Delightfully pleasant in how they operate, the vacuum closures make it impossible to slam the drawers. Woodgate has considered every detail, even the drawer interiors, which are the precise size of two folded shirts side by side, without overlap or wa…read more

Flowers and candles are nice, but they look so much nicer when displayed with some panache. Good thing David Allen gives you lots of options. A cast of his own arm, an illuminating take on a familiar restaurant favorite, even a cast of his very own Gran’s silver candlestick. Light up folks.…read more

Admitting your faults is hard. Maybe you are an eavesdropper, or a take other people’s wet clothing out of the washing machine type? Sigh. We are serial key losers. That was, until we upgraded from our wimpy round twist of metal to a much more noticeable Harry Allen key ring. (I see you under the couch now, you sneaky keys!) Surely, key rings may seem mundane, but that is exactly why it makes us the happiest.…read more

Beginning with the One High unit, which sits on a steel base, Sapporo can grow to 5 units high. L…read more

Reinterpreting the ordinary. This is how great music and art is made, sure there are a limited number of chords on a guitar and a variety of colors available to create with, but when combined by someone with a vision you get The White Album or a Pollack painting. Harry Allen does the same thing except with smaller, creating objects that are familiar—yet different in a very refreshing way.…read more

Characteristically, the Eames Wire-Base Table is remarkable for the elegance achieved using simple, practical materials. Its scaled-down profile shows the influence of Japanese forms and households based on an aesthetic ideal of simplicity, serenity and restraint. In fact, the Eameses used these wire-base tables in their home during a tea ceremony that included Isamu Noguchi and Charlie Chaplin. Just 10″ high, the table provides a handy surface for a stack of books or a place to rest a drink.…read more
