Plastic leather chair

Updated Oct 5, 2007

Description

If for no other reason, this is great because it takes the boring old $1 patio chair you've seen a thousand times at Wal-Mart, and makes it just a little classy. (via swissmiss)

Swilken Bench by Acronym Designs

Updated Oct 5, 2007

Description

OK, this bench is $3500. But it is amazing. I love the design, I love the rounded shape (for more comfortable seating), and I love the fact that the designer who created it only makes sustainable furniture. I would be ecstatic to have this in my home. (via productdose)

Furniture Made from Airplanes

Updated Oct 5, 2007

Description

Nothing says "I'm a bad ass" like furniture made from old airplane parts. These stylishly-designed pieces are crafted completely from aviation salvage. The site doesn't list any prices, which means you probably can't afford it -- but just in case you're totally loaded, check it out. (via Boing Boing)

P'Kolino Clothes Tree

Updated Oct 5, 2007

Description

Admit it, your kid needs to start picking up after themselves. Chances are, they'll be more likely to remember to keep their clothes off the floor if they have their own little clothes tree to put them on. These are fun shapes, cool colors, and not made of plastic. Awesome! (via Babygadget)

Sidse Werner Clothes & Hat Stand

1st to recommend

Description

Not that I'd normally recommend dropping almost $1,300 on a coat rack, but this is a really nice coat rack. Besides, if you live in super-open loft space, it's essential -- and adds a little homey feeling to the place. (via Apartment Therapy)

Storage Box/Seat Combo

Updated Sep 29, 2007

Description

I'm a big fan of any home item that's dual purpose. If you can store things where you sit (or where you sleep, or whatever), it's a bonus. Most of have more stuff than we have space for, and living in clutter sucks. Plus, I like the design of these seats/storage boxes -- very cute, and patterns that back in big way. (via swissmiss)

Voice-activated Robo Massage Chair

Updated Sep 29, 2007

Description

If the name of this chair alone doesn't make you want it, I don't know what will. It's voice-activated, it massages you, and it looks like something Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget would hang out in to devise evil plans of world domination. Mwa ha ha! I love it. (via Shiny Shiny)

Picnic Table in the House

Updated Sep 28, 2007

Description

Love having picnics and eating outside? We're about to enter the time of year when that'd be an incredibly uncomfortable endeavor. However, with this table you can capture the feeling whenever you want -- in your hosue. Normally I'd never recommend putting a picnic table indoors (who wants to feel like they live at a park?), but this is just stylish enough to pull it off. (via poppytalk)

Description

OK gamers, this is for you. Sure, it looks a little childish -- and granted, it's probably better for kids -- but I think it'd work just as well as a fun addition to a grown-up's loft. The point is, they're Tetris pieces -- GENIUS. (via Gizmodo)

Morgan 10 Drawer dresser

Updated Sep 24, 2007

Description

As I've mentioned before, it can be incredibly difficult to find furniture that feels a little classical, while still maintaining a modern sensibility. After all, no one wants to live in grandma's house or some futuristic space pod. This storage set from Wonk finds the perfect balance. (via Apartment Therapy)

Barcelona Black Leather Chair

Updated Sep 24, 2007

Description

Even if you're no longer living it up in you swanky bachelor pad, I think it's important to have a least one or two pieces that say: "a man lives here." Depending on her taste, she probably won't let you keep it in the living room, but for your basement getaway, your office, or your home theater/media Mecca, this piece will add a touch of style and sophistication.

Contraforma

Updated Sep 22, 2007

Description

It can be incredibly difficult to find furniture that finds that balance between modern and tradtional. Every time I'm out shopping, I feel like I'm either stuck with stuff my parents had when I was growing up, or some ultra-modern, metal thing that looks like it should part of a loft in Brooklyn.

Alien Furniture

Updated Sep 22, 2007

Description

Oh dear goodness, this is the freakiest, scariest thing I have ever seen. If the Alien movies don't give you nightmares, this table will.

That said, I can't but love it. No one will ever forget your house parties, or be at a loss for things to talk about when they're eating off your table that's supported by the sci-fi demon of death. (via Neatorama)

Bookshelf with Hidden Home Theater

Updated Sep 22, 2007

Description

We live in Austin, where home prices (and rent) are ridiculous. You have to pay insane amounts of money for fairly small spaces if you don't want to move waaaaay out into the suburbs. So we're always trying to save as much space as possible.

That's why I love this bookshelf/hidden home theater. It allows you the luxury of a big screen without taking up an entire room. (via Geeksugar)

Strada Chair

Updated Sep 22, 2007

Description

OK, first I have to warn you: this chair is not cheap. In fact, it costs more than I paid for my car. That said, it's made of laminated layers of wood then shaped by hand, so it's both beautiful and (probably) incredibly comfortable. If you have the means, it could be an amazing piece for your home.

Cool Kids Kitchen

Updated Sep 21, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Despite my attempts to interest her in sports, bugs, etc, my daughter loves playing with baby dolls and kitchen toys -- go figure. The least I can do is find her stuff that isn't designed to be as cheap, loud, and poorly-made as possible. Check out this cool modern set from Hase Weiss -- the product page is in German, but follow the via link for more info from Babygadget. (via Babygadget)

Lu Chair

Updated Sep 21, 2007

Description

This chair looks like Roly Poly, which makes it awesome. Plus, it appears it'd be very cushy, comfortable, and actually provide back support. The perfect place to sit! But really, I'll be honest, what won me over is it's resemblence to a bug. (via productdose)

Modern Rocking Chair

Updated Sep 15, 2007

Description

Made of water-resistant wood, this is a super-cool rocking chair for you to keep by the pool, or just out on your front porch. Why settle for a traditional rocking chair when you can longue, rock, and collect your thoughts on a well-designed, stylish piece of furniture? (via productdose)

Sand & Birch Design - Luxury design Contract design

Updated Sep 15, 2007

Description

This sofa is not only unique and very attractive, it's made from velvet wood and covered in polyurethane, so I imagine it's suprising comfortable for a piece of furniture that comes without cushions.

It'd look great on a screened-in patio, or even in your living room, depending on your aesthetic. (via Apartment Therapy)

Milano Brown Leather Storage Bench

Updated Sep 12, 2007

Description

Alright dudes, this one's for you. Anything in stylish brown leather says: "I'm the most-sucessful bachelor you know," so if that's the impression you're trying to make, this is perfect.

Plus, you can store stuff inside. Useful for wine glasses and a bottle of red for a smooth transition into the romantic part of the evening -- or a good quick to cram all the unwashed clothes you left all over the living room just before she showed up unanounced. (via productdose)

Leaning Bookshelf

1st to recommend

Description

OK, in practice, this might be kind of annoying. I've had my fair share of cutesy storage stuff around the house, and -- while it looks cool -- they're not worth it if they don't keep your house clean.

That said, if you don't have tons of books, and a relatively empty room, this is a fun way to keep your books in order and fill up the room with something fun. (via Apartment Therapy)

Rocking Wheel Chair

Updated Sep 8, 2007

Description

This is a nice take on an old classic. No nursery is complete with a rocking chair in the corner, but in a more modern home these tend to look out of place (unless they're really, really nice).

But this chair will not only fit right in, it's design allows you to rock like you've never rocked before. Pretty rad. (via productdose)

Ref-use Chair

Description

Sure, this chair looks cool, and would be perfect on your deck or patio, but what makes the Ref-use Chair even cooler is that it's made completely from reclaimed plywood scraps.

A great piece of furniture that you can feel good about owning. Sounds fairly perfect to me. (via Treehugger)
