M&Co Wall Clock, Five O’Clock

Are we there yet? That’s how I feel from time to time when waiting for the magic hour when I’m allowed to leave work.

“This clock is characteristic of Tibor Kalman, one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, and his iconoclastic design firm. Clean graphics and dry humor merge in a high-quality product. The only numeral on this clock indicates the most important time of day: the end of the workday.”

Aluminum case and dial, mineral-glass crystal, German quartz movement. Battery is included.

Nettie Bird Of Paradise

An quick and inexpensive way to change the look of a room is to change your throw pillows, and Nettie Design has some gorgeous new floral inspired looks. I particularly like this Bird of Paradise pillow.

-Available in four colors: Red, Light Blue, Grey, Cocoa
-Faux Suede, Hand Silk Screened
-Machine Washable
-Includes zipper and insert

One Chaise

This is a real risk. It’s a little whacky. And it is made of white vinyl. But there’s something that I really like about it. The head cushion is perfect. For the price, it might be worth reupholstering it in a really nice wool felt.

Low Cut Stool

I suppose this could be considered the I B Pop chair’s side table and/or coordinating stool, and for the price, it’s worth posting.

“This solid stool or side table (it doesn’t matter what you use it for: It works brilliantly as either.) has a secret. low cut can fold flat in a fraction of a second. Ideal as extra seating you can bring out just when you need it or as outdoor furniture that can be stored away neatly until the weather finally lets you sit outside. When low cut is unfolded it takes up almost no space at all.”

Maximum load 150kg.

360 x 345 mm

Available in (outside/inside) Blue/black, black/blue, white/red , white/white ,red/white

Purchase Information:

Price: $87.50

Drip Shelf & Puddle Table

These two pieces are quite exceptional, and for that reason only am I neglecting to provide the price. You might have heard of Susan Bradley’s Outdoor Wallpaper (if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a look), we posted it long ago, and recently she’s expanded her collection. These two pieces are customizable in color and size; please contact Ms. Bradley for pricing.

“Both Drip shelf and Puddle table are created from powder-coated steel in a range of colours – ‘Blood’, ‘Oil’ and ‘Milk’ (gloss red, gloss black, and gloss white respectively).”

All pieces are made to order in your chosen colour.

Drip Shelf, Dimensions: L500mm x W180mm x H180mm.
Puddle Table, Dimensions: L540mm x W350mm x H350mm.

Sculp Lamp

Another version of this lamp with a price tag that’s not too painful.

Price: $148.00

hold-it bookends

I have bookshelves behind my desk. But there are some books that I keep on my desk all the time because I reference them often, even though I intend to put them away. And I also have some other stuff on my desk: Even though I claim to like minimalism, the clutter appears. So something like this will make my desk appear more tidy, because it will keep it all in one area. The books and the pens and stapler and other various and sundry items. Sold!

Air Chair by Jasper Morrison

Understated minimal chairs perfect for the outdoors.

“Made of polypropylene with glass fiber, the light and stylish Air Chair is stackable, functional, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its single piece construction makes it durable but also flexible for comfort. UV protection ensures color won’t fade in the sun, and a hole in the recessed seat allows for water drainage. Produced by Magis.”

Maxisweep & Microsweep

“These clocks project a remarkably bright clock image, as large as 3 feet or more in diameter, on your wall or ceiling. The low voltage 25 watt lamp in the Microsweep, and the 50 watt lamp in the Maxisweep, are powered by an AC mains built-in electronic transformer with dimmer, so the image brightness can be adjusted to suit any mood.

Symbol Coat Rack

Holy cow. Such a simple coat rack, yet functions as a nice little wall piece/object when not in use. High marks for design, I’d say.

“This playful but sophisticated coat rack was the result of a domestic argument. We were out of closet space, and the coats were overflowing. But we had an aversion to wall hooks – empty and unattractive many months out of the year. We created the Symbol, a practical object we’re happy to look at year-round. During the coatless summer months the Symbol hangs as a purely aesthetic piece, as the hooks lay flat and belie their function. When needed, the hooks pull smoothly out to help you organize your stuff. Available in monochrome aluminum, or in white with vibrant anodized colors, the Symbol helps to keep your home photo ready – with or without the coats. ”

Materials: Monochrome: Anodized aluminum, steel, painted MDF. Color: Anodized aluminum, Powder coated steel, painted MDF.

Size: 36.25″l x 6″h x 1.5″d

Color (shown): $395.00

Monochrome (also quite nice): $445.00
