“The bold but spare Cross Pendant Light, winner of the red dot award in 2003, is a roto-molded double cruciform lamp that distills the iconic shape to its bones and accomplishes it with ironic refinement. When switched on, it becomes a luminous white or orange plus sign, radiating soft circles of light from each end. Hung laterally in multiples, a group of Pendants forms a constellation of stars. A light bulb fits into the cross’s center through the upper cylinder. The lamp can be suspended from above to achieve a soft, complex glow or placed on a table as a sculptural light source. Bulb (not included) Incandescent 60W/120V/E26/A19.”

Are you picky about plastic? These containers are considered classics (lots of good things came from the 60’s) and would make excellent lay-about storage for smaller items.

“This classic multipurpose container was designed by British born Alan Fletcher for the Italian company Mebel in 1968. This container consists of two interlocking parts, which allow you to switch colors if you purchase two or more units. Use it as a small storage container or use each part as a “catch it all” for keys, coins, paperclips, etc. Each united is stamped with the designer’s name. A timeless and practical design.”

Plastic melamine.
6″ diameter x 3″ high.

Ah, so nice to see modern affordable furniture…

“Minimalist lines with mid-century flair. Textured solid tweed upholstery is wrapped around thick padding and two bolsters. Crafted with a kiln-dried hardwood frame and polished nickel-plated steel legs. Simple assembly. Made in USA.”

74″l x 33″w x 26″h.

This is a really nice piece. If you have a room that is large this would be perfect for a minimalistic entertainment center. Hang the flat screen on the wall or place it on the Low Console and you’re set.

Simple and elegant, the Dordoni Worktop Table would make your workspace more efficient and make you more productive.

What great children’s furniture.

“piedras seating designed by javier mariscal for the magis me too collection right out of the stone age come these imaginative chairs, tables and benches designed like boulders.

made of durable polyethylene, these are built to stand up to years of rugged play, both indoors and out.”

Hmm, maybe you need this? Maybe it gives you some ideas about spending some time out-of-doors? I’ll be perfectly honest, the thing I like most about it is that it’s boring, and I mean that in a very good way. No fuss, no muss; it serves it’s purpose without advertising it’s a cooler in blaring cooler colors. It’s an under-the-radar cooler for all of you ‘cool’ types.

I love a good sale. But that means sometimes you don’t get exactly what you want. The small is sold out but the the large vase on the left (7″ diam x 8.25″h.) is available in mocha or indigo (but not clear).

Depending upon the type of shirt, this lamp will give off different types of “light and atmosphere.” So if you’ve got 5 shirts, you get 5 atmospheric effects; if you’ve got 200 shirts, then you’ve got a deal.

Such a nice accent table for the price…

“designed by patricia urquiola for kartell, the t table was a giant hit in milan. manufactured in durable PMMA. the surface of the table is reminiscent of embroidery, resulting in a product that is functional and extremely decorative. 20″ diameter top. available in 3 heights: 11″, 14″, and 17″ and 6 colors, the t table can be used alone or in groupings.
colors are approximate. due to the nature of this material returns will not be accepted on this item on assembled or opened packages.”

Availability mid august, though you can pre-order now…

Get this if you like tidy travel things and exercise. Puma’s TrainAway line makes it very easy to have all your running/workout gear organized properly since it all folds up into the jacket. There’s all sorts of tricks too, like your hotel key fits into a slot on the bottom of the shoe (so modern-day-secret-service-like) and when you buy the whole kit you also get a series of MP3 audio guides that make that jog/walk a little more interesting in various cities.

Available in Men’s or Women’s.

(It seems a bit difficult to actually get any concrete pricing online, so you might have to resort to actually calling a store near you)

This looks to be quite handy- a pair of cutting boards that work together or apart. Each board has a dished serving section on each side, perfect for a simple meal for two in front of that box in the living room that lights up and talks.

Materials: bamboo, nickel plated steel

There has been a lot of talk about the new Ikea collection but this is one of the first things that just doesn’t shout “I’m from the Swedish ubiquitous retailer!”. And what’s most exciting is that the cover is removable (dry clean only, but that’s better than nothing). If nothing else, you can take the cover to an upholsterer and have it reproduced in a different color.

This hand embroidered subversive pillow is quite delightful. Each pillow has varying colors of embroidery and therefore is one of a kind.
