Is January too cold for gathering around a fire for some S'mores? Some of us think not, and will shortly add this set of 2 DORO Grill Forks to our carts. Simply thread a stick through the holes of the fork to keep it in place, and you have a sturdy fork for vegetables, sausages, or marshmallows, take your pick. "The thicker the stick, the more the middle piece of...Read more

At first glance, you could be forgiven for letting your eyes slide right over this stool on to other more exciting things. However, on second sight, if you don't notice the lovely detail of the slightly concave top, and then, of course, the leg shape and joinery underneath (you do have to turn furniture over occasionally, it's the nature of appreciating design), then I'll have to give you a verbal...Read more

Hello there, little catch-all. How simple and unassuming you are, with just enough space to catch keys, phones, and other pocket contents. Perhaps you need to live on our dressers, desks, or entryway consoles, just to tidy up those spots which accumulate all sorts of miscellany on a daily basis. Hmm, now to decide, which size is best? American Black Walnut or Maple. Milled and finished in Michigan. Large, $90.00...Read more

Should you need an option for no-fuss salt and pepper grinders, consider Piero Lissoni's pair. Subtle and functional, they're a smaller scale version of traditional grinders, making them the right size for tabletop use. They're easy to hold in the palm, and also easy on the wrist thanks to the grinding mechanism at the top. Each fills from the bottom, with a coin to unlock the barrel. Made in China....Read more

Okay, put your art critic hat on. Now, rest your eyes upon the Matrix LED Screen created by Wolf Udo Wagner, 2014, which is now on sale from MoMA's Store. Digital art, imported through a USB flashdrive, is filtered through "the luminous surface of softly lit Japanese washi paper." You may import your own pixelated artwork or peruse the five videos already installed on the screen. Okay, remember, you've got...Read more

See this small, sculptural piece of marble? It sits at just under 16" high, and could function as a shorter side table alongside your favorite chair. However, Italian architecture firm Studio Archea intended this piece, along with its three other siblings, to compose a larger, modular bookcase. Doing a little math, at $300 per piece, a bigger bookcase will require quite a few grand, so it's not for anyone on...Read more

Four lamps in one, really? Yes, it's true, the Bollard Lamp can be placed in four different ways around your home. Designer Shane Schneck planned the silicone Bollard Lamp to be used in various ways: it can drop down as a simple hanging pendant, you can angle it (hanging) as a spotlight, place it on a table or shelf on its side, or prop it up on its foot to...Read more

Do you see a little Eames influence in this side chair? Maybe it's the wood dowel legs, or maybe it's the molded plastic seat and back. In any case, the expanding crosshatch pattern places it firmly in today's world rather than amongst the mid century modern classics. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at the price tag: $250. Not too bad for a stylish side or desk chair, right? Dimensions: 25"Wx23"Dx32.5"H...Read more

How about some bronze hooks to organize any scarf/coat chaos in your entryway? Each hook was first made in ceramic, then cast by a small foundry. You get the feel of a handmade object with the heft and sturdiness of bronze. There's the Juno Hooks, which each have a slightly different shape but all are roughly the same size, the Tara Oval Hooks, which sizes vary more noticeably, and the...Read more

Whaaaat the what. There's a tempting sale over at Hem; the Alle Coffee Tables are so very affordable at the moment you'd be silly not to grab a couple. Don't be too afraid of the red color, by the way, as it would provide a nice color contrast to an otherwise neutral interior. If that still makes you nervous, there's black, ivory, pale oak, light blue, gray, eggplant, and walnut-...Read more
