For the Ugly Home
Ugly, of couse, is subjective, but this chair....? It's called 'Dickies', which makes perfect sense when you look at it upside down. From (get this) ugly-home.com. Sheesh.
"Lite Green" Ottoman Made From Repurposed Wooden Spool
Trying to furnish your new digs on a shoestring? This fabulous ottoman/hassock can be made for next to nothing. Go to a hardware store that sells electrical wire off of a wooden spool and ask for a discarded spool. Next, go to a fabric… Continue Reading
The Ghost Chair–Spooky!
Just in time for Halloween is Phillippe Starck’s Louis Ghost Armchair. The stack-able chair is made of injection-molded polycarbonate, which means it’s pretty indestructible. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Also available in the arm-less variety; the chairs are available through DWR in black, white and translucent for the sale price of $325.80.
Levitating Chair
How High the Moon Chair, designed by Shiro Kuramata, ‘reflects the ephemeral sensation of floating and release from gravity.’ The chair is made of nickel plated steel mesh. This combination produces a ‘high reflectance’ that makes the chair dissolve in light, ‘minimizing it’s impact on the surroundings’. At $9,975 a pop, it would certainly make my bank account feel lighter.
Loopita bonita by Victor Aleman
The Loope concept chair is made from a single piece of red oak covered in high density foam. Individual loops can be attached to extend seating. If you think the concept is intriguing, get this interesting tid-bit of info: the designer, Victor Aleman, is only 21 years old.

Top 10 Google Searches...Pillow...?
From Spring Design & Art comes the Top 10 Google Searches Pillow. Note those for 2006; both Paris and Orlando come before Hurricane Katrina and bankruptcy. Yeah, that sounds about right. Anyway, the 16" x 16" pillow signed and numbered pillows are being offered as limited editions of 250 and can be yours for $120 bucks. Or I’m thinking, pocket the money and make your own with iron-on transfer paper, stencils/paint, cross-stitch or… Continue Reading
The Q-Couch
Although it has nothing to do with James Bond, the possibilities of this snap-apart couch by FEEK just might be Q-worthy. Basically, the couch parts are sold in sections of two which you snap together to queue up seating of any length. Made of polymer, the Q-Couch is 100% waterproof and extremely light weight. A set of two will cost you about 100€ or about 138 U.S. I just have one question. Why not have interior and exterior corner pieces… Continue Reading
A Sofa Fit For An Orgy
This is not a personal observation. The sofa’s name is ‘Orgy Sofa’. Why did designer, Karim Rashid, decide to name it as such? On this I think it best to keep my suppositions to myself.
The provocative seating will set you back about 14 grand, but won’t it provoke some interesting conversation at your next cocktail party?
Breakfast Pillows: Start Your Day Off Right.
Have a taste of Sofa Garden's Breakfast Food Pillows...."More Fun than the real thing, and 0 grams of fat."
I think the toast is my favorite, but it's probably because I hate pancakes...well, at least maple syrup.

Who Doesn’t Like Ravioli?
The Vitra Ravioli Chair, that is. A creation of architect Greg Lynn, the computer-based design started as a three dimensional square and then was kneaded this way and that to fashion all the necessary elements of a comfortable lounge chair. The stuffed dumpling comes in three colors including Melanzane, Sepia and Pomodoro. (That would be brown/aubergine, black/blue and red to the rest of us.) The price? Three thousand five hundred sixty.… Continue Reading
Is it just me....
Barcelona Cushion Clock [Hackable for sure]
It's about time for the Barcelona Cushion Clock from MonkeyNose:
The cushion is styled after (or to complement?) Miles Van Der Rohe's classic Barcelona Chair:
Of course, with a battery operated clock movement, some basswood for hands,a pillow or cushion (handmade or purchase), and some clever scissor work and sewing, this could be yours for well under the retail price of £13.95.
Hoodie/Cat Hammock Chair
Have you seen Brodberg & Ridderstrale's Hood Chair? Made of plywood, steel and felt, the chair celebrates the just-toss-your-coat-anywhere idea. An intriguing object to be sure, and wouldn't kitty just love to snuggle up for a long nap in that hood?
DIY-able Rag Chair?
Take a look at Droog’s Rag Chair by Tejo Remy. It’s made of 15 bags of rags, metal straps to hold them all together and, we assume, some sort of internal form to keep the chair’s shape. Customers have the option of submitting old clothing articles which will be used in the chair’s construction.
So, two questions:
1. Cool idea or just goofy? and....
B. Is this DIY-able? (For 3,320 bucks–yeah, that’s the price… Continue Reading
