Bring the woodsy outdoors charm into your home with this limited edition unique find. It's called the Meteor Table, it's made by Christa and it's an actual teak tree root that's been coated with bronze. Definitely a conversation starter in any home! I guess you can't rush such a ginormous and heavy package (750 pounds) via mail so it takes 6 months to arrive. Tree tables don't come cheap, this purchase will set you back $55,000! Of course I'm trying to figure out how I can start making these things! It's available on vivre.com, a very cool decor site.
Talk about a limited edition: if you don't get in on this table in time there will literally be nothing left. It's called This Table Will Self-Destruct and each time the table is made a "pixel" is removed. The table top is basically a big grid that's slowly getting holes in it, with the "limited edition" meaning they'll keep making them until it's no longer usable.
So far the table is missing 25 pixels, and there's a grid on the website so you can see exactly where they've been removed. If you want one don't wait too long! $980
These Shadow Placemats from Judith Höfel remind me of that blue paper they used to have when I was a kid that made patterns and designs when different objects were used to cast a shadow in the sun (does anybody know what I mean?). Anyway, the shadows on that paper was interesting and these placemats, represent what the shadow of a place setting would look like on the table, are also. They're even made to be a little transparent so the grain of the table can show through and add the whole illusion. Definitely a more casual look for your kitchen or dining room, but interesting nonetheless. $85
I've personally always loved the idea that years ago on the farm the ringing of the dinner bell is what would call in the kids from the yard to eat, and whether these days you have a big group to summon together or just like the nostalgic decor value of a nice bell, this set of copper dinner bells will make a sweet addition to your kitchen. The set includes 3 brass bells in 3 shapes and 3 colors: and copper-finished onion bell, a silver-finished tulip bell, and a gold-finished trumpet bell. $325
A bowl that looks like a big white sponge -- everybody wants one! Designed by Marcel Wanders and made by Moooi, the idea for the Foam Bowl started as an experiment and turned into something beautiful. Created by soaking a sponge in liquid porcelain, letting it dry, and then firing it hot enough to burn the sponge away, the result is a sponge "skeleton," or a bowl that looks like it's made of foam. Pure white and porous, you'll want to be careful how much you handle it and what (if anything) you put in it. 2.25" x 8.25", $220.
This very simple, very classic looking Life of the Snowman sugar dish could make either the perfect addition to your holiday table or the perfect gift for that friend who loves to cook or hostess but already seems to have everything she needs. Cute and simple, the only complaint I can possible come up with (not that I spend time trying to complain) is that the smooth clear glass design will quickly show every fingerprint and smudge! But what's a few smudges compared to all the adoring compliments? $53
Designer Eero Saarinen believed there were too many "legs" on things in the average American home, and awhile back (in 1956) he created a collection to help remedy that situation. Out of that effort came the Saarinen Dining Table, which as you can see has but one pedestal for support. It goes well with it's Tulip chair relatives, and altogether they project a very simplistic, pure energy.
The Saarinen tables are available in a variety of colors and sizes, the dining table shown here goes for $1,342.
Designed as functional sculpture, Jason Heap has created a stunning table that is hard to take your eyes from. The ribbon-like base is formed from a birch plywood core layered with American Black Walnut veneer. Along the edges of the wood, acrylic paint in your choice of color is added making it custom for your color scheme. The black looks sharp, but a brighter contrast would make the gentle overlapping curves even more hypnotizing. The wood used for this custom-made table comes from sustainable sources and is available in a light or dark veneer. £1,900.00.
Here's a piece of furniture for those who love geometric shapes and clean lines. The Prismatic Table's design is inspired by the art of origami, although instead of folding paper it's made by folding aluminum. It has three legs, a hexagon-shaped top, and the appearance of being in three pieces. It was originally created back in 1957 by Isamu Noguchi and has just recently been put into production. It is available from Vitra in either black or white, and goes for around £239.
The Gregory Pouf Stool is a transformer: at one moment it looks like a simple rug and then the next, at the pull of a button, it transforms into a stylish contemporary stool or table. By Gregory Lacoua, the movement was inspired by the thought of a needle pulling thread through a cloth under tension. It's upholstered in hardwearing wool, which gives it a a nice softness, and although it's suggested for a kid's room I don't think it looks childish necessarily -- I think it would look great in any room, depending on the rest of the decor.
Although here in the Midwest pool season is almost over, there are those lucky to be living in areas where they may just be getting started with the warm season or else it's toasty all year round. For those folks (or those of us in colder climates can put it on our wish list for next year) this Aquapub not only looks like bunches of fun, but it looks like unique fun your neighbors probably aren't offering. It's one thing to enjoy a Mai Tai by the pool, but what about in it? That can be a little awkward unless you have the Aquapub that seats six and comes complete with cup holders, 2 stashes, and an umbrella. It drains water, is a portable 90 lbs and is made of recycled materials. What more could you want?
If you're looking to put some "creepy" on your table then these Lee Hale Bird Feet candle holders could be what's missing. I'm all about the outdoors and generally gravitate towards things with a natural theme, but these decapitated bird feet are not appealing to me at all. They even look a little violent, what with the big claws and all.
But obviously somebody in the world must love them, and differences in taste is what makes everything interesting. So if you think these are beautiful then great for you -- just 60,000 yen for the pair.
No diamonds and pearls here, just a classier way to serve your honey this summer. As much as I love those cute little bear-shaped honey bottles they tend to get sticky, which is nasty to put in the cabinet. Leaving them on the counter doesn't look so great either, so something like this Silver Plated Honey Jar lets you have honey on hand in a way that complements your kitchen's decor and makes your table a little prettier. It has a cute little silver honey scoop, and comes complete with a jar of Black Sage Honey by Savannah Bee Company. $45
If you are looking to create a funky outdoor living space, you probably aren't in the market for traditional wood and wicker. Enter the Botanist Cocktail Table, a funky and feminine alternative to your standard outdoor table. Made from industrial grade aluminum, the piece is powder-coated and outdoor ready. The botanical graphics are cut from the metal using a water jet process which leaves the edges smooth. Available in five finishes, including a beautiful blue, the tables are lightweight, yet tough enough to withstand the elements. If you like the look and want to bring it inside, the table is also available in a wood veneer. $1920 as shown.
Intended as a coffee table, the Zanotta Tod Occasional Table is really a blend of coffee table and end table, with maybe a little touch of 'TV tray' thrown in for good measure. Shaped conveniently to slip right up next to the couch or stand freely and impress from a distance, it has a very modern and sophisticated design. Finished in a glossy lacquer over a polypropylene frame it's available in a variety of bold colors to fit your home scheme. And although I like the white, it reminds a little of something found in a restroom -- I think I'd choose a different shade. £490
