of this Saucepan has a convenient measuring gauge so you can see how much you’ve added or removed. The gauge is in metric, attesting to the collection’s European roots. For the cook with too little storage space (and who doesn’t?), Hoekstra’s Cookware is made to nest together for compact storage. Made with a heat-resistant coated exterior in a choice of three colors and stainless steel interior, this Saucepan is suitable for all types of heat sources, from gas to induction cook tops.”

I’m sort of flabbergasted by how awesome these are. Not only are they cool to look at, but they are made from 100% recyclable polypropylene, and can be used both indoors and out, even in wet environments. Available in both black and white.
