A bit pricy, but nice to look at. These sculptural China serving pieces are made in England and have gentle curves and shapes that abberate from the regular ho-hum.

This particular pot was created as a limited edition of 7 pieces for an exhibition at moss in May 2002 and sells for almost $3000. Did you know that Ms. Jongerius is also selling pots at Ikea for $30? It’s worth checking out.

Sorry for posting something so far out of budget but this is pretty amazing so I thought it was at least news worthy. Boontje teamed up with Swarovski to create this chandelier which can be adjusted via remote to either blink or remain constantly on.

pink and clear Swarovski crystal with white LED lights

Approximate dimensions: 65″ x 57″, depth 35.5″

This is a really nice design that looks timeless and will surely last long enough to pass on to your children’s children.

Yep, it’s a bit more than maybe most of you would like to spend on a coffee table, BUT it’s made out of recycled paper and it’s freaking cool. Save your pennies and it’ll be worth it, trust me.

Hello. I love Thomas Paul’s pillows. Especially the silhouettes (I really want the white plate with the silhouette of the woman, but it seems to have sold out everywhere). And here they are on sale, in a few different color combinations. Aqua is shown here (front and back) but there’s also orange and green combinations as well. Don’t they make you happy?

This chair caught my eye, as most red modernish chairs do. It’d be a great accent chair in any room, or used in multiples around a dining table. Either way, it’s a winner.

Ming Square is available in Red, Black, Natural, Apricot, Dark Espresso, Ivory, Olive Green and Mahogany Finishes. Made of solid wood and Birch Veneer, hand stained and machine polished with Polyurethane coat.

Truly a sculptural furniture piece. It was designed in the late sixties, and it’s worth mentioning that an original version sold at a Christie’s auction for $20,000 in 1999.

It’s made of a plywood shell with cushions on both the seat and back.

For those of you that want nothing but the essentials, these hands will certainly help you tell the time minimalistically. Is that a word? Or, you could get creative and make your own markers for each hour. You could also perhaps go to your local hardware or craft store and get something similar for less, but who wants to do that when there’s the ease of online shopping?

Short hand measures 16″; long hand is 21″. Black, powder-coated metal. Uses one AA battery, not included.

I truly love this.

“designed by kouji iwasaki, the wood LED clocks won top prize at the asahikawa international design fair in 2002. these clever clocks have a very thin layer of veneer that permits the LEDs to shine through. available in two sizes: long (7″ x 4″ x 3.5″) or tall (8.25″ x 3.5″ x 3.5″). includes AC adapter. available april 2006.”

I thought this was a delightful little table with an equally diminutive price.

If you’re looking for some affordable window coverings these are on super-sale. Since select colors and sizes are available, you may find it necessary to buy a size longer than you need to get a color you want. Here’s a tip: Hem the curtains at the top of the curtain. This removes the need for pressing and making the seams look perfect because the seams at the bottom are what your eye goes to naturally.

“Echoing the soft curves of mid-century modernism, Omar de Biaggio’s compact B-Pop Side Chair (2003) brings a sense of wit and impeccable styling to beech ply and stainless steel tubular seating.”
