What nice legs you have, little table. And it’s made of Environ, which is a biocomposite of recycled paper pulp. I haven’t heard of that before, but it sounds good and responsible.

Color: Midnight (shown) or Sunset.

24″H x 24″D

I thought this was a delightful little table with an equally diminutive price.

“Sturdy, compact design with a clever rim keeps items contained. Perfect choice for bedroom, living room or any small space. Laminated wood top with birch veneer. Metal, chrome-plated base.”

“Echoing the soft curves of mid-century modernism, Omar de Biaggio’s compact B-Pop Side Chair (2003) brings a sense of wit and impeccable styling to beech ply and stainless steel tubular seating.”

Indeed. I couldn’t say it better myself.

Beech plywood with melamine laminate; 18mm steel tubing with satin chrome finish.

H 30″x W 22.5″x D 19″, Seat H 18″

This is a really nice design that looks timeless and will surely last long enough to pass on to your children’s children.

I love this bed. It’s low, it’s modern, it’s perfect. Green’s not my favorite color, but I’ll take it, no complaints. I bet I would even buy something else green just to make it make sense in my house. There other colors too, of course.

I like the undulation implied in these benches.

“Bo Bedre award-winning design by Yuriko Takahashi in 2003. Beautifully molded solid wood veneer, Twister stools can be ganged to form a bench. The ganging device kit contains two pieces for the length and 2 pieces for the width. Crafted in Denmark.”

Above photo shows 5 stools connected by 4 ganging device kits.

Available in birch or with a black satin finish and with either a left or right side configuration.

This bench would be great as a impromptu coffee table or a little seat when necessary. It would work well in an office or library too.

38l x 18d x 19h
stained solid birch/microfiber

Truly a sculptural furniture piece. It was designed in the late sixties, and it’s worth mentioning that an original version sold at a Christie’s auction for $20,000 in 1999.

It’s made of a plywood shell with cushions on both the seat and back.

[Thanks Bo!]

This chair caught my eye, as most red modernish chairs do. It’d be a great accent chair in any room, or used in multiples around a dining table. Either way, it’s a winner.

Ming Square is available in Red, Black, Natural, Apricot, Dark Espresso, Ivory, Olive Green and Mahogany Finishes. Made of solid wood and Birch Veneer, hand stained and machine polished with Polyurethane coat.

24w x 18d x 26h. Seat: 17.75h

Yep, it’s a bit more than maybe most of you would like to spend on a coffee table, BUT it’s made out of recycled paper and it’s freaking cool. Save your pennies and it’ll be worth it, trust me.

“Recycled newsprint boards cut and fused to create a coffee table to hold your current reading materials. With the addition of new magazines the form of the table is complete. “

Solid: 16h x 12w x 40l

From the studio of Joe Columbo (currently being run by Ignazia Favata) comes the Spinny Cabinet which rotates around a central spine. Also available is a wall mounted version. I am pretty excited about that one. I think it would not only be visually stunning but also think of how convenient it would be.

49.2” h | 29.1” dia.

This might be the perfect bed. Low to the ground with button tufting, it’s just the right amount of style without pretense (clean lines/mid-century mondern styling will win my heart every time).

Oh, I do believe this little shelf is worth highlighting. The unfinished edge gives it a nice natural texture and makes it a bit more special than just any ol’ modern floating shelf.

“Made from colonial-era railroad ties which have been procured from Northern India, these recycled solid teak shelves have been waxed and polished to a deep sheen. No two pieces are alike. The width of each shelf may vary. Wall-mounting hardware is included. Not recommended to support heavy weight.”

18″ l x 5″-7″ w x 2″ h

If you’re looking for a chair with subtle worsted wool upholstery, the Ray chair is a good option and on sale. Also available in grey.

Occasionally I’ll run across a better picture of a product that we’ve posted from long ago (in this case, March of ’06), and it’s only right to update the post so that you as a reader have a better idea of what’s available in today’s market. Most often the price will be a far cry from the original, but happily, this console is still available from one retailer for the same price of $300, while another has it priced at $620. I guess it pays to shop around, huh?

Three-legged console table, inspired by the rock and roll antics of the legendary Mr. Keith Moon. For all wall types. Solid oak finished with a clear matte lacquer.

Dimensions: 28 x 28 x 11.5 inches
