While playing rock-n-roll in Seattle for 7 years, I lived downtown in an enormous 3 story house located in a hip, young neighborhood known as Capitol Hill. The house had a large bay window that looked out onto the street and in the living room was a huge painted mural drawn by a famous cartoonist who [...]
My friend has an extensive wine collection. Whenever he travels, he ships back at least a case or two from his destination to store in his wine cellar. Unfortunately he just sold his house and has moved into a much smaller place in SoHo. As anyone who lives downtown can tell you unless you have a lot [...]
Those crazy Italian kids at nobody & co have outdid themselves once again. Their Bibliochaise combines my two favorite pastimes, lounging and reading. The chair looks quite comfy but I wonder how well the books stay on their shelves and obviously your going to have to choose the placement of your books carefully. Available in black or white, [...]
If we could just turn our world over to designer Karim Rashid, I’m convinced we would all live more colorful and efficient lives. There really isn’t anything he can’t design so it should be no surprise he has reinvented the traditional flower pot to be a more loving and secure environment for your flora and fauna. Before I [...]
I love this cool lamp by Swedish design firm WIS design. The pattern is gorgeous but take a closer look, yes those are panties! Totally tongue in cheek but also a very beautiful modern lamp, The XL String was inspired as a way to brighten up those long, dark winter nights in Sweden. Seen from outside your [...]
To continue our folding furniture theme have a look at this hidden treasurecalled the the Trunk Station. On the outside, this trunk looks like the one I schlepped to camp every summer but open it up and Bam! a home office. I think it looks tidy and well organized but I don’t know if I could work out [...]
As any city dweller can tell you-flat is all that. So check out these amazing flat furniture pieces by German designer Nils Frederking that were featured on Treehugger.com. I think the table is truly amazing, who would of thought a round table could be so compact? The photos below give you an idea of how they [...]
Artecnica’s Knowhere Clocks are a must have if you want to the know what time it is in other countries. Each comes with multiple hands and labels so you can create your own time keeper. I especially love the Cosmos version, which has eight different landmarks from around the world to choose from. Go to online [...]
OK, I know living in the city you would be hard pressed to find a rock to throw at someone and a stick would be even harder to come by but I am filing this under, “Seriously?”. No this is not a joke someone is really selling a stick in a box, in fact [...]
These chandeliers are so intricately designed that at first glance you just see a beautiful piece of handiwork. But if you look more closely you can see they actually draw a lot of inspiration from the sea. The Octopus Chandeliers designed by Adam Wallacavage displays his love for the eight-legged creature in some of the most [...]
I have Spring fever. All the flowers are in bloom and the trees are starting to bud new leaves. But we probably have at least another month or two till Summer kicks into high gear so I was excited to see these cute little leaf magnets from UptoYouToronto.com. They vary in size and color and [...]
I have several friends with small dogs and I know they are gonna love this next post! Dog crates are ugly but this one is very modern, rather like a piece of art than a containment unit. It’s so funky and unusual you might choose to leave the cover off. I am sure it could also be [...]
This rug (yes it’s a rug) is made out of vintage leather belts so you can bet it’s durable. A different take on the leather rug, each piece is uniquely different. A fantastic accent to wood flooring and since it’s made of leather you know it’s only going to get better with age. Go to [...]
I wish I had more info on this chair but the only thing I found was in Japanese :< It’s a truly an engineering marvel as well as a great party trick. I am amazed at how strong it is!

The DROOG RAG CHAIR by Tejo Remy (you may recall him from our review of his one-off piece CHEST of DRAWERS) presents us with yet another overpriced piece. I kind of feel like Tejo owes us some of that bling because my brother and I made something very similar to this when we were young in protest of [...]
