Esque Birdhouse

First to recommend

Description

There's something a little unsettling about a birdhouse that completely ignores much of the sense of security and privacy that we generally associate with homes. But what does a bird care, right? Pushing anthropomorphic sentiment, this handblown piece is beautifully delicate to the eye and sufficiently quirky enough to give you a sense of handmade craft.

Staach Cain Collection Slatted Chair

First to recommend

Description

A classic variation on the Cain Chair from Staach, this Slatted Chair kind of feels like a piece from your classy grandparent's outdoor dining set. Nothing wrong with that, but various color choice give you an option for making it feel like your own. That it's made form sustainably and locally forested wood makes it feel that much more contemporary.

Table #28

First to recommend

Description

Designed by Christoph Boeninger in 2006, this Table #28 is made from a single piece of ribbed anodized aluminum, bent into a sculptural form. The industrial feel of the piece makes it perfectly appropriate for a contemporary environment, but the natural anodized table is also suitable for outdoor use.

Artek Kanto

First to recommend

Description

It's hard to top the versatility of an item of decor conceived as either a magazine rack or a firewood rack, but you can see how this smart and simple Kanto from Artek could make a stylish solution out of either task. A more common tan version exists, but this piece with red laquer will give either an interior or exterior space a little more flavor.

Popoutz Birdfeeders

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

An understated and unorthodox birdfeeding solution, this Popoutz Birdfeeder set (3) is shaped less like a birdhouse than a piece of contemporary design. Made with recyclable polypropylene, the birdfeeders are easy to assemble and come with insect-flavored (!) birdseed.

White Possum Round Side Table

Erik Spiekermann Industrial House Number

First to recommend

Description

The industrial house number is a dependable facet of external design on a contemporary home, but metallic hues tend to look a bit formulaic after a while. Recommended with caution, this Orange version can add some unconventional design appeal.
