oblique solid oak by marcel wanders

I thought this a clever idea for magazines…no doubt that some enterprising soul will be able to make this for a little less than what this particular one is selling for, but nevertheless, it’s worth pointing out.
And, I guess if you’ve got the money, you might as well spend it on this, right?

Price: $1378.00

Arik Levy: Kaz Candleholder/Sculpture

It’s a candleholder! It’s made of high quality clear crystal, so it’s got some heft to it and it’s named after one of the mountains in the Aegean part of Turkey (that looks like an iceberg.

Becca Stools

I feel more zen-like by just looking at this chair. Whatever that means.

“Like a light-boned, graceful bird, the Becca Stool seems only momentarily perched. It strains upward, ready to take to the sky again and glide away. You almost feel that you have to sit down on it to keep it from escaping, but the fine craftsmanship of this stool makes that a pleasure. And for when you’re not at home, you can keep it weighted down by using the bottom as a shelf for extra (stylish) storage.”

Steel Scoop Stool

So, you want super-duper-future-modern, do you? How ’bout this stool? Made of 1/4″ brushed steel plate, it certainly has clean hard lines, and if that doesn’t classify as super(d.f.)-modern, I don’t know what will.

Solitaire

This is a bit pricy, but you’re essentially getting two furniture pieces for the price of one! (I can essentially justify buying anything if I like it enough)

“The Solitaire, by Alfredo Haberli, is an upholstered chair with an organic shape that is designed in one piece. One of Solitaire’s armrests is like an intergral tabletop, ideal for reading, writing, or for use as a side table. The chair is equally suitable for the home and dynamic workplaces.”

Fortunata Modern Sofa

Hmm. I think this sofa is a good choice if you are on a limited budget…it’s also completely customizable (if that’s a word) with a variety of microfiber, leather and other fabrics to choose from. Apparently you can also change the “size and shape of any piece to suit your needs”. Not a bad deal.

Chicago 8 Box Shelving Unit

I’m positive I’ve seen this before. Maybe I might have passed it over for something more flashy or sleek, but upon further investigation I think it’s worth serious consideration. It’s a bookcase that won’t overshadow what you put in it, yet still stands strong on it’s design-award-worthy-legs.

You also have your choice of cherry or maple veneer shelving unit with tubular steel legs.

Playing upon nature’s natural defense mechanisms, this vase by Kathleen Walsh for Walkteria Living is humorous as well as slightly dangerous.
