To find an outdoor lounge chair under $250 is pretty good, but to find one that looks this good is great. Normally I'd prefer wood for the out-of-doors, but this particular design has me sold on aluminum. "An elegant and classic ladderback aesthetic distinguishes the sleek Aero Collection from ordinary indoor/outdoor furniture. A smooth lacquer finish resists scratches for low-maintenance use indoors and out." H 26.5" W 27" D 26"...Read more

This Insula cup set is quite nice.

Set of two. 3-3/8" diameter and 4" tall Available in Snow white, Sea Blue, Salman Orange and Kiwi Green....Read more

What the heck? I saw this and it hit me up side the head, or whatever the saying might be. Spectacular and intriguing, indeed. "Irregular and apparently random intersections of spatial planes create a volume around the light source and produce the dynamic character of the exuberant ceiling lamp designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez. By evoking the dynamism of an explosion, the methacrylic planes - available in...Read more

This clock is made of a nice walnut and is really simply a nice piece. I especially like the placement of the clock mechanism. We take these things for granted, but some people just really know how to execute scale and proportion really well. And that is the Furni guys in a nutshell. Not to mention, if you were to buy one of these clocks, I would honestly say that...Read more

This reminds me of the upstairs playroom of my daycare in the late 70's. Totally in a good way. I really like the geometric grid with the amorphous design layered on top. "Koko Company Pillows. Cozy, delicate and wonderfully creative. Polysilk and georgette appliqué and embroidery. Koko is a celebration of natural fibers. Linen, cotton, raw silk fibers that breathe and give off an calm, pensive luster. The sturdy weave...Read more

The panels of this credenza move around to display your worldly goods in a coy sort of way. The lower shelf is tall enough for lp's and there are holes in the back sized perfectly for cords of all sorts....Read more

This necklace is pretty interesting design-wise, but the appreciation grows once the material and process of how it's made is known. "Industrial Bloom's flowerlike facade is contrasted by the materials from which it's made. Shavings of Hytrel, a high tech thermoplastic elastomer, are typically discarded during the machining process. We've embraced the individually unique shapes emitted by this production process and use it as the focal point. Each is combined...Read more

I think this sideboard would fit the bill for storage/surface needs. It's sleek and contemporary, has a nice large surface for depositing keys or office papers or food (or whatever else might strike your fancy), and it has nice options for the top. I'm not one to drop lots of money on just one thing, but it bears reminding that you usually get what you pay for, and I think...Read more

The shape and proportion of this buffet looks remarkably like my walnut knoll credenza. For a little DIY, you can make this look a lot better by simply getting rid of the spindly 50's legs and replace them with something more architectural looking, like these Ikea kitchen cabinet legs. My Knoll credenza has 6 legs (center supports in front and back), so I would purchase two sets of the legs....Read more

I think this is so pretty. "Rich tones of solid walnut applied in a random, raised pattern form the 'frame' of this wall-mounted mirror. The Arbo mirror adds a warm, contemporary accent to any room." Update: This item is no longer available through original retailer. (11/19/09)...Read more

This is something to take note of: a shelf that can be mounted on the wall various ways by folding it whichever way you want. It'd fit in lots of different settings as well...bathroom, office, living, etc... "The shelf achieves its special form when folded. Its surface is of brushed aluminium, which, together with the continuous band of black industrial plastic between the two aluminium layers, determines the shelf’s appearance....Read more

I've long had a love affair with this little lamp. Designed in 1965 by Michael Lax, it remains a classic due to it's simple design and localized light especially fitted for tableside/bedside reading. It's available now in a limited commemorative edition from Lightolier. "The telescoping neck adjusts from 6.5” to 15” and the lamp head swivels 360°. Light intensity can be changed from low to high using a switch located...Read more

When I was a kid I used to get the balsa wood dinosaur kits and I loved them. These are a cooler version. "Playing with the theme of 'reinterpreting the codes of bourgeois furniture', these designs are a modernized, almost abstract version of the trophy head, executed in triplicate."...Read more
