Pretty much every time I walk by the Skandium Store near my flat I see this chair. It's lovely in person, just as it seems in the photos, with quiet lines and impeccable craftsmanship, plus it's comfortable (as all lounge chairs should be). Voted the Twentieth Century's 'Best Swedish Furniture Design', it's sure to be a piece that you won't get tired of. Designer: Yngve Ekstrom Available with upholstery in...Read more

Fashion designer extraordinaire Vivienne Westwood is known for her punk and rock-influenced clothing (she has ties to the Sex Pistols, helped Sandra Bullock look like a million bucks, and was the designer of choice when Sex and the City's Carrie almost married Big), but she also has a fancy line of wallpaper with Cole & Son.

Dune Grande Lounge: $1,895.00 (49.25w x 34d x 24.5h inches) Dune Lounge: $1,695.00 (39.25w x...Read more

Something about this light looks like sex incarnate. Maybe it's the sleek stainless steel finish or maybe it's because it reminds me of that Hussein Chalayan hat - the one that sucks the girl's dress up into it. See the video at Style.com and skip to 4:24. I'm no male chauvinist, but some people might consider that better living through design. Also available in nickel-painted steel. 19.7 x 6.7 inches...Read more

You may be inviting your musical friends and family over more often if you had this dining table with a built-in electric piano. I have a feeling that food and drink may not mix well with electronic equipment, so I'm hoping that that the internal keyboard mechanism is shielded from the inevitable spilled wine resulting from an impromptu post-dinner rock session. Of course, very few of you would have these...Read more
