* San Francisco, California (Potrero Hill)
* South Beach, Florida

Online bidding for one bench will begin October 16 and conclude October 25. All proceeds from the online auction will benefit the national chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.”

This would require a bit more money out of the bank than most other coffee tables, but it’s amazing, so it makes sense that it has a higher price point.

“This incredible design from Grcic features a lozenge-shaped object in white Hirek technopolymer; the cut outs create a magnificent spatial dimension and lightness with the piece. Perfect as a bench or a large surface like a coffee table – and, it can be used outdoors!”

I love the newspaper bench- it can be custom made from your favorite daily news…

“K-bench is an innovative combination of design and materials. Honeycomb structured it can be expanded and contracted into different shapes according to your need. Made from polypropylene it is only 16cm thick when contracted and can extend to 3 metres in length, available in white, grey and orange. Also available is a newspaper version handmade to order out of whatever newspaper you like.”

While I’m not crazy about seatbelts being used for items other than what they were intended for, I do think this particular application is nicely executed and somewhat appropriate.

“The loveseat redefined – modernized and streamlined for your contemporary lifestyle. Solid maple wood and post-industrial automotive seatbelts are the basis for this seat designed by Peter Danko, an early founder of Eco-Modernism. Made with non-toxic water based adhesives.”

This is really for a business setting but it may work in the right residential space.

The slightly undulating surface gives this bench a higher mark if not a bit more comfort.

This interesting and thought-provoking piece is in the bar at the Hudson Hotel and is obviously a furniture piece that is reserved for a large space.

I like the bench, though I might be more likely to describe it as a bench with holes drilled into it rather than ‘circles of air’, but, hey, it sure sounds nicer…

“Architect Thomas Sandell breathes life into his wood with this impressive table design. Circles of air are sculpted into this endpiece, the perfect complement to its living, vibrant finish.”

Good fences make good neighbors, they say. And good chairs too, I suspect.

Now on sale, the webbed bench would be great for any spare wall that could use a functional piece of furniture. It would be great in an entry room, library or living room.
