Model Six Stool

Model Six Stool
Several years ago when we posted this stool, 2007 to be exact, it was simply known as the 'Covey Stool' from the designer Jeff Covey. Now its name is the Model Six, and it's on sale from MoMA Store for $349.95. Chrome-plated steel legs snap together and the walnut seat can be adjusted from 24"-28" height, making this strong stool an excellent flat-packed option for your bar or counter area....Read more

V.Stand

V.Stand
This small V.Stand is not for your backside, but for any little thing weighing up to 20 pounds. That shouldn't be a surprise once you find out that it's made from lightweight corrugated plastic and weighs less than a pound. Maybe set a drink upon its surface, or a small stack of books... or a cat? You name it, as long as it's not too terribly heavy, this stand will...Read more

Tokyo 2 and New York 1 Bitmap Blanket

Tokyo 2 and New York 1 Bitmap Blanket
Gah! I know that Cristian Zuzunaga's Digital Sunrise Blanket might have been a little too much color and pattern, but don't let that dissuade you from considering some of the other knitted blankets in the collection. Tokyo 2 Bitmap Blanket is the one above, and New York 1 Bitmap Blanket the one below. Both are a little less crazy with their limited color palette, yet they'll still prove that you...Read more

Oon Power Outlet

Oon Power Outlet
Power outlets are ugly. We do all manner of things to hide or hang them out of sight, because a mess of cords isn't pretty, no matter what you do to them. However, maybe, just maybe, this Oon Power Outlet might change our minds, as it divides each electrical socket into individual blocks, allowing the unit to flex and rotate. A soft color scheme and cloth cord add a familiar...Read more

Amuze Salad Set, Stripe

Amuze Salad Set, Stripe
Yep, they're salad servers. Not for the more traditional tabletop, of course, but for those of us that prefer the very modern take on just about everything, they tick the right box. There's something a little science fiction about them, don't you think? As if they'd look right at home in 2060, if robots haven't taken over salad serving by then. There's also a serving set ($33.90) to match, fyi....Read more

Modern Mailboxes

Modern Mailboxes
Someone has mentioned to me that we need a new mailbox, and given that my job is to find modern, well-designed things, I feel that I cannot ignore such a plea. So, what you see below are all the items I see as acceptable options. However, I don't necessarily feel that there's a clear front runner. Perhaps we should have a vote on some sort of social media outlet? Hmm,...Read more

Graded Shelving Kit

Graded Shelving Kit
Now, here's an interesting take on a shelving kit. Notice how the legs thicken towards the bottom? That enables "precisely machined plastic collars" on each of the five shelves to fit at certain spots, thus creating shelving space. Those legs are produced in collaborations with RJH Custom Pool Cues, as those of you who play pool might have noticed. No other hardware is needed, just slide the shelves over the...Read more

Walnut Keyboard Tray

Walnut Keyboard Tray
What's so great about a keyboard tray? Well, nothing if you're a strict minimalist and don't have a bunch of little things rattling around on your desk. However, if you're like the rest of us, you could use a small spot to stash a few pens, paperclips, extra batteries and other little miscellany that has no home. A slim profile keeps the ergonomics of Apple's keyboard and the natural black...Read more

Magnote

Magnote
Perhaps you have a favorite notebook, but I bet you a dollar bill that it doesn't have magnets as a main component. Huh? Yep, magnets. The Magnote, currently a Kickstarter project, has neodymium magnets embedded in its spine, allowing you to easily carry several at once while keeping your ideas or projects separate. It lays completely flat when opened, so you can take advantage of the full page surface. Carry...Read more

Metamorphic Rock Bookend

Metamorphic Rock Bookend
You may not see the allure in stone shards cast in cement only to then be shoved upon a shelf to hold books in place, but these Metamorphic Rock Bookends now occupy the number one spot on my wish list, and will likely stay there until the holiday season. Three flat, perpendicular sides enable the bookend function while one decorative, textured side provides sculptural interest. Each unique set is signed...Read more
