This Score Storage by Debra Folz integrates a textile to soften up the hard edges of case goods. The interchangeable 100% wool panels are magnetically attached to the outside, so they're easy to switch out when you want a color change. Combine several colors if you're feeling particularly brave or stick to a nice monochrome palette; either way, it will be nice to mix things up with a quick color...Read more

Oh, the various situations where this map would be useful. One: to test your guest's knowledge of states (Where is Arkansas!) and then get depressed at how little they know. Two: to mark the states you should never ever visit due to their political atmosphere. Three: to plan your escape should your family encounter imminent danger, though that would be foolish considering interstate highways aren't drawn in. Four: to practice...Read more

This cutting board has a Z shape to provide two useful functions. The front ridge rests against the edge of the counter to keep the board from sliding forward. The back keeps your knife in place while cutting and may also be used to funnel your chopped veggies into a bowl or pan. And, if that's not enough for you, that same Z shape allows the board to stand upright...Read more

What you'd think was merely a design feature is its heat sink (which if you have no idea what that is, here's a link to images of lamp heat sinks). That and the giant acrylic...Read more

Why would you want big chunks of wood in your home? Who knows, maybe you're a bit crazy. However, soft poufs covered with a a photo wood stump print are completely understandable, and, in some cases, recommended. Use these poufs as an ottoman, stool, or side table (they're supposedly pretty sturdy). The pouf cover can be taken off and cleaned as it has a zipper. Björk (birch): 18.4" x 15.6"...Read more

Let's have a quick little test on your design knowledge. Is the well known Casa Milà or 'La Pedrera' building designed by Le Corbusier or Antoni Gaudi? Hint: The building is located in Barcelona (image of Casa Milà here, just in case you want to take a peek before finalizing your answer). This coffee table, like the Pedrera lamps (aka PD2, PD4), was designed by Barba Corsini in the 1950s...Read more
