In a way, our desk is our working mat. We need it available and inviting to do our workout, otherwise everything’s a mess. The Clutter Free StudioDesk is the ultimate version of a desk free of mess, a clean workout mat, just ready for us to take charge. This is a clutter free working environment that keeps you connected to all your peripherals.

All peripherals and excess cables are hidden just under the sliding desktop surface. Everything goes in the storage compartment – Power strips, AC adapters, USB hubs, external hard drives – so only one single cable will exit the desk to reach the power socket in your wall. An elongated slot across the width of the desktop allows the necessary peripheral and power cables to enter/exit at any point, thereby keeping the desktop clear and mess-free. Continue reading →

“Commode” – just saying the word brings up images from other periods in time: bourgeois sitting rooms, softly lighted, filled with hand crafted furniture, billowing curtains and gold framed family portraits hanging on the wall. This image, that also brings with it a revival of traditional values and customs, is what stands behind the March Gut Commode.

Cristoph March and Marek Gut are the design duo that decided to revive these feeling in the furniture they design. Traditionally the commode is a small cupboard fitted with a number of drawers and compartments, something between a chest and a cabinet. Standing discretely in a corner of a room, it was used to store personal stuff. Continue reading →

FlexibleLove furniture is a flexible cardboard chair that you can expand and shape according to the number of people you want to seat.

How many people can we seat? This is the usual question that arises whenever we plan to have friends over for dinner or lunch. We always seem to have more friends than chairs so we’ve started sending out “bring your own chair” invitations. To date we haven’t had anyone decline our invitation because of this (why say no to good food and fast company?!) but it’s not the best solution.

On one such occasion I got a call from a friend: “cancel the chair request, I have seating for everyone”. With no other information available, I had to trust our friendship and hope we won’t be eating off the floor. She arrived with two FlexiLove chairs and with a triumphant grin expanded them to the exact length of the table. It took all of 5 minutes and I had a perfect seating solution! Continue reading →

No matter how many systems I have tried to develop in order to keep my workspace clean and organized, I somehow always find myself surrounded by piles of stuff. I have a pile for my bills and my mail, I have a pile for documents I need for work, I have a pile for my sketches and to help save the planet – I also have a pile for recycling. In addition there are the pens, pencils, stapler etc and my good friends “the chachkes” (cute smurf doll, retro ashtray that holds my loose change, tin-toy airplane and an ILOVENY snowball).

Add to these all the cables that I use to connect my devices and you can see why I usually end up working with my laptop on my bed. Continue reading →

The handmade 3mm acrylic Illusion Side Table is a beautifully elegant, one of a kind piece of art. The unique design gives the impression of a table cloth on a round table. But behold, the object uses the structural strength of the folded material to create a magical and surprising experience – an illusion- as the item appears to be suspended without any support. What you see is not necessarily what you get, but you can be sure all your guests will be astonished by this sophisticated decorative piece. Continue reading →

When it comes to style, we all have our own thoughts and ideas; it is pretty much a matter of taste. I guess there is one thing most people will agree about – we’re all looking for something real good. We’re looking for real good design, real good style, and a real good product. Sometimes a picture is worth more than a 1000 words, in the case of Real Good Chair, I believe one video will change the way we view chairs, and their functions. This is definitely one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time. Continue reading →

Here is a confession: I love classic old movies. Why? Well… The furniture…. I mean, they really knew their style back in the day, didn’t they? With the heavy wooden cabinets, wide dressers and enormous desks. Ahh, those beautiful desks… Nowadays, anything that is heavy wooded and large sized considered to be antique and extremely expensive. Continue reading →

There is a selection of 5 finishes and there should be a suitable color to suit most décor plans. One of the special features is that the chairs are easily stackable and can be stored away when not in use. Continue reading →

I thought that it would be a good idea to have an extra bed in the house, so that I could accommodate a couple of guests that might be invited or that were just stranded overnight. I was particularly concerned that the sofa would not look too much like a ‘put–you-up’ and that it would be comfortable for sitting or sleeping. It also had to be a simple conversion process that did not require disassembling the whole unit in order to make the bed. Finally, it was absolutely imperative to make dual use of the spare room that I had available for this idea.

When I found the Blue Dot One Night Stand put you up sofa/bed I was really surprised to find that there exists a practical, comfortable and great looking piece of furniture to do the job. Continue reading →
