Custom manufactured to be exactly the right size for your cash and credit cards, this rubber band will minimize bulk and prevent pick-pockets (the rubber creates resistance, so you'd feel it being lifted).

Money-band is the original rubber band wallet replacement. More versatile and slimmer than a money clip. Many times slimmer and more ergonomically correct than your George Costanza hip-displacing leather variety. If you’re tired of rolling with a junk-filled hunk of leather, then Money-band is the way to simplify and keep a tight hold on your cash and cards.

This reminds me of a much more expensive design but I can't quite put my finger on which one. For the price, it's an interesting shape and design, yet sadly it sports a rather unfortunate fabric. (update: it was the Moel sofa by Ligne Roset that I was thinking of...thanks to Edgar for figuring that out.)

Sink down into this plush off white sofa and you may find yourself languishing in your contemporary living room longer than you ever imagined. The ribbed stitching adds visual interest, texture and an aura of Deco glam. Don't forget the matching chair! Once again, modern design, style and comfort help you create your little bit of heaven on Earth. Padded solid wood frame. Fabric, in easy-care vinyl.

For anyone that loves the idea of keeping tabletop items secured away in an actual cupboard, this collection hits the mark for any modernist. It could be the poorer man's option of the Bulthaup b2 (though poor is a relative term in this case).

Teak Rough is a new collection that combines the rough texture of natural teak and the sleek surface of stainless steel. Combined they add modern and timeless design to any room in the house. The teak rough storage cupboard measures 46" x 18" x 63" tall.

This is an excellent example of a desk that will keep you on top of clutter, namely because there's no place to stash it except in neat piles along the lower shelf. If that seems entirely implausible, the handy mobile cabinet keeps the clean lines yet has ample storage for your odds and ends.

A member of Herman Miller's award-winning Lifework™ Portfolio, the Enchord Desk embraces a minimal aesthetic while boasting a useful design...The distinctive dual-level table design allows different zones to be designated for different materials, such as a computer for the upper surface and a printer for the lower.

Available in white laminate over pesto or white oak veneer over white
The desk's lower surface extends 11"-12" on either side or can be centered, extending 5" on both sides

Here's a rather modern puzzle-like interpretation of the personal coin bank.

"First, you get to construct the bank. Then fill it with coins, and when the time comes to collect your savings, take it apart. Put it back together and start all over again!"

Sometimes simple white bed linens is all a room needs, but in this case the circle embroidery provides just enough detail to ward off any accusations of being boring.

The base is an Egyptian cotton fabric produced by one of Italy's leading textile companies to ensure the finest quality and craftsmanship. While techniques are traditional, Sanford Burrows designs are decidedly modern. White space and clean lines don't overpower, but become an integral part of your design landscape.
