Cubits backs, (set of two) now on sale

“Cubits can transform easily from a shelf to a cabinet with the addition of the optional doors and backs. The backs keep your stored items from falling behind the unit and enables Cubits to be used as a room divider. Made of the same high-quality polypropylene as the shelves, the backs are sold separately in sets of two and can be added and removed at will.”

Light with a Dish by Naoto Fukasawa

The simplicity of Naoto Fukasawa’s work is why he’s my favorite designer.

“Most people, when they get home, go through the exact same ritual: turn on the lights, put down your keys and empty your pockets. Made to complement both your decor and your lifestyle, the Light with a Dish is the perfect accessory for your daily routine, addressing all these activities in one clean and simple design.”

Carve your own postcard

When you’re far from your loved ones, it’s especially nice to receive something handwritten. It’s so old fashioned and lovely. Even more so, imagine getting a postcard which had a hand carved image on the back. Much better than an email any day.

Trollsta side table

This is actually pretty pricy considering where it comes from, but it’s a pretty great piece. I think it’d be perfect as a little bedside table.

Low Pad Chair by Jasper Morrison

I just re-fell in love with this chair today when I saw it over at Nicolas’ small cool apartment entry at Apartment Therapy. We originally posted it almost 3 years ago, and I thought it was time for a revisit.
