Leggero Six Drawer Dresser

What I really like about this storage is that because it is low profile, it doesn’t give a weighty feel to a room, but it still really provides a lot of storage. If you had an armoir in the same space the room would feel smaller. But because this is so low, it really has a neutral effect.

Also, it would work really well in any room: bedroom, office, livingroom, etc.

Made in Italy.

mshelving: Media Console with Walnut doors

I just found a great company called “loadbearing” which makes all kinds of great tables, storage, etc. What’s cool about the company is that each piece they make can be customized by you, the consumer. They have a flash interface in which you can drag and drop different color styles or wood types and the price updates accordingly.

“At 81″ wide, 20″ high, and 16.8″ deep, this sturdy unit is the perfect size to support your TV, peripherals and stereo, and store your DVDs as well, hiding the embarrassing ones behind nice closed doors.”

t table by patricia urquiola for kartell

If I had known how inexpensive this table was, I would have posted it a long time ago. Patricia Urquiola is a genius and her designs are going at a premium these days, so I was thinking this table would have been a lot more expensive.

Agave – Sphere Pendant

Check it out: it’s energy-efficient, on sale, and has different light filters so you can change the mood whenever it strikes you.

“As they experimented with lighting designs that used fluorescent bulbs, designers Rossi and Tedesco set out to create an energy-efficient fixture that was also technically and aesthetically sophisticated. The result is the modular Agave Lamp, a ribbed, radial structure made of acrylic and resembling the rosette of an agave plant. The Agave produces a light as clear as tequila (which comes from the plant) and optimizes light distribution, whether throughout a room or over a table top. Each model comes with three primary colored light filters, for a total of nine shades of light to let you customize the roomโ€™s hues according to mood or event.”

Museum Banners

Have you ever wondered where all the advertising banners for art shows go when the shows are over?

Better Wall works with over 20 major art museums and sells them as large scale wall art (with portions of the proceeds going back to the museums). Any damaged banners are recycyled as raw materials and keep vinyl out of landfills, and you can feel good about that.

The stock is always changing (obviously) and is definitely limited edition.

The piece shown here is from the Robert Bechtle show at the SFMOMA.

Dimensions: L: 72 ” (183 cm) : W:35 ” (89 cm)
