This is the Botanist table, designed by Dario Antonioni and Brandon Lynne for Orange 22. The graphic botanical cutouts bring whimsy to an otherwise pure and cold form. The Botanist series is available in multiple sizes and finishes.

This is an older piece from Scot Laughton, but I love it – a multi-functional bench/storage chest made out of birch plywood.

Graphic rugs from Brooklyn furniture company, BDDW. I love the subtle, random graphic that the leaves create.

I also appreciate how they design with modern, clean lines and set that against the natural form and texture of a piece of wood. Each furniture piece is hand-made from solid wood.

Poltrona Frau is a very very expensive Italian furniture manufacturer. Shown is the Larus chair, a super slick and futuristic chaise with massage. It would look right at home on your spaceship.

I was surveying an apartment for work a few days ago. Our client inherited the apartment from her grandfather and there was some seriously great furniture in the apartment!

My favorite piece, in a beautiful, light blue:

Eero Saarinen’s Womb chair, designed in 1948 exclusively for Knoll. The base is made of polished chrome and the chair is a fiberglass shell with fabric upholstering. I covet.

This chair was made from a single sheet of birch plywood. It is put together without any adhesives (though they use screws to make connections). Ryan Frank is a South African designer currently based in London.

I don’t know why I like these, but I just do. Loot lights:

The Eames Eiffel Side Chair, and its variants, is my favorite chair of all time. But the armless side chair is my favorite of the different shell types. The simple curved lines of the shell combine with the geometric eiffel base to compliment each other quite well.

The Eiffel Side Chair is available (as a reproduction) from Design Within Reach for a mere $199 each.

A curvaceous magazine rack for your wall that doesn’t look bad when there isn’t anything in it. And you can fit alot of magazines in the rack as well, which is good if you take a long time to throw things out like I do. Eriko Sukegawa is the designer. You can find him exhibiting at 100% Design this year.

I came across Modernlink today via a Treehugger post. Modernlink make beautiful, multi-functional furniture primarily from bamboo. I feel like I am going overboard by posting so many of their pieces, but I am a sucker for their smart remakes of every day household furniture.

I love that the drawer is seamless so that it masquerades as a floating cube to lean and pile magazines and other pieces of junk on.

My favorite part of this desk is its integrated filing tray. Sadly, none of these are at all affordable, so I won’t be owning any in the near future.

Based in Kansas City, many of Acronym Designs’ products are made not only from reclaimed wood, but from the cut-offs of reclaimed wood from another innovative company: Elmwood Reclaimed Timber. The dovetail joint between the concrete and wood is a nice detail that highlights the mix of raw and finished materials.
