Which brings me to the point of this particular chair. It's...Read more

This is the first time I've laid eyes on the wall lamp of Contraforma's Romance collection, and I have to say I'm quite pleased that they've expanded into lighting.

Have you ever wanted to take the Bilbao Guggenheim home with you? I have. Although this doesn't resemble the Guggenheim it does have the whimsy (did I actually just say "whimsy"?) that Frank Gehry adds to all his designs.

So if you need some surface space on a small budget, I'd recommend taking a look at these tables. I think they've got a lot of punch for the price (quite fond of the stylized shaping of the legs with the laminated top). "Context Furniture's William & Mary tables add a different kind of contrast, with their ultrasmooth laminate surfaces and aluminum legs. The silhouettes (again, especially in the legs,...Read more

The attention to detail here on the legs sets this table apart from the mass of wobbly tables out there... "Genuine innovation is rare.
