I’m a sucker for this kind of chair. I have a similar DUX one in mustard that has a matching footstool and weighted neck cushion. The bright yellow makes it even more cool! You can see more details here.

We just found a great new web site called Ponoko that allows you to design products which they then fabricate for you.
Ponoko is the first online shop for individualized goods – things designed and made on demand. Ponoko is the new sustainable way to design, make and deliver products – they cut the waste from oversupply by making products on-demand and they’re also working to cut carbon emissions by sourcing local materials and making products as close to the point of consumption as possible.

Check out this great site and let that budding product designer in you finally shine.

This beautiful Danish teak desk circa 1960s is fabulous! It’s sleek minimalist lines hide a beautiful detail on the back - a book shelf! At $599 it’s really a great find and a good deal!

On June 17, 2008, in Santa Monica, California, the U.S. Postal Service issued 16 Eames design commemorative stamps. Honoring the husband-and-wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames, this commemorative sheet of 16 stamps was designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, and represents the breadth of their extraordinary body of creative work, which includes architecture, furniture, film and exhibits.

We managed to get our hands on 8 commemorative sets, so if the philatelist in you is bursting to get out sign up to follow us on twitter. The first 8 people to sign up will get a set!
