Obviously the name denotes the design, but what strikes me most about this stool is not only the shape of one on its own, but the shape when stacked several high. It almost looks like an extremely robust coat hanger or totem-like sculpture. Designer: Michele De Lucchi Materials: birch plywood 10.25" x 15.75" x 19.5"h...Read more

Make from 100% recycled leather, Re-fill is a practical and stylish collection of small leather goods hand-crafted in Italy. Choose from wallet, credit card holder, or key case. I'd love to see these in person because from the picture it totally looks like felt....Read more

So rough and uncouth, yet so chic and expensive. Irreverent design is Astuguevieille's signature, as is rope...he uses it whenever possible! And when he's not using rope, he's covering things in other questionable media...

Well, take a look at this piece of happy news. Ligne Roset is on Gilt Groupe, which means some of you can snap up some great little pieces on sale. Excuse the hastily put together above image, as I wanted to get this up fast so you guys have a good chance of getting something before it's gone. And, as I always say, Gilt Groupe is an invite-only site, so...Read more

Made from 20 pieces of triangle shaped veneer, this light makes for a pretty picture. You assemble the light like a puzzle, either as shown above or as two separate more oval shaped lights. One drawback is that it doesn't come with a wire unit (it's flat-packed after all) but that's easy enough to pick up at a hardware store (or Ikea?). Also, if you're the curious type, 'Mokusei' means...Read more

These were kind of too cute (for lack of a better word) not to post. Set of 18 magnets....Read more

Not a bad price for a coffee table, seeing as it's comfortably under the $500 mark. The angled legs makes for an interesting detail, yet it's robust and sturdy looking, as it should be since the legs are cut from solid American walnut (or oak). A veneered hardwood top finishes it off with a nice 'organic geometry'. American Walnut ($379) or American Oak ($349). Also available in a round-topped version...Read more

This reminds me of the Leaf Tie a little. Could be very handy if you're always needing quarters for parking meters (or vending machines). Silicon rubber. 4.25 x 2.5 x 0.25"...Read more

If the Ultra Flat Wall Clock was way too colorful for your taste, then you'll be happy to see this black and white version. Just like the color version, it's half an inch thick, which makes it one of the thinnest clocks in the world. Designed by Thomas Buchheim....Read more

Take a look at the dimensions before you get too attached; it's a kid's stool. Too bad it isn't also available in a bigger version, but for those of you with little offspring now you have a very smart/cute option for their playroom seating. from Context Furniture, designed by Ragnheidur Osp Sigurdardottir. 10.5l x 10.5w x 13h (inches) Birch: $75.00 Red: $99.00...Read more

Utilitarian materials and a simple design set this sleeve apart from the pack. At first the no-zipper worried me a little, but upon further inspection the elastic bands seem to do the job just fine. It's really the materials that stand out though- asphalt grey felt with a large vegetable-tanned leather pocket give a natural feel, which is a nice balance to the device they protect. Also check out their...Read more

This notebook might not look like much, but that's precisely the point. No logos, subltle barely-there white lines on the pages, and it opens fully flat. So while all these things are small details, added up together it makes for a notebook that doesn't get it the way of your drawing/writing. More information on itsaboutblank.com...Read more
