You can't go wrong with Iittala's Kartio Collection, as the series dates back to 1958, when Kaj Franck first created their simple, balanced design. There's quite a few subtle colors (you're sure to...Read more

Look at this cute little guy. He's got slender steel tubes for legs and a rounded rectangular seat perfect for perching on while you remove your shoes. Or perhaps you'll share the seat with someone else- there's just enough room for two. Norm Architects liked the size of traditional piano benches, which are just wide enough for a pair of people. The Meet comes with a removable non-slip felt cover...Read more

These end grain ButcherBlocks are very durable; the design allows you to cut in between the fibers of the wood instead of across them like most cutting boards. This makes for easy maintenance and a very long lifetime, which are two important features for any cutting board over the $100 mark. Available in walnut, maple or cherry. Each board features HollerDesign's signature bowdock circular wood inset with its “born on”...Read more

Well, the hand-woven rugs strike the right balance of color and pattern without overwhelming the senses. There's a little of a digital/pixel feel that keeps it modern while the mostly neutral hues will work well with your existing pieces. Designer: Sam Anderson Material: 100% New Zealand Wool Small:...Read more

One might argue that 'clever' may not be the best description of Raumgestalt's Picture Ledge, as it is, in fact, two pieces of wood held together by an elastic band. The more craftier among us may be able to replicate the design with just a little elbow grease (to cut the wood) and determination (to search for the right sort of rubber band). However, if you refuse to pick up...Read more
