About this list:

Blu Dot was founded in Minneapolis in 1996 by by John Christakos, Charles Lazor and Maurice Blanks. The firm began as a loose collaborative of three college friends trained in architecture and art and is based on the premise that design should be affordable. The partners chose furniture as the subject of interest and opened a studio and operations, and Blu Dot has since been seen on the sets of well-known television shows (Friends and ER), and the brand has won numerous national and international awards.

I appreciate understatement.

Description

If there's a brand out there that does fun and contemporary variations on mid-century modern design better than Blu Dot, point them my way. A classic of the design studio's evolving collection, this tables adds a warm touch to rigid geometry and puts it all in motion for functional convenience.

Blu Dot Ripple Table

First to recommend

Description

At 36" x 36" and 12" in height, the Ripple Table from Blu Dot is designed as a coffee table. The deceptively simple piece features a curvy underside to its graphite-on-oak or white oak surface that adds an added touch of character that flows into the table's brushed stainless steel base.

Blu Dot Real Good Chair

5 people recommended this item

Description

An interesting take on a piece that unconventionally falls somewhere between a desk chair and a dining chair, the Real Good Chair is made from very thin powder-coated steel that is perforated to bend to your needs. The piece ships flat, and the experience takes assemblage to a whole other place.
