Bovist is a decorative floor cushion, stool, and ottoman all in one. It has an appealing shape and high degree of seating comfort with a filling of small plastic balls. Large sections of embroidery give the cover, which consists of different colored fabrics, a particular charm and there is a knitted thread handle for moving Bovist to different places in the home.

The Beads & Pieces bowls series features beautifully crafted black ceramic bowls with pink beading accents, ceramic floral bouquets and wooden beads.

Mistic Candleholder
First to recommend
Description
This contemporary piece has been designed to be used as either a candleholder, a unique vase or simply as sculptural decor. The glass at the base is boras silicate glass, which is heat-resistant. The seven titanium coated, interwoven, tubes are deep enough to hold individual flowers, for a striking flower arrangement. This design won the "Design Plus" award in 2006.

Medusa Vase
First to recommend
Description
This black opaque sculpture, by Gaetano Pesce for Fish Design, is made from pliant resin, dripped and draped to create a tactile vase. The use of soft, fluid resin enables the ability to create the unique melted effect; this manufacturing process ensures each piece has dynamic features - the wide, elastic vase has a flat base which is draped with black drips. The vase is functional as well as decorative and is stamped by the artist.

"Golden Pearls" Dinnerware
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Ok, so this was a splurge for my holiday table - not really budget - but this Dibbern pattern is to die for. Very modern, very subtle, very elegant, great coupe shapes. For the time being, I could only afford 8 salad plates (and only because I get a discount), but this is the china I want. So if you were thinking of getting me something for my birthday... hint, hint.
