Ostrich Table

We stopped by one of our favorite SoHo stores Bobby Berk Home the other day and we were immediately drawn to this quirky little side table, you know how much we love the fringe readers. ;-> So many levels of ‘want’, where do we begin!? The Ostrich Table is from Global Views but you can buy it at Bobby Berk Home. Did you know Ostriches live in small herds? Guess that means you’re gonna need more than one!

We call this Hollywood Asian. Wish our camera were a little better because this picture really doesn’t do it justice. The luminescent table and dramatic background gave the vignette a lot of glamor.

Sleep in Style with the Color Line by Magniflex

Before we  leave this green earth, we will all spend more than a third of our lives sleeping. Yet when you think of it, people pay way more attention to the sofas they sit on, than the beds they sleep in.

The bright and colorful mattresses are a unique concept whose time has come.

Bean Bag Reinvention

We could spend hours snuggling into a comfy womb-like bean bag.  Sure you sacrifice your dignity when trying to get in and out of them-most unflattering, but the squishy seat can’t be beat in the cozy department. Once a staple of 1970′s apartment living, the bean bag’s popularity has diminished over the years. Swedish designers, Form Us With Love, have tried to change that, by giving the simple bag a  much needed face lift.

Colored Pencil Sculptures


Inspired by animals, plants, Ernst Haeckel, Odilon Redon, and mythology, designer Jennifer Maestre’s sea urchin sculptures look like intricate wood sculptures and in a way, they are. These unique pieces are created using  100′s colored pencils.

To make each pencil sculptures, she takes hundreds of pencils, cuts them to size , drills a hole in each one so she can sew them together.  She takes care to sharpen each pencil before she beads the pencils into shape.
