Such a perfect little table- indoors or out.

“When designing his Pix Table (2002), Peter Schaffner had four specific goals: The table had to be multipurpose, timeless and space saving, as well as easy to assemble. The ingenious result is a patented table that has only three parts: a plate (or tabletop) and two x-shaped components that form the base. When assembled, the rim of the plate clicks into place over the stable, four-footed base…

The polyester powder coating ensures durable weather- and UV-resistance, and makes Pix suitable for indoor and outdoor use. In less than a minute, Pix can be set up or disassembled and stored flat.”

Available in Red, Green, or Anthracite

H 18″ Diameter 24″

This simple little stool works well in a bedroom as a sidetable or in spaces where you could use multiple seating options.

The Penta chair is nicely structural as well as surprisingly form-fitting.

“The faceted form of the PENTA Chair consists of several metal panels covered and sewn together in high-quality black leather. Thin metal rods form the base of the chair providing stability and strength while retaining a slender profile. PENTA Chairs are equally at ease around the breakfast table or the conference table.”

Metalic finish stools are available in chocolate, vanilla, pewter and bronze.

“The stools have a soft curve for comfort and the table’s flat surface holds a drink. At 17” high and 21” diameter, they’re happiest in multiples (like a forest), so think of them for your next project, or wherever people like to have a little fun. Timber Stools are produced using a Gelcoat finish. Gelcoat is a material used to provide a high quality finish on the visible surface of a fiber-reinforced composite material. The fiberglass understructure, provides the structural integrity, is also colored, incase severe scratching should reveal the understructure. Surface scratches can easily be buffed out with polishing compound. Many boats are produced with Gelcoat over fiberglass, and the Corvette sports-car exterior body has been produced with this type of material since its inception.

All metallic finishes are actual metal powders suspended in the Gelcoat top layer. Metallic finishes will further oxidize overtime adding to their beauty.”

This duvet cover has a twist on the typical botanical damask with animal prints: deer, peacocks and more.

Originally posted back in ’07, this smart storage stool deserves another look.

The multi-faceted metal frame provides a sturdy table surface and doubles as a portable stool. The exterior of the table is covered in high-quality black leather which adds a level of warmth and luxury to the overall design. Remove the top half of the table and reveal a storage compartment for magazines, DVDs and other incidentals.

This new bedding from Dwell is a modern interpretation of the 17th century artistic style which is the European interpretation of Chinese decortive styles.

I certainly don’t want to overwhelm you with a price tag (be forewarned), but this might be worth the investment if you’re wishing for a bed that’s unlike anything else out there. Quite impressive.

“The Rune Bed creates a dialogue between the geometry of the form, with an implied cube that reflects its ornamentation into itself.”

Solid Poplar.
