These certainly aren’t new, but they are definitely worth a nod. Pantone has licensed a ton of great products in the past few years, making all of us color nuts quite happy to pick our favorite shade of mug, bag, etc. This stool would be perfect for a little jolt of color in seating options.

Big Game is one to watch out for these days; they’ve got a great collection of home furnishings that’s both interesting and edgy (and not too terribly expensive).

Light and versatile, the Box stool has one hole in the center of the seat to make it easy to move around.

Is anyone reminded of Studio Mama’s pallet furniture plans? If you were intrigued by the plans, but not the DIY type, you’ll be happy to see these, especially considering there are surface color options. When both table and chair are folded flat they can stack together for storage.

Looks like a nice canopy bed for a bedroom, right? Well, get this, it can also double as an outdoor cabana near the poolside. Not that you would move it back and forth or anything, but it’s nice to know it would stand up to the elements with no problem. And what does PCH stand for? The Pacific Coast Highway in California, of course.

You probably recognize this little sideboard as a collaboration between designer Sebastian Wrong and artist Richard Woods.

59″ x 16″; height: 25.25″

Also, just so you know, the least expensive item in the collection is the Wrongwood’s Night Table with the price tag of $2,170.00… bad news for the budget conscious.

Yep, the butt stool. Designed by Established & Sons, it’s stackable and plastic (outdoor/storage points) plus it’s got an ergonomic top that you’ll recognize from tractor seats. Three holes drilled in the top make it easy to lift and move.
