Anti-Quaint Sling Seat

Filed under: Decor

The Anti-Quaint Sling Seat is a cross between a sleek, leather couch and a hammock in that it is both elegant and incredibly comfortable. The chair has a plush leather and fabric cushion that is supported by an aluminum frame. Since the chair is all black, it looks modern and very masculine. It would be a great alternative to having an overstuffed easy chair or recliner set up in front of the television. Price: £375-590.

Filed under: Decor, Wine

Today is Earth Day and, in honor of that, it seemed appropriate to bring out something earth-friendly. This unique wine rack is made from over 1,000 single-use chopsticks, the kind that come with Chinese takeout, though these are actually from China. The chopsticks are cleaned and thoroughly sanitized at high temperatures, then stained and bound together to create many interesting furnishings and fixtures. The Wong Wine Rack holds up to 27 bottles of wine. Price: $108.

Cindy & Mel Sushi Pillows

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

There is something very appealing about decorative pillows, although they never have quite the same sense of purpose as the pillows that your might ordinarily put on your bed. These sushi pillows by Cindy & Mel have particular appeal, probably because they look almost edible. They also have the added bonus of being far more comfortable than non-pillow sushi, not to mention that they last longer. The pillows are painstakingly made out of high-quality fabrics, with hand-painted designs. They make great housewarming gifts for sushi-loving friends. Ebi Nigiri (shrimp) pillow: $58. Other pillows: $48.

The sale of the remaining goods from the Plaza Hotel in New York will take place on March 15 in New York at Christie's. As we mentioned before, many of the less unique furnishings from the hotel were already sold but the choicest pieces were reserved for this auction. For the Plaza-sentimental there is everything from a pair of Eloise slippers to a bellman's uniform to this Louis XV-style, blue and clear chandelier that is estimated to sell for $5,000 to $8,000.
