If you’re looking for a decorative item, that is also useful, there are two important things to take into consideration: shape and color. The Collect Bookcase has both of these factors, big time.

The energy of good memories goes a long way, and inspires anyone who walks into that room. Don’t think about it as purely a bookcase – think about it as a good place. Continue reading →

Too many times I’ve found myself in this situation: I’ m rushing out of work at the last minute to get a gift for a birthday party, dinner party or other festive occasion that I completely forgot about. Luckily I can usually get away with a nice bottle of wine or pampering toiletries but then I get home and I realize I also need to wrap them.

Since the local drugstore wrapping paper won’t do (telltale sign…) and the only available rolls around the house have a Christmassy or baby-shower theme I resort to “home-made” (plain white paper which I decorate with glitter glue or stickers from my girls’ stash). While this is ultra personalized (“it’s not a bug it’s a feature…”) it’s exhausting and then I also need to be creative and add a home-made card to go with it. It seems that the lack of “universal” wrapping paper triggered the idea of the “wordless” wrapping paper. Continue reading →

Flat and takes up very little space, it can be put away if required, but that really isn’t necessary because its design, inspired by geographical contour lines, ensures that it fades harmoniously in every interior.

Many times, as far as furniture go – less is so much more. Such is the Molded Plastic Eiffel Side Chair by Charles & Ray Eames. This wonderful designer duo had their mind of showing materials as they really are without hiding it.

The Eiffel Side Chair was the first plastic chair to be mass-produced. Current models are an exact reproduction of the original, with a clean, simple form that is sculpted to fit the body. The shell is manufactured using an environmentally friendly, high-impact plastic and is available in both white and red. Well, less is so much more, and with the inspiration of the Eiffel tower, this chair is all about high class. Continue reading →

Talking to my friends, it seems that one of the issues we all have to deal with is how to best utilize our living and office spaces.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind setting up the table. Clearing it up though, is a whole other story. Thank goodness for the Table Bin – a compact item, that makes this dirty job easier and quicker.
