It is always a relief to see affordable lighting options, especially in these days of over-the-top-wondrous designs that cost more than a new car. The Prism Pendants hit the right note as they are very budget friendly ($99 - $129) and have geometric brass frames with glass panels. Add one or two to a hallway, bar area, or powder room for an instant update. Adjustable hanging heights. Antique Brass-finished frame...Read more

How much easier would your life be if you had a Duo Notebook? At least a little, as you'd be able to keep track of two projects, or split your ideas into drawings/sketches and handwritten notes. Half of the pages in a Duo are blank and the other half are lined. And, as you can see from the photo above, the cover is split equally with a different color for...Read more

What the what(!). If you're not impressed with the subtle colors of this stool, side, and coffee table, then we can't be friends. Steel frames with tonal powder coated panels combine to create these versatile little surfaces from Slowood Studios and Hawkins New York. With their smaller silhouettes, they can easily fit in beside a sofa or bed, or nestle alongside a favorite reading chair. Choose between three different sizes...Read more

Well, aren't these a sight for sore wallets? At $199 for the ash, grey, yellow or black barstool, and even less at $149 for the smaller stool, the Pal collection over at Hem hits the right price point. They're easy to assemble, lightweight, and sturdy. Plus, for a fun fact, the curved legs were inspired by skateboard-making techniques. The circular metal bracket adds strength as well as a spot to...Read more

How about a little hardware with your dining table? An oxidized iron X-base provides support for solid (sustainable) mango wood planks while smaller touches of polished aluminum adds a hint of industrial gleam. Inspired by old Swedish tapetserarbords (wallpaper tables), the designer Jonas Wahlström intends for this table to be just as suitable in the dining room as in an office or workspace. 86"Wx36"Dx29.5"H Designed by Jonas Wahlström Top: Solid...Read more

I've been a fan of the Mabeo furniture studio ever since Peter Mabeo presented the Maun Windsor Chair at ICFF years ago, so it's exciting to see they're expanding their collection with special objects like these Nika Coat Hooks. Canadian designer Garth Roberts collaborated with Mabeo’s artisanal studio in Botswana to create the set of five hooks made from sustainably harvested panga panga and white oak wood. Bright colors frame...Read more

Corner space won't go to waste with this shelf by Fferrone. A minimal, ribbon-like shape fits into corners to provide a suitable space for books or other smaller items. Consider several for a larger storage statement or just one for displaying your favorite cache of collectables. Made of powder coated steel in Chicago IL. Dimensions: 36" L x 10" D x 9" H...Read more

While we're all still catching up from the holiday break, let's take a moment to imagine a weekend spent in the Vipp Shelter. Yes, Vipp is a Danish company known mostly for its industrial garbage cans, but now they've thrown their hat in the ring for prefab homes. And, once you take a look at their 600-square-foot prototype, you'll be glad they did. Galvanized steel and large glass sheet windows...Read more

You need more storage options for your stuff? What are you, a pack rat? Just kidding, I know you aren't- everything you have is absolutely necessary... right? Maybe the Cargo Box will work best to corral the clutter, as it's shaped like a classic toolbox with a few inner compartments and a thin wooden handle for easy carrying. If you prefer more inner compartments, be sure to consider the Toolbox...Read more

Here's another very suitable option for keeping yourself warm. This 100% Baby Alpaca Jacquard Squares Throw is a collaboration between designer Alyson Fox and Hawkins New York and has hand embroidered detailing as well as a reverse colored back. A grey, blue, and black color scheme won't clash with your living or sleeping areas, so keep it handy to have an extra layer of warmth while reading a book or...Read more

Why are you seeing a camp bed in the dead of winter? Because it's one heck of deal for one heck of a nice looking camp bed, that's why. State-of-the-art patented hinges and galvanized spring steel legs combine with a water-resistant, machine washable cover to support up to 350 pounds. For travel, camping, or for your overnight guests, this is a temporary bed that could be left out (maybe?) more...Read more

What the what?! A triangular line light is just what these dreary and dark evenings need, and, if you're lucky enough to have several hundred dollars, you might want to check out the Walnut Line Light by Fort Makers as well. Either (or both) would scratch any minimally-designed lighting needs you may have, as it'd be hard not to fall a little in love with such spare graphic designs executed...Read more

Bad news: this Doppio Round Cutting Block is not cheap. It would be so much better if it lost a zero in its price tag, as right now it's about the price of a very decent armchair. Alas, we'll settle for appreciating the double layer of marble- the dark side is Nero Marquina marble from Spain and the white is Carrara Marble from Italy- and imagining it upon our tabletops....Read more

A new Meg Callahan quilt is just what you need, considering the cold air that's bound to make itself at home for another few months. And, unlike the smaller throw sizes available from Matter, this quilt is sized for a queen bed or as a top layer for a king. This design is a collaboration between Meg Callahan and Hawkins New York and features hand stitching with a screen-printed graphic....Read more

Ah, January. It's the time of year where you can finally stop thinking about what to buy for others and be a little selfish. Or should we say practical, as you perhaps need to organize your desk for this new year? If so, you'll want to take a look at Kim Colin and Sam Hecht's Formwork Collection. Various components bring order to your chaos; stacking trays, boxes, and stands create...Read more
