Bokja Vintage Bucket Chair -- $ 4,200.00| Buy it here
While the price of this chair might scare you more than the fabric does, it’s an excellent example of how a rather normal chair can become completely crazy with the right (or wrong) choice of fabric. Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hubri of Bokja Design use all sorts of fabrics to revitalize vintage finds, and if you’re not familiar with their work, it’s worth a glance just to see the variety of textiles. All pieces are handmade by traditional craftsmen, and the vintage textiles used are from Uzbekistan, central Asia, and other countries along the Silk Road. Take a look at Bokja’s products and believe me, you’ll certainly find inspiration (and courage?) for reupholstering any of your current threadbare furniture.
dimensions: 31″w x 26″d x 28″h x 16″sh.
Designers: Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hubri of Bokja Design

Wilma Bench -- $ 875.00| Buy it here
Donna Wilson love. Some of her furniture with SCP is pretty exciting, not to mention this little Wilma bench you see before you. First of all, let’s just get ‘rubberized coconut hair’ out of the way. It’s a sustainable material that “gives the seat a crisp and firm feel.” Okay. Next, the Mabel linen fabric is both playful and quaint, yet the color won’t clash with any of your other exuberant pieces. Splayed legs complete the picture. Yep, it’s a great option for a bench-slash-table.

Rope Buoy Ottoman -- $ 225.00| Buy it here
Now, take a moment here. Given all the popularity of knitted poufs lately, namely the Flocks Pouf and other such delightful ottomans, this rope buoy ottoman is a steal of a deal. Sure, it’s ‘nautical’, and made out of jute rope, but I photoshopped the lifebuoy out of the picture just to help you see how it’s essentially a wonderful little textural piece. It could be a smart addition to a room that needs a little ‘oomph’ as far as character.
Coir filled, covered in jute.

Clean Table and Benches -- € 1,888.00
| Buy it here
So don’t quote me on the name of the table…Exquisit refers to it as “gm50750″, but a rose by any other name right? Or in this case, an impossibly clean-looking table whose main design features are contrast black edges and a minimalist cushion that runs the length of the bench. It’s also available in solid black and two different lengths. Oh, and this can also be used indoors and outdoors.
Table, white or black, 808.00 €
Bench, white or black, 448.00 €

Splay Bench -- $ 1,800.00| Buy it here
Whoa. Check out this bench by Frank Cresencia. The form focuses on the space “between the bench and the floor of its environment, not the surfaces of the piece alone.”

O-Nest Chair by Tord Boontje -- $ 699.00| Buy it here
A little something to add a pop of color to a monochromatic scheme. I think the embossed floral pattern on the plastic surface adds a light sense of humor that Mon Oncle would approve of.
Designer: Tord Boontje
Polyethylene, for indoor and outdoor use

Juan Stool -- $ 49.00| Buy it here
Foldable. Stackable. Easy to store when flat. Does your laundry. Uh, no, not the last bit. But it is pretty amazing that you simply set up this stool with built-in indents and straps, and ta-da(!) you’ve got a transportable stool for 50 bucks.
Available Colors: Black, White, Grey, Green, Brown
Designer: Reinhard Dienes
Dimensions: 45cm W x 50cm H x 33cm D (5mm thick)

Domus Lounge Chair -- £ 1,035.00
| Buy it here
While this chair was designed in 1946, I can’t say that I’ve seen it around that much. Now, the Domus Chair, sure, that’s no stranger, but the curvy lounge chair pictured above is brand new to my eyes. The black stained version has my name written all over it (you just can’t see it because the text is so small, ha ha).
“The characteristic Domus Lounge Chair was designed, alongside the Domus chair, for the public spaces at the Domus Academica’s student housing.”
Designed by Iilmari Tapiovaara
Dimensions: 59w x 70.5d x 39/86.5h

Magis 360 Chair -- $ 840.00| Buy it here
Good looking task chairs are hard to come by, and while I’m not sure about the ergonomics of this one by Konstantin Grcic, it sure kicks the heck out of the ones at your local office supply. It looks simple and minimal (if I had a dime for everytime I used those two words…) plus swivels and adjusts in height with a gas piston lever.
Designed by Konstantin Grcic
Material: Frame in steel tube painted in epoxy resin. Foot-rest in die-cast aluminum.
Specs: 63w x 30.5h (inches)

Vollen Bench -- $ 195.00| Buy it here
Hand built in Seattle from sustainably harvested local hard wood, these little bright benches will stand the test of time. Modern and simple, they’ll fit into many a room easily. (While I love the bright colors at top, there’s something awfully lovely about the Oregon walnut… just timeless.)
Finished with vibrant low VOC paint.
18”h x 18”l x 11”w.
Also available in 46″ length for $220.00.
