Eames Rectangular Table

The attention to detail here on the legs sets this table apart from the mass of wobbly tables out there…
“Genuine innovation is rare. And perhaps no one has achieved it as often as Charles and Ray Eames. Their inventive design for this dining table makes functionality beautiful with an uncluttered profile well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. To give the table maximum strength and stability, Charles and Ray created a design that securely affixes the base to the 1-inch-thick tabletop; adjustable glides keep things on a even keel.”

Romance 06 Wall Lamp by Contraforma

This is the first time I’ve laid eyes on the wall lamp of Contraforma’s Romance collection, and I have to say I’m quite pleased that they’ve expanded into lighting.

“an unmistakably modern lamp with a neo-romantic twist. the stark durability of laser-cut, powder-coated steel is offset by fragile perforation, which gives way to the light from within and acts as a playground for illumination and shadows. 27 x 12d x 27 cm (10.6″ sq; 4.7″d). available in white with white interior, champagne with white interior, or graphite black with white interior.”

(I do have to warn you that shipping might take a little longer than you’re used to, ’cause it’s from across the pond…but that’s a small price to pay I think.)

Vintage Magazine Notecards

Recycle in style. These envelopes are from repurposed vintage magazines, with inserts of recycled paper, so you’ll be doing your part without sacrifice (like having boring stationary).

“These unique, one-of-a-kind notecards are made by designers Joshua Trees and Yván Martínez, who hand-select pages from the old magazines and convert them into envelopes. No computer scanning or printing is involved. The envelopes are made with original vintage magazine stock. The writing sheets are printed by an offset printer using “direct-to-plate” film-less technology, without toxic photographic chemicals.”

flipt lounge chair

I was wondering when someone would do this well. It’s a lounge chair that morphs seamlessly into a chaise lounge.

“the flipt was presented by the designer jeff miller for the first time during the 2003 international furniture fair and developed by baleri italia in 2005. this chair has a steel structure, foamed polyurethane seat and a chromed steel base. flipt is a lounge chair that, when called into action (or lack thereof) becomes a chaise lounge. with a simple and intuitive movement the double seat flips forward, opening up and thus doubling the length of the chair. when flipt is open in its chaise lounge configuration, the curve of the seat does not show any visible break, but instead repeats itself with fluidity and becomes an elegant and comfortable wave. this original and innovative solution allows the chair to save space when it is closed in its lounge state, and to not look like a folding chair when it is open. ”

Pablo : Lighthouse Lamp

Ooo, pretty.

“The Lighthouse lamp represents an ancient idea in light projection whereby light rays are transmitted through a lens to create a single brightly focused beam.

Fold Throw

This throw blanket would add that certain something to your bedroom. If you need that kind of thing. Also, it’s available in tons of different colors and stitchings and custom made to your specifications.

“Do you want a different blanket? Something unlike anything you’ve seen before?

We have a suggestion: FOLD blankets. They’re different. Bold. Colorful. Rare — you won’t find these at Target and never at Pottery Barn.

FOLD’s fluid geometric designs could only be produced by carefully hand-piecing the fabrics. Linda uses 100% wool flannel, and the blankets are great for year-round use.”
