This would be super handy- a bag that adjusts to your needs depending on how much stuff you’re carrying around. Plus, a 15″ Laptop sleeve is included.

“Ingeniously designed, the entire bag can be folded apart and reclosed to fit whatever volume you need. Locked securely in place with super wide velcro, the water repellent Wool Felt bag can be carried a multitude of ways and its orientation can be changed with the flick of a wrist.”

This is such a reasonable price for a very decent chandelier. It is actually quite elegant and would be perfect for those of you who qualify as apartment nomads, or anyone else who appreciates an easy affordable solution to lighting…

The chandelier ‘to go’ – comes in a pack with everything you need for this innovative fixture where the piece is actually held up by the light bulbs. It is wired directly to existing ceiling outlet wires and can be used 110V or 220V.

This is quite a stunning pendant lamp from Denmark.

Take a look at the collection from Ecsotype. Custom options are available on all designs, and as a warning, be prepared for getting stuck there clicking on all the different color combinations.

“Its overall shape is a rectangle in 3-dimensions, made of three individually configurable components…Along with an adjustable shoulder strap that threads into the bag, generous well-placed pockets complete Bare, making it the perfect companion to just about any occasion.”

I really think these might be the best bookends I’ve ever seen.

“To further enhance the functionality of his Parallel Shelving (2005), Stephen Burks added optional Bookends. Available either in a two-sided U shape or one-sided L shape, the bookends can also be used to hold CDs, DVDs or anything that can benefit from a little support. Made of powder-coated steel, they come in three colors…”

These vessels are cast from restored moulds of medieval pots and are painted with automotive paint. Such an interesting melding of two different times.

“The rough casting seams, along with the potter’s traditional thumbprint, give the impression of antique vessels while the strong, solid forms are a clear indications of modern industry.”

This series of 30 ceramic plates is guaranteed to make your meals more interesting. You could just get a few, or the whole thing (if you have that sort of money). One thing is for certain, you’ll not be accused of boring tableware.

“Using different original plates from the Royal Tichebaar Makkum collection, each piece is partly hand-painted and partly printed. Mix and match the patterns to enliven your table with vibrant bursts of color…”

A bit different than your average stool, and probably much more forgiving as far as comfort is concerned. Stackable and outdoor friendly makes it a wise buy.

“Committed to the principles of aesthetic simplicity and frugal use of materials, Grcic designed the innovative contours of the Miura with comfort and function in mind. Made from a single reinforced polypropylene block, these versatile stools can be used both indoors and outdoors and neatly stack atop one another.”

I was just in Seattle this weekend and was reminded of how cool this mirror was when I saw it in one of the shops down town. (The store is called Ornamo, but they don’t have an online store–but do stop by if you’re in the area.)

The mirror is large in scale (35h x 12w x 10″d) and generally just really cool. It’s on sale now at Moma.

“Bring this nearly three-foot high version of the familiar rearview car mirror indoors. Wall mount and adjust by rotating 360 degrees, lowering or angling towards the wall to display your desired reflection. Made of a black injection-molded ABS frame with glass and anodized aluminum.”

These sound like a very smart buy for all of you laptop owners. And quite affordable, might I add…

“Cool feet are 4 small ‘feet’ with suction cups at the end. Or actually, they are suction cups in the size of small ‘feet’ that attach to the bottom of your laptop, allowing the heat to be dispersed properly. Why is that smart you might ask? Well for starters angled keyboards are more ergonomic than a flat one and a raised laptop protects your furniture from any heat damage… But the kicker is that when laptops release their excess heat, they become faster! And isn’t speed something we all want in our machines?”

If you’ve long been waiting for the perfect office chair, and get depressed anytime you visit your local office supply chain store, then this might be just the thing to cheer you up. There’s a handful of color options too if you prefer a bit more pizazz in your workspace.

“spoon chair is a semi-articulating office chair which directly evokes the spoon stool.
for spoon chair too, the handle that regulates the mechanism is perfectly concealed inside the trunk. the chair height is adjustable from a minimum of 18 inches to a maximum of 21.5 inches.”

It’s so nice to know there is modular furniture out there that can grow and change according to your needs. This system can be changed depending on how high or tall or wide you’d like it, simply by adding or taking away an individual unit. The photo shown here is one unit with a steel base (the doors are sold separately), but you could afford to buy this now as a tv stand (for example) and then add on later to make a bookcase. The back is completely finished as well, so you could also use it as a room divider if you went with buying a taller unit.

“The Sapporo Shelving System by Jesús Gasca combines the elegant minimalism of Japanese design with SpainÂ’s technically refined modernism to produce a system of case goods that meets a multiplicity of needs in a gracious and flexible format…”

I love that this shelf allows you to use a book as a bookend.

The shelf is available in two high gloss powder coated finishes, black or white.

For anyone who has ever wanted one, now’s the time to purchase the larger version of Alexander Taylor’s Fold Lamp. I think we’ve posted this lamp three different times because we like it so much.

“This black table lamp is constructed from a powder-coated aluminum sheet folded into a traditional form and accented with a braided fabric cable and red cord.”

Size: 18″h. Base, 9″diam. Cord, 35″l

Classic shape in updated colors and fabrics.
