This acrylic I frame table is perfect for small spaces where dark wood would clutter a space, and would also be good in multiples for large spaces.

The Space lounge chair shell features a fiber-reinforced synthetic material, matte lacquered in silver or with high-gloss lacquer in white or black. The front is separated into four sections to provide support and comfort to the seat, back and arms which are upholstered in fabric or leather. The base is powder coated steel, available with swivel or fixed.

This might look good in an entry way, or perhaps several lining a wall would look nice in a large space.

This would certainly not be an impulse buy for most of us, but if you happen to have it in your budget and decorating needs, the saruyama sofa set may just be what you’re looking for. The set of three sofas was designed by Toshiyuki Kita for Moroso in 1989. Each sofa has it’s own unique style and design, and all three fit together to make a circular seating arrangement.

Made of a self-supporting frame in stress-resistant polyurethane foam at varied densities.

Last night I attended a great event in Los Angeles at All Purpose (a great up and coming menswear store) sponsored by Citizen:Citizen and the endlessly charming Philip Wood. Also in attendance was super talented designer Cory Ingram of the Crude Line, and the design/engineering genius Ethan Imboden behind the little steel line by JimmyJane.

It was refreshing to see all the lines in person and get to meet the minds behind the designs.

We’ve posted this before, but this is the first time I’ve seen it used as a record player stand with storage underneath for records.

For a limited time, DWR is offering free standard shipping on the classics. So, if you’ve been wanting something, now there’s an excellent excuse to get it.

“The Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair (1946) has been referred to as the “most famous chair of the century,” with a form that relates directly to the human body and holds no secrets as to how it succeeds technically. Low-slung, with an expertly crafted molded plywood seat and back, this chair cradles the user and features hardwood inner ply for durability.”

If you have a need for a lock box then you should act fast because there are only 9 left.

Designed by stotz-design for blomus of germany, the muro key box is wall-mounted and has a lock and key closure.

dimensions: 9.4″h x 9.4″w x 2.2″d

Man, I’d buy this if we needed a media console (though it might take some time to save up for it). It’s so simple and I love the sliding walnut doors.

“Four sliding doors integrate beautifully into the piece, enhancing the console’s rectangular shape. Each door reveals adjustable shelving, easily accommodating large and small objects. Wood veneer available in 3 finishes, with a stainless steel base. Shown with a Dark Walnut case and Natural Walnut doors.”

85l x 19w x 23h

The Min Bed by Luciano Bertoncini is a perfect little bed for a guest room or even the master bedroom. 

Also featured, is the Tolomeo Floor Lamp.

For those of you who enjoy the holidays, and all the decorations that come with it, here’s a gingerbread house that takes a new spin on the old tradition. If you choose one for your own family or for a friend who would appreciate the new interpretation, it’ll be worth a chuckle or two from whoever sees it.

“We gave the classic holiday treat a mid-century makeover, complete with garage and rock garden. An unique gift and sure-fire conversation piece, it comes assembled and ready to enjoy.”

“An ultra cool design approach delivers luxurious comfort in a handsome modern sectional. The polyester bouclé upholstery has a soft pebbled texture. The pillowtop cushions and the sleek, low seat deck make for an inviting place to relax after your busy day. Sectional styling means it’s versatile enough for a small space or able to be expanded considerably. Add and subtract pieces to adapt to your modern lifestyle and the shape of your room. The bottom cushion/pillowtop fastens with Velcro, which keeps it in place and and makes it easy to remove for cleaning. A strong and beautiful stainless steel base provides a solid foundation for this elegant modern furniture. Includes five matching pillows.”

I’m actually really flabbergasted at the well proportioned design of this chair coupled with the amazingly affordable price.

This is a great extension dining table that has a mechanized self-storing leaf.

“The Parentesi Table (2002) by Luigi Ronzoni gracefully extends to seat up to 6-8 people without interrupting the design’s simple lines or resolved details. Both ends of the tabletop pull out on smooth-gliding metal tracks to make room for a self-storing butterfly extension leaf, which easily unfolds and locks into place. Like the remainder of the tabletop, the extension leaf features an apron on either side to hide interior tracks and maintain the table’s profile. Each table is produced using CAD software and CNC routers, for precision craftsmanship and performance. Made in Italy.”
