SMC Furniture: EGW Headboard

First to recommend

Description

Brandon Phillips works with floor joists from former industrial buildings--in most cases, centuries-old heart pine. He likes the concentric circles revealed when the wood is sawn cross-wise. His wall-mounted queen-size headboard, five rows of six end-grain veneer squares, is edged in wenge, a dark, dense, nearly undentable tropical wood. Also available in king size.

Scrapile: Round Table

First to recommend

Description

Brooklyn-based designers Carlos Salgado
and Bart Bettencourt build their signature eco-friendly wood-stripe furniture with scraps from local wood shops (including their Williamsburg studio) and serious amounts of nontoxic glue. This 45-inch round tabletop was cut from a laminated square. (Chairs present interesting challenges to the method; they’ll puzzle that one out in the near future.) (via Elements of Living)

Bandwidth Table

First to recommend

Description

Furniture maker Eric Manigian buys wood from small millers who receive fallen and discarded trees. Each hand-joined, oil-rubbed piece from his Brooklyn studio is an improvisation that celebrates the unique markings and so-called imperfections of the timbers. The variegated Bandwidth table has a single flitch-cut edge. (via Elements of Living)

Tucker Robbins: Pierced Cube

First to recommend

Description

Tucker Robbins is a former monk turned world traveler turned "modern primitivist" furniture designer for whom rare, sustainable woods are like fine wine. The first acacia wood Hollow Cube he made was pierced through as an accident--proving there are no accidents. (via Elements of Living)

EZ-70's Chair

First to recommend

Description

Despite its name, the calligraphic appeal of the “EZ 70’s”? chair would likely have eluded the Archie Bunker crowd. The Lifeshop Collection in Miami merges mystical and historical elements of Asian furniture design with Western expectations of comfort. This wide, deep-cushioned canvas chair has a teak veneer, cusped arms and open sides. Matching lumbar pillow included, but no cup holder. Available in natural or wenge finish.

Verner Panton Rug

First to recommend

Description

In the last ten years, many designs by the extraordinarily inventive and productive Danish innovator Verner Panton, who introduced the Pop aesthetic to interior design, have been brought back into production. Panton's textiles generally exhibit a preference for intense colors and dynamic symmetry. With its stark palette and fluid geometry, this black-edged wool carpet (200 by 150 centimeters) is in some sense a departure, but a welcoming one indeed. (via Elements of Living)

White Webb: Intaglio Console Table

First to recommend

Description

To add history and caprice to an interior in one fell swoop, consider the interior design team of Matthew White and Frank Webb’s console table, from the partners’ first furniture collection. Selected engravings from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries are hyper-enlarged, then silk-screened onto laser-cut wood. This caryatid-supported side table was born of eighteenth-century illustrations of Pompeiian furnishings. (via Elements of Living)

M2L: Black and White Settee

First to recommend

Description

The broad, no-nonsense stripe deftly undercuts the austerity of this authorized reproduction of a double-wide "machine for sitting," aka modern settee, designed in 1923 by Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus. The durable fabric (a Bauhaus must), now reproduced in wool, cotton and viscose, was designed by Gropius’s contemporary Helen Jungnick. (via Elements of Living)

Description

The thrill of Thomas Paul’s hand-blocked and printed Chinese silk pillows lies not just in their splendid softness but in his hyper-naturalistic imagery and vivid palette. Trade only. (via Elements of Living)

Lights Up!: Black Mumm Shade

First to recommend

Description

With illuminating simplicity, the cylindrical silk shade of this minimalist table lamp is printed with abstractions of the chrysanthemum, the flower as beloved in the East as the rose is in the West. The lamp has a brushed-nickel base and would be as welcome at the bedside as on a side table. (via Elements of Living)
