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 a steal. One of the perks of this particular sofa is that there are small blanket-type things (sold separately) that can customize the seat back if you were wanting a bit more pattern.

Sofa available in Charcoal or Ecru.

Another great creation from Scrapile, the Brookly duo who reclaim woodscraps and turn them into furniture masterpieces. I’m considering making my house a “no shoe” house because I’d like to invest in a few nice wool rugs. This bench would go really well in a front entry and would accomodate several pairs of guests shoes on the bottom shelf.

Measurements: H 16″ x W 72″ x D 12″

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 affordable. Check it out.

Did someone go beyond the call of duty or help you out in some way? Does a simple “thank you” seem insufficient? Maybe giving your benefactor a THANKS resin marker will help you express yourself fully and give reminder to your gratitude.

If you’ve got some money to spend on a really cool light/table, then I’d recommend this one:

“The top surface is a frosted acrylic four inches tall and the whole mass lights up. You can pick from several animation and color options to create limitless combinations to suit your mood.”

Designed by Dario Antonioni.

Square: 42″ x 42″ x 14″H
Round: 42″ dia x 14″H

The Klein Sofa’s not a bad option if you’re looking for a straight arm sectional. Available in either left or right chaise configurations. Also available in two different sofa lengths.

“Modern design and maximum comfort meet in our Klein collection. Its deep seat, low profile and soft stain-resistant chenille fabric create an inviting place to relax. A low back, boxy arms and stainless steel stretcher base offer a sleek contemporary perspective.”

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).

I love this desk. It hides all the junk that an office space has without being an eyesore. It looks good enough to put anywhere really…and it’s got the necessary details to make you happy. I promise.

“On the left, a narrow two-shelf cupboard with door is a convenient hideaway for books and papers. The larger cupboard on the right serves as a self-enclosing workstation with a pull-down writing surface. Using a simple motion, one can draw open the hinged front panel to expose an interior storage and workspace, replete with a cable management compartment, a telephone jack, an electrical outlet, an overhead fluorescent light, a built-in pencil holder and a long drawer to stash desk accessories. In extension, the 30.75″ secretary-style writing surface is supported by sturdy hinges to ensure strength and smooth, balanced closure. ”

Here’s a great wall mounted option for shelving. Also, notice that if you do want three, it’s cheaper to buy them individually instead of in the set.

“Books become a striking decorative element when stacked on our innovative solid-ash shelving. It’s designed to hold oversized art and coffee-table books. The U-shaped shelves attach to a flat steel bar that’s stud mounted to the wall for stability. Finished with a rich mahogany stain. 8 x 8 x 48” h.”

I know this might sound awfully materialistic, but my life would be so much better if I had this desk. At 72 inches wide and 30 inches deep, it’d be the perfect sized surface to spread out projects and miscellany. Plus, it just looks good.

Look at this- an environmentally friendly coffee table that looks like it shouldn’t be (and, by that, I just mean that it’s suprising that it is)…I really like the stark contrast between the matte white and natural fibers. Well done!

“A graphic coffee table featuring Kirei board, an environmentally friendly material made from the reclaimed stalks of the sorghum plant. Normally an agricultural waste product, the discarded stalks are bonded into a sheet glued with formaldehyde-free adhesives. The result is a beautiful textured material that looks like plant cells. We’ve clad the Kirei in matte white acrylic with areas cut away to form a strong graphic motif.”

Material: Kirei & Acrylic.
