The collection is in honor of the ancient Roman holiday Floralia and feature pressed flowers on rice paper fixed to a bamboo frame. Might just be the right sort of wall art to liven up a room in...Read more

Price: 595 € overseas transport door-to-door: 160 €...Read more

(Fun fact: that pattern you see in the tray is a Voronoi diagram, fyi.) Manufacturer: Lékué,...Read more

It's a box. It doesn't have a charging station, it won't organize your emails, it's just a side table with storage to display books and such. It will last though, thanks to solid wood construction with those oh-so-smart dovetail joints, and ease into any design scheme you have for your home, because, after all, it's a box, and that's as simple as you can get when it comes to side...Read more

Choose between 6 available leather colors (may be combined in the case of the bi-color bench as shown above) and three different woods. Bench and stools...Read more

This goes to prove that a storage box can be an objet d'art, as I want a few of these just to look at and admire, forget about their function. Place one on its own in the room of your choice for specific storage needs, or stack several for a 'miniature-home' look. Be sure to take a look at the whole collection, as there are quite a few gems (besides...Read more
