This chair strikes the perfect balance between traditional and modern- love the low seat and structured feel.

“Low to the ground profile seats wide on sleek, minimal cushions. High back encourages good posture, lets you lean your head back. Wing panels shelter with new abbreviation…Kiln-dried hardwood frame. Hardwood legs with espresso finish.”

Patina or Smoke.

Here’s a modern sofa available in two sizes and three great colors. I like the low back, tufted seat and tuxedo arms- it gives a very streamlined appearance.

Colors: Chalk, Guacamole, Dark Roast

Small Sofa- 82″ L
Large Sofa- 102″ L (add $200)

This is the perfect sectional- very clean lines and an unscary price tag (considering all modern sectionals seem to be about $2000 more than a regular person can afford). Pillows are sold separately, so if you’re not so fond of stripes, don’t worry.

“Clean uni-height backs/arms angle deep to comfort. Overscale pieces work small spaces solo, or lofts in combination…Classic textured cotton in go-with-everything putty, double-needle stitched at the seams. Barely there T-legs in solid aluminum.”

• Kiln-dried hardwood frame benchmade in USA
• Sinuous wire spring suspension; foam cushioning
• 100% cotton fabric: putty
• Solid aluminum legs

This bench takes advantage of five different layers of wood- an engaging design that will no doubt be at home among other classics in years to come.

“To create his Ripples Collection (2003), Toyo Ito was inspired by the appearance of concentric circles spreading across the surface of water that’s been disturbed by a thrown pebble…Created with five layers of different woods – walnut, mahogany, cherry, oak and ash – Ripples is created by pressing together 5mm-thick layers of each wood…Due to the natural variations in the grain of these woods, every Ripples Bench is unique.”

Obviously this is more suitable for a commercial space versus a small residential one, but it’s a pretty cool sofa if you have the need for a huge lounging piece and happen to have $6000 to spare.

Backrests release for repositioning.

I absolutely love this chair. We ended up getting ours off of ebay, but if you’re not the patient type that will wait forever until one turns up for bidding, there are several stores that offer a brand new one in exchange for a chunk of change.

“The frame is made by hand and draws on techniques Bendtsen learned from
his father, who also designed and built furniture. The foam seat
cushions he uses are sourced from Italy because he hasn’t found any
others that offer his ideal mix of firm support and comfort. And the
removable cushion covers, while not a flashy feature, are all about
maximizing Neo’s functionality as an easy-to-live-with and
easy-to-clean seating collection.”

Patricia Urquiola is one of todays most prolific designers of beautiful, thought-provoking design. The collective body of her work is both cohesive yet disparate enough to not be predictable.

The Antibody is available with flat seats or, in what really makes this line stand out, with raised flaps or “flowers” of material.

This is great because it doesn’t look like a bench, and when people aren’t sitting on it, it will look like more of an art piece.

…the Parcel Collection (2006) expresses the designers’ belief that our furniture should reflect a state of casualness, relaxation and rejuvenation…Bernett and Dodziuk designed the Parcel Sofa to be roomy enough to stretch out on, with deep seats that encourage nesting, even for the tallest user. The Sofa has a slightly angled back and wide soft armrests. Place the Ottoman snuggly against either the Sofa or Chair to instantly create a chaise.

This is an unbelievable price for such a well constructed and designed sofa. Blu Dot are kind of the new kids to the game, so they are eschewing a lot of the conventional design beliefs, such as a well made sofa needs to cost a fortune.
