I’ve always wanted to make one of these but I haven’t gotten around to it. Now there’s a kit and it will make it so much easier. You just fit the cardboard pieces together and then fill the gaps with dirt and sprinkle with grass seeds (not included).

Lookit! It’s an end table and a light all in one. The small inner square contains the bulb and the cord/socket is at the bottom of the inner square. It’s a nice size too.

White/Clear or Red/Clear

15.75″w x15.75″d x 19.75″h

This is a nice little simple chair.

Nendo: Snow Table
Swedese, Sweden.

“Designed by Nendo in Japan. Have you ever awaked in the morning to a soft blanket of snow covering your yard and smiled? Perhaps it is because there is something about the winter that appeals to the minimalist in all of us. Everything covered in a nice clean white veil, the hard edges of ice on the windows. With the Snow Table, designedy Nendo for Swedese you can bring some of that winter beauty into your home. This modular and expandable table is made by connecting a series of snowflake shaped white plywood sections together, and placing an appropriately sized pane of glass on top. We love the modular aspect of it that makes it possible to expand as necessary, or as desired.”

Material: White lacquered “snow flakes” in MDF. Clear Glass Top. Simple assembly required.

Not bad for the price, and ‘recycled leather’ has a very nice ring to it (if you’re into the earth-friendly/conscious thing, which you should be).

•Steel tube frame with chrome finish
•Recycled leather
•Stackable
•Made in Italy

Shown in Ivory. (Tobacco and Black also available)

Thought these two pieces were worth mentioning for those of you looking for some lower-priced furniture items (everything’s relative, right?)…I like how the console seems to just lean against the wall and how it has a good amount of surface space considering the size. The mirror is a good buy as well…

Available in Cherry stain.

I don’t know about you, but this makes my fingers itch to make furniture out of cardboard. If you’re less inclined but still want the furniture, you now can get the look without the (presumable) hassle.

“An ecologically low-impact solution for the home office, the Desk is made from BeeBoard, a layered cardboard with a honeycomb structure. By keeping the BeeBoard exposed, he lets the material provide a densely textured surface that contrasts with the structures’ surprising lightness. The Desk has two pillar legs that lock into the tabletop’s span and are secured by industrial adhesive. The table is completed with a slender acrylic overlay to provide a smooth, firm writing surface.”

Designer:Piet Boon

I really like the tufting on this sofa.

If you’ve been hankerin’ to get your outdoor living space set up and ready for the spring/summer, here’s a couple of concrete cubes to consider. I think they’d also be fine indoors as well.

$139.00

Small Concrete Cube
20w x 19.5d x 19.5h
$109.00

I’m thinking this would make a nice little desk, although it’s perfectly suited as a dining table too.

“avi tables designed by arne vehovar for magis. available in 2 sizes and 3 tabletop finishes, the avi is versatile enough for home or office. frames are steel tubing and the tops are mdf with a polymeric cover in beige, white or metallized grey. $100 shipping within the continental US.”

small table – 59″ x 31.5″ x 28.75″h

What’s this? A modern sofa under $1000? My antennae go up when I hear these words, and I have to say that often I’m disappointed with quality or else the “modern” style is way overdone. Not in this case though. I’m a big fan of the bench seat and square arms, and the aluminum legs add a nice contemporary touch to the overall style. It’s a good deal in my book.

•Kiln-dried hardwood frame
•Flexolator spring system
•Cotton/poly blend upholstery in mocha with topstitch details
•Solid brushed aluminum legs
•Four square pillows across the back

How cool would it be to have a little leaning desk with a wall-mounted monitor? Or it would be great for a laptop too.

• Solid wood
• Deep espresso stain

This is a really reasonable price for a dining table.
