Some of the most interesting interiors have a mix of modern and traditional elements, which is why some of us are always drawn towards pieces with a sense of history. After seeing the price on this Fender Floor Lamp from Wilkos Electric, I certainly was sold; I think it will live next to one of my more modern armchairs. Each Fender is individually handcrafted by Maciek Wilkos in his Montréal-based...Read more

Yes, the large tag on this Fatboy Picnic Lounge is a little obnoxious, but it's also a little pouch for your keys, phone, etc. so you don't lose them at the beach or park (or backyard?). Maybe we'll just tuck it under the lounge rug so it doesn't distract us and/or others from all the fun we'll be having. Four giant pins, a hole in the middle for a sunshade,...Read more

Spring is... springing, and if we shall take hints from all the spring newsletters hitting our inbox, it's time to think about sprucing up our outdoor area.

It's outdoor-friendly as it's made from poly-foam knit (it wipes clean) and a dense poly fill makes it suitable for an...Read more

You've got guests coming over for dinner, but your dining table is looking oh-so-sad and very unadorned, and you've not much money to dress it up with a fancy tablecloth. Tablecloths are a bother, anyway, as they need to be laundered and pressed after each use. So, what to do? How about adding some 'flourish' with a paper table runner? An ornate black scroll will dress up your tabletop while...Read more

Hooray! Sugru is now available at MoMA, and that means more people can fix and modify all sorts of things with this magic stuff. Sugru, if you're not familiar with it already (Simon wrote about it back in 2010), is a self-setting rubber that you can mold like play-dough.

Another wireless speaker, yawn... but wait, the very fact that it's not neon orange or some other outrageous color makes it seem more grown up and mature, and that certainly won't hurt your image, am I right? Solid walnut wood helps deliver a warmer sound than other plastic speakers, and, with the addition of neutral graphite speaker grills and buttons, you have an altogether pleasing package. The Grain Audio PWS...Read more
