Check out this wrinkly chair (that most of us will never be able to afford).
The “Sponge” chair represents the debut of young Dutch designer Peter Traag, a graduate of London’s Royal College. Its shape, inspired by sea sponges, is the result of a technological innovation that allows it to obtain a firm yet invitingly soft seat. Polyurethane foam has been injected directly into an overly large “upholstery” shell, which has been reinforced by a special fluorocarbon polyester thread. This production technique results in a unique chair, forming “elephant-skin” random folds that mimic a well-worn classic armchair.

Reclaimed wood and simple styling makes this bed a no-brainer.
Our reclaimed Douglas fir Plank bed adds a contemporary green twist to it’s traditional design and honors the character of the rare first-growth fir used in its construction. Up to a century old, the aged wood-from razed buildings-shows off its rich hue, deep patina, and tight grain. The wood is hand-planed to smooth its surface while preserving the distinctive character of the vintage fir’s imperfections. Our bed’s eco-friendly wax finish highlights the wood’s singular beauty. Includes headboard and bed frame. Assembly required. Made in USA. Allow 5 weeks for delivery.

I’ve been going a little pattern-crazy; everything with any type of pattern is catching my eye (and this is not a usual thing, trust me). If you’re more of the solid-color type, then maybe you can try to see past the ferns and flowers to appreciate the shape with its curvy corners and tall back.

I could scarcely believe my eyes when I saw the price on these two tables. Looks like a super deal.
UPDATE: Apparently, instead of $287.00 and $200.00, they’re $574.00 and $400.00…hopefully someone snatched them up when they were listed for less…thanks Ayse for letting us know.)

Surprisingly, this chair was designed way back in ’05 and I’ve no idea why we haven’t posted it before. I like how it uses seatbelt scraps without weaving them together in a grid pattern (like so many other products).
