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.

Blu Dot Modulicious Power Desk

Description
I am a keen observer of the various ways that people nest. Take an office/desk space, for example. Some people prefer a completely minimalist approach with no straggling papers, no drawers to fill up, no plants, no flare, just a clean and uncluttered environment. Others like filing systems, drawers, desktop accessories, figurines, art, notes, bulletin boards, pictures, a cactus named Kelly Clarkson, etc. Blu Dot's Modulicious Power Desk is perfect for someone who needs a place to stash some stuff, but also have a piece that has some character and color. The body has a beautiful wood finish and the drawers are powder-coated steel that come in a variety of color options. My current work space needs a little help. Maybe The Modulicious Power Desk will inspire me to get creative. (via Design Public)

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.

Description
Blue Dot has a new collection out that are without a doubt pieces that will be in the design industry for many many years. From the Guacamole Animal Sofa (in big or small), to the Blur Lounge Chair and Ottoman, to the simple yet delectable Nook bed, to the Desk 51 in red, to the Knicker Chairs, to all the sweet Sprout table options, to the Bonnie and Clyde Sectional Sofa…my goodness the list goes on! It is really difficult to pinpoint a highlight of the new line, but I have seen the Real Good Chair featured in numerous design centric spots so it may be in the forefront as far as being the spokes person/chair for the new collection. Good show, Blu Dot. Good show. (via Design Public)

A bit of a stylistic refinement from Blu Dot's Modulicious collection, the brand's Series 11 range is monochromatic and understated-a bit more grown-up. This Lateral file is available in graphite on oak or white oak (shown).
