It's been nine years since the Hee Seating Collection first hit the market, but it looks just as good now as it did back in 2004.

The chairs are made from galvanized solid steel, with outdoor powder...Read more

Make Co., of the Make Bike Rack fame (which we've posted before), now brings us this Wall Mounted Surfboard Rack called El Gringo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there aren't so many surfboard racks that look at home in your living/dining/hallway area as there are that look like a store display system.

If you love the work of Arne Jacobsen, you might as well get his typography Tea Towel Set alongside your Jacobsen cups and perhaps the Jacobsen Milk & Sugar Set. Not to worry, I'm sure there are more items to come along- let's just hope the powers that be don't go crazy and plaster his 1937 typography over every possible thing (like they did with Pantone). Made in India of...Read more

If you like patterns and postcards, you'd best snap up this box set now. Curated by New York City's Textile Arts Center, this collection has one hundred designs from ten international designers. I'd be tempted just to keep it as a pattern resource for inspiration purposes, but then it'd be a shame not to share such interesting postcards with friends and family (and postal workers, of course).
