Heaven Chair

Such a lovely choice for outdoor seating, though I’d opt for indoors just so I could gaze upon its beauty each and every day. Just kidding (sort of).

Using a new process that extrudes pre-galvanised metal sheet into a 3D mesh sling, Christophe Pillet and Jean-Marie Massaudโ€™s Heaven chair combines a barely-there appearance with a sturdy structure that can be left outdoors permanently.

W24 x D22.4 x H31.5 in.

MauMau Bench by Antlantico

Take a look at this bench; the cross braces create pattern and interest on an otherwise simple spare design.

“The wood used to create this product is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Made from solid wood, MauMau Bench pushes the boundaries of the material, creating a sturdy timber form that appears to have been constructed from folded paper. What at a distance seems to be a basic shape, becomes increasingly complex as you move closer.”

Designer Studio Hausen

Available solid woods: Oak (specify white or traditional oiled), Cherry, Walnut (add $450), or Painted Beech (Shown in traditional oiled Walnut)

Classic Butterfly Chair

So, here’s a rather personal recommendation for anyone searching for some patio furniture on a small budget: I recently decided to get a couple of butterfly chairs for our patio because a) they’re inexpensive, b) they’re decent looking and c) comfortable. After spending an enjoyable evening last weekend sipping mojitos in seated comfort (knowing I didn’t spend an arm and a leg helped), I can say I’m relatively happy with my purchase*. I got the red color with the black frame (as pictured, polyester fabric on a folding steel frame.), but there are all sorts of options to choose from.

Grimmen Bed Frame

I was just at Ikea and I actually really liked this piece in person. It has a cover which looks like wool (but is actually a synthetic of some sort).

L7 Console Table

Not a bad price for a bamboo console table. I like how the legs stick out ever so slightly at the top.

It’s hip to be square (or in this case, rectangular). A very considerate console, our L7 side table is a “green” grouping of quite right angles. Dual bamboo tops are supported by a stained wood frame, creating generous amounts of geometric appeal. Crafted with non-toxic environmentally-friendly glues and stains, and making use of fast-growing sustainable bamboo, the L7 side table is smart on many levels. Behind a sofa, dividing a room, as a sideboard or bookshelf – you’ll love this one square from square one! Imported. Spot clean.

slick media console

Finally, someone has nailed the affordable flat screen/media center solution.

Flat screen 1080 dpi HD mumbo jumbos keep a lo-profile on hi-gloss white lacquer media center just 14-plus inches off the floor. Plinth base floats sleek 50/50 design with one open display for electronics, and one drawer to hide DVDs and stuff. Finished back panel means it can live mid-room. Wire management discreetly placed in back corner.

  • Hi-gloss white-lacquered wood composite stand “floats” on plinth base
  • Closed drawer storage on left side houses CDs/DVDs
  • Open storage section houses electronics on right side

Clip chair by moooi

This distinctive chair has interesting beginnings…

designed by blasius osko and oliver deichman for moooi, the clip chair has a solid beech frame and folds flat. according to the designers: “Whilst strolling around a Bulgarian market, a small, foldable basket caught our attention. Single slats were beaded on ropes to form 2 hinged surfaces, which could be transformed into a curved 3 dimensional object. We improved this stunning mechanism, both technically and visually, to create a foldable lounge chair – the ‘Clip Chair’. When open, it’s straight identical slats form a spacious seating space of supreme comfort. This simple design not only makes the chair highly practical, but also creates a sculptural object of outstanding aesthetic value, whether folded or open.”

dimensions: 28.1″ x 33.5″ x 25.6″d; seat height: 11.8″
available in white, black or wenge.

Bird Chaise Lounge

This is a stunning piece designed by tom dixon for cappellini in 1991. As a bonus, you can buy extra covers too.

Bird is an aptly named rocking chaise – looking somewhat like a bird with its tail in the air – that allows the sitter to balance on their center of gravity or simply rock back and forth. Very comfortable and a great conversation piece, the bird has an upholstered wooden structure with a removable external cover available in a choice of fabrics or leathers. Extremely popular with children it seems- they love to sit on it in the store.

Aries Side Table

I like this little side table; it’s got some interesting scrollwork and you can either go with a stable black color or the crazy pink.

“So boho. Around the world, around the room. Architectural Moroccan style handmade iron rod scrollwork fancies its way into mini boho table. Powdercoated kinky pink. Also in black.”

Relax Chair

Here’s a great little accent chair at a great price.

Few chairs cut a slim, low-angled profile while having the kind of wide seat support that lets you settle in. Fewer still manage to be slender and inviting without hogging space. The European-style Andrew Relaxer does it all with a lineup of unbeatable qualities, from gently curving lines, rich chocolate bi-cast leather to an elegant profile suitable for any room.
