I'm not a big "scent" person. Usually artificial smells give me a bit of a headache. But this actually smells clean. It's made with Charcoal (known for its cleansing properties) and essential oils (which means the scents are real--not made in a test tube). Trust me on this one....Read more

This Tube Light is pvc/cotton laminate with a metal frame. available in white, black, graphite and grey. 88.5"cord length. 25.6" x 7.9 "diameter...Read more

If you're looking for a modern sofa, and if you're planning on having it for a while, I recommend the Bottoni. The size and shape are simple and sophisticated, yet the price tag doesn't knock all the wind out of your lungs. Really, when you think about all the time you spend on a sofa and how long you'll have it (years?), and consider the cost per month, it's really...Read more

I'm a big fan of the Jasper Morrison Globall Lamp, but a $500 lamp is not currently in my price range, so I bought this lamp instead. It bears a remarkable similarity to the JMG lamp except for a few key things: 1. there is no dimmer switch* 2. the stand sticks out slightly 3. the cord is transparent plastic instead of a grey fabric cord. *To get the same...Read more

Square: 42" x 42" x 14"H Round: 42" dia x 14"H Materials: Frosted acrylic, steel, wood...Read more

For a relatively inexpensive sofa, this is not a bad choice. It folds down into a bed and it's available in leather (add $280)....Read more

I'm not one for lots of trinkets or doodads on my desk, but I do think that these laughing Buddhas might lift the spirits in the midst of work overload...as well as keep some of those papers right where they're needed. 4.5" H...Read more

I was slightly alarmed when I first saw this, mainly because I had no clue to what it was, and maybe I'm still getting used to it, but I think I mostly like it. It's certainly better than the pet-store alternative. "...the rough exterior texture functions to sharpen claws or scratch away itches while the dark interior is a cat hideaway and storage spot. The 1- to 3.5" peepholes provide...Read more

Remember when there was a ceremony to listening to music? Instead of just clicking a button on a device you actually took a record out of it's sleeve and got to look at the cover art and interact with it. These shelves are such a great way to display your records while still making them accessible. The guys at Furni have other really great items that are well designed and...Read more

Polishing with beeswax will give the wood a deeper, warmer color. Stains can easily be removed with fine sandpaper."...Read more

Do I need to say that this looks way better than anything that falls under the category of "futon"? I think I probably don't, but just in case, if you're thinking about a sit/sleep double action sofa, I recommend serious consideration of this particular sofa. It looks good. "The compact, Dutch-designed Logo Sleep Sofa rests lightly on chrome-plated steel sleigh legs, with crossbar support for added strength. The Sofa opens...Read more
