I sat in this leather chair yesterday and it’s surprisingly comfortable. I almost wanted to buy it. But I have no space for a leather armchair. But if I had a space for it I guarantee I would have taken that thing home with me.

Not a bad price for a little bamboo stool…

“The XOX Stool is the perfect companion for kitchen tables, entryways or anyone else where you desire a simple, elegant stool. Constructed in the U.S. of Bamboo, the XOX features a slot-together design that makes it easy to assemble or take apart for quick storage or transport. Treated with a non-toxic, water-based finish.”

16″ round x 18″ tall

Such a nice shape, and it’s made out of environmentally friendly bamboo, so you’ll feel good about it whenever you sit down.

“The Bambar Stool is the perfect countertop complement. A crossbeam provides a conveient footrest at the base. Constructed in the U.S. of Bamboo and treated with non-toxic, water-based finishes.”

14″ deep x 16″ wide x 29″ tall

This is a newer version of the q chaise–the previous version required freight shipping, this model can be sent by FedEx.

This versatile piece starts as a cube but can become a chair with ottoman or a chaise depending on how you fold it.

There has been a lot of talk about the new Ikea collection but this is one of the first things that just doesn’t shout “I’m from the Swedish ubiquitous retailer!”. And what’s most exciting is that the cover is removable (dry clean only, but that’s better than nothing). If nothing else, you can take the cover to an upholsterer and have it reproduced in a different color.

Ohh this is a great chair.

Made of aluminum with a powder coating, stackable and available in 186 colors, mat or glossy.

This sofa is touted as modern AND comfortable.

“Theatre’s comfort stems from its well-made form rather than excessive layers of stuffing and upholstery. The gentle angle of the backrest, full seat depth and elevated armrests are eminently suited to a formal living room or reception area.”

Honestly, I don’t think you need to feel like you’re being excessive about spending $2500 on a sofa. Good furniture is expensive to make. It will probably outlast you. Think about it. If you have it for the next 40 years, that’s only $67 a year.

This is my favorite sofa shape and here it is for less than a grand.

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.”

available in white, grey & red

17 ¾”h x 37 ¾”w x 12 ½”d

The day bed folds out into a generously sized bed (66″w by 80″l), essentially increasing sleeping surface area by 100%. Multi-function greatness, brought to you by Denmark. Thanks, Denmark.

“LUBI is in a decorative, timeless design. Simple, elegant design, which can fit in anywhere, from the teenager’s room to the summer house. A practical day bed, which can be used for
many purposes, as an ordinary sofa, a day bed or as a bed for 1 or 2 people. The head rest can be placed anywhere you like, to give the best comfort.”

Made in Denmark

This is pretty.

Measurements: H 28″ x W 30.25″ x D 30″

“All come in graphite on oak, rift-sawn white oak and walnut with a brushed stainless steel base.

Lead time: This is a new product. It will begin shipping in late July, 2006.”

There are four attributes that leads me to believe this is a wise purchase for those of you in the market for a sofa:
1. It measures eight feet in length.
2. The pillows can be removed to create a daybed-like sleeping surface on which one or two people can curl up.
3. The linen-blend upholstery cover is fully removable for dry cleaning, and features Velcro® tabs for a snug, glove-like fit.
4. The pillows are filled with down.

This chair is not conspicuously modern, but it is simple and lacking in unnecessary ornamentation. I think it’s a perfect little chair. And it’s only $20! You can’t even get a large pizza for less than that in times like these.

Slap a coat of white paint on this thing and you’re done.

This replica of Poul Kjaerholm’s 1965 design features a stainless steel frame, woven natural cane upholstery and a full grain black leather headrest.
