The NOOK Chair by Henry Sgourakis

Pin it

I always loved hammocks, the association with springtime and lazy summer days. Just laying on that comfortable netting as you drift off into a impromptu nap. Well it seems Henry Sgourakis was inspired by hammocks as well when he created the NOOK chair.


The chair and ottoman combination created with similar crocheted rope work, creates a doily like bungie net to catch your tired body. As you lay back the material expands and you fit comfortably inside.

Over 2,500 wine and champagne corks make up the seat of this unique stool and ottoman. If you’re a big drinker then you may be able to make your own, but in the meantime you will have to pay $980 each.

This Accordion Shelf designed by Eisa Srozyk is a creative way to look at cabinet doors. Sadly it doesn’t make beautiful music if you pump the doors, but the fluid motion creates of this piece makes it beautiful either open or closed.

Fuego Element Portable Grill

Pin it

Summer is slowly approaching, but soon it will be time to hit the park and relax in the sunshine. Nothing makes the perfect summer day better then adding delicious BBQ. If you live in a city, then you know that this can be difficult for apartment dwellers like me. Enter the Fuego Element Portable Grill.


You can throw this over your shoulder and head to your nearest park for some grilling goodness. Upon arrival to your  favorite spot the built in legs fold out and you can begin cooking your burgers on nearly 160 square inches of cooking space.
