Ikea Ypperlig Collection

Developed in collaboration with Rolf and Mette Hay, the Copenhagen-based husband-and-wife design team behind the design studio Hay, the Ikea Ypperlig Collection is a sophisticated suite of everyday essentials. Swedish for "excellent," Ypperlig is comprised of over 50 products, including everything from napkins and throw blankets to armchairs and a sleeper sofa. Each piece has a clean design with just enough character to keep things interesting, and quality that's far beyond what you'd expect for the price.

Fyrn Stemn Seating

Forget what you know about flatpack furniture. Fyrn Stemn Seating offers outstanding quality, shipped right to your door. Central to the design of the range's six chairs and stools is an exposed, patented bracket designed and made in-house that adds durability, provides added aesthetic interest, and makes assembly easier. The rest of each seat is crafted from North American hardwood, with a natural oil matte finish. Each seat is made to order in California.

Gus Modern x Pendleton Lounge Chairs

Toronto-based Gus Modern is known for its mid-century influenced, clean designs. Pendleton Woolen Mills is known for its heritage textiles. The two combine in this lineup of Gus* Modern x Pendleton Lounge Chairs. It includes the Elk, a bent plywood, wingback affair upholstered in Rancho Arroyo jacquard, and the Halifax, a low-slung accent seat with a powder-coated steel frame, Walnut armrests, and black and ivory wool-covered cushions. Rounding out the set is the GT Rocker, a modern, armless seat with a powder coated frame and architecturally-styled cushions inspired by airport lounges and '70s car interiors and covered in Walking Rock red and black fabric. Made in Canada.

Pentatonic Airtool Chair

Deceptively simple for such an elegant object, the Pentatonic Airtool Chair takes its name seriously. The "Air" comes from the base components, which are formed using gas-assisted manufacturing techniques to leave them hollow, lightweight, and yet strong. "Tool" refers to the fact that each element serves as a tool on its own, making complicated assembly instructions unnecessary. On top of the base sits a seat shell made from one of three innovative materials — two are made from repurposed trash, while one feels like wool even though it's plastic. An ideal — and environmentally-conscious — addition to any work area.

Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair

When you're little, you sit in a chair and hug your teddy bear. When you're big, the chair hugs you. That's the whimsical idea behind the Hans Wegner's iconic Papa Bear Chair. Designed in 1951, this oversized seat has foam cushions and natural fiber stuffing for added cushioning. The arms wrap around you as you sit, with solid wood "paws" emerging at the ends that match the legs, and the seat angle encourages you to recline into the "hug." The example you see here has been meticulously restored, retains its original stamp, and arrives with a matching ottoman both finished in black leather.

Wassily Chair

Inspired by the curved handle bars of the Adler bicycle, the Wassily Chair was the first of its kind. Designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925, the seat reimagined the traditional club chair with clean lines and a bent tubular frame. The polished chrome finish is complemented by cowhide leather, belting leather, or canvas slings, available in a variety of colors.

Fil Mass Series Dining Chair

A contrast of wood and metal, the Fil Mass Series Dining Chair brings a sophisticated elegance to any setting. Its backrest and seat are made from solid Oguni cedar wood, while the thin frame is crafted from tubular copper-finished metal, lending the chair an airy quality. It's finished with a pair of Maharam 008 Sycamore fabric cushions.

No Rock Self-Stabilizing Tables

Folded-up napkins. Menus. Books. We'll use nearly anything to keep our table from rocking while we're trying to dine. No Rock Self-Stabilizing Tables make the process a thing of the past by automatically adapting to uneven surfaces. The trick lies in its bottom legs and feet, which connect to the center independently, letting each sit at the correct angle to ensure a level surface up top. They adapt to nearly any top and come in five different styles to suit any decor.

Unamo 3Moods Transformable Couch

The concept of transformable furniture has been attempted many times over the years, but it rarely comes out as well as the 3Moods Transforming Couch from Unamo Design. Functioning as a couch, a chaise lounge, or a table-and-chairs set, the 3Moods couch uses detachable components and magnetic straps to adapt to your furnishing needs while only taking up the space of a regular sofa or futon. And, built of Okoume laminated wood, chromed-iron supports, and durable, poly-woven upholstery, it may be transformable, but it's far from disposable.

Fly Massive Millworks Cascade Console

The latest in a line of clean, minimally designed pieces, the Cascade Console is another winner from the Russian designers at Fly Massive Millworks. It's crafted from American walnut and oak and features sturdy brass finishings throughout. Its simplicity and functionality make it stand out, and it's a great choice for your turntable and records, or some of your favorite books and journals.

Gatsby Credenza

Inspired by the spirit of the Prohibition era, the Gatsby Credenza is the perfect place to store your booze or pour a drink. It's crafted from solid walnut, with Richlite doors and solid brass handles. A vertical divider on one side makes it a good place to store records and books, and there's a "speakeasy" door on the back that's hidden from the front, giving you a secret storage cubby for your most valued treasures.

March Worktable

Made in California from white oak and steel, the March Worktable will add a touch of industrial charm to any office or workshop. At just a hair over 10 feet long, three feet high, and 42" deep, it's a massive piece, with a solid top surface, slatted lower shelf, an area for covered storage, and an area with three bins for easy access to frequently used items. If you want one, you'd best plan ahead: it's made to order with a 16 week production lead time.

D70 Sofa

Designed by Osvaldo Borsani and built by Milan-based Tecno in 1954, this D70 Sofa is a handsome piece of mid-century design. Meant to transition from day to night with ease, it has a steel mechanism on the ends that lets you lock the seat and back at different angles, letting it quickly transform from a formal couch to a napping surface. This particular example remains in excellent condition and is covered in a dark leather that matches the metal base.

Tanner Goods Tekio Modular Shelving

Inspired by George Nelson's classic system from the 1950s, Tanner Goods Tekio Modular Shelving is designed to adapt to your needs and space. At its core is an extruded aluminum frame that's both versatile and lightweight. It's enhanced by custom hardwood components and cabinetry and supported by strong steel leveling feet. Each system is made to order and built by hand in Portland, Oregon using high-quality woods and components manufactured in the USA.

Tempel Workbench

Inspired by the classic workbenches from the early 19th century, the Tempel Workbench combines vintage touches with modern components. Hidden within its ash, walnut, and brass facade lies a high-end computer with a liquid cooling system that's visible inside a backlit reservoir and a 24-inch monitor that's motorized to hide itself away when not in use. It also has a built-in soldering iron/electronics workstation, custom tools tailored to your needs, and custom brass controls. Made by hand, just like the pieces on which it's based.

Oak Linen Sofa

Nothing surpasses the rugged warmth of natural wood and linen, and as it states in its name, the Oak Linen Sofa is just that. Built with a solid oak frame, the piece gives the rustic material a contemporary design that will last as long as you do. Its natural linen cushions are filled with down filling for extra comfort, while the dark charcoal hue will fit any style. Available in three different lengths.

Korgis Record Cabinet

Handcrafted from solid walnut in a Montreal studio, the Korgis Record Cabinet is an understated media storage solution. The shelves sit atop plated satin brass legs, with solid brass handles for the drawers. The vinyl itself sits in front loading drawers that slide out for access to the records behind, and the cabinet is available in several different configurations to meet your individual storage needs.

Elysium Chair

"Sleeping on a cloud" is a long-used mattress cliche. The Elysium Chair might actually deliver, no bed required. It was developed by Dr. David Wickett, a British inventor and designer who spent ten years studying the relationship between posture and gravitational force, earning a PhD in bioengineering along the way. As a result, it has a carbon fiber skeleton, with springs fused at precise locations and tensions and a series of foams to offer an unrivaled level of support and pressure relief. The seat is then mounted on a virtual cam that makes reclining completely effortless, providing a weightless experience at a 25% recline no other chair can provide. Handmade in Cambridge and limited to just 20 units.

Stephen Kenn x Victorinox Stepladder Chair

Sometimes the best designs are so obvious in retrospect it's hard to believe they're original. Such is the case with the Stephen Kenn x Victorinox Stepladder Chair. Made from powdercoated steel and aged vegetable-tanned leather, it has a sling-style seat that's both comfortable and promotes good posture. Ingeniously, and in typical Swiss Army fashion, the frame pivots forward to transform the chair into a stepladder, making this piece of furniture far more useful than traditional dinner table seating.

Ori Robotic Furniture

Whether you're looking to use your space more creatively, or just get the most out of your studio apartment, Ori Robotic Furniture is a great solution. The name of the product gets its name from Japanese Origami and the tech comes out of the MIT Media Lab. Each unit has the ability to slide gracefully in your space by simply pushing a button on the Ori dial, which then transforms the room from a bedroom to a living room, to a office in seconds. As apartments in the city get smaller and smaller, products like Ori become more important to making a smaller space comfortable and classy.

Makr Factory Stool

At first glance, the Makr Factory Stool looks good, but not that special. Take a closer look, however, and you'll find a white oak seat with a simple oil finish and well-crafted joints that make visible screws and fasteners unnecessary. Also doubles as a side table.

Hans Wegner Easy Chair

First designed in 1950 by Hans Wegner for Carl Hansen & Søn, the Hans Wegner Easy Chair embodies the iconic Danish furniture designer's philosophy that all chairs should be beautiful from all sides and angles. Each seat and back is handwoven from more than 1300 feet of paper cord, taking roughly 10 hours to complete. The frame's fluid form is crafted from solid oak and comes in your choice of either a black-lacquered or oiled oak finish.

The Four Seasons Auction

Architects aren't very happy about it, but major pieces from Philip Johnson's landmark 1959 restaurant design are set to hit the block ahead of a major reworking. The Four Seasons Auction will include custom designs from Johnson, special-order Knoll furniture, tableware and cookware created specifically for the restaurant, and works by Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, and Hans Wegner. The sale will take place July 26th at the NYC restaurant, giving design and architecture fans one last chance to grab a piece of this iconic space.

Erickson Slung Lounge Chair

Crafted by Brooklyn furniture designer Ben Erickson, the Erickson Slung Lounge Chair is a custom version of the classic sling chair. The sleek frame is available in a variety of finishes, including oak, walnut, charred oak, solid holly, and copper, while the copper and hand-brushed brass joint connectors and sabots add a modern touch. Each seat is a stitched piece of grey hide, brindle hide, or black or tanned calf leather. To accomodate every style, there are currently seven versions available or the request to create your own is also welcomed.

Ulisse Daybed

Designed by Konstantin Grcic to mesh well with the rest of the ClassiCon collection, including Eileen Gray's iconic 1927 side table, the Ulisse Daybed uses a clean design to call attention to its details. Those begin with a solid oak or walnut frame, its concave shape both elegant and functional, and extend to the thin-yet-comfortable upholstery, covered in your choice of fabric or leather. It's finished with a solid brass and wood cylinder that works as a support for the headrest, giving you three positions to choose from depending on if you're just relaxing or actually trying to nap.

Solidwool Hembury Chair

Inspired by a declining industry in their native Buckfastleigh, designers Hannah and Justin Floyd are recreating the Eames Molded Fiberglass Chair with an eco-friendly twist. The Solidwool Hembury Chair replaces the iconic fiberglass seat with a wool composite, while keeping the integrity of the mid-century design intact. The process swaps glass for wool from a Herdwick sheep as the binder and mixes it with an environmentally conscientious bio-resin to form a hard surface. Light grey guard hairs blend into the naturally dark wool to create a marbled finish. The chair is completed with a black powder coated steel frame and ash wood legs.

Chesterfield Denim Sofa

There's nothing more timeless than a classic Chesterfield sofa. The Chesterfield Denim Sofa is giving this clubhouse favorite a facelift by adding an equally classic material to the trademark tufts. Only to get better with wear, the nearly ten-foot frame is covered in a moderate wash denim and lined with hand-hammered shoe nails, keeping with the sofa's old-school aesthetic. The signature hardwood legs are given a subtle updated ash finish. An eight-way hand-tied spring suspension and 50/50 down feather and foam cushions make for a seat as comfortable as your most beloved jeans.
