Crafted by 3 GJB 17, a design firm that specializes in creating custom furniture and objects out of vehicle parts, the Porsche Writing Desk is a highly unusual piece. The base is made from American walnut and is topped by an original Porsche 911 rear-end panel, painted an iconic Arctic Silver. Open the hatch to reveal a handsome wood surface, with a drawer on the side for holding keys, pens, or raceway passes.
First came the mattress-in-a-box. Now, you can get your furniture the same way. The Burrow Sofa comes in regular shipping boxes allowing for fast, free delivery. That same modular design means that when it's time to move, the couch can be easily taken apart and packed up. The flexible design isn't just for moving, though: sections can be added or removed to transform the piece from room to room. Even the cushions flip to give you a choice of tufted or solid upholstery. On top of all that, each sofa is handmade in the USA from sustainably-sourced hardwood and toxic chemical-free fabrics.

Designed by the famed Italian architect, the Molteni&C Gio Ponti Armchair is a midcentury revival you'll be glad to see make the rounds again. The 1957 piece sports clean lines provided by a wood frame. Elastic straps support an upholstered cushion, giving the back and seat a just enough flexibility for a comfortable lounge. Each chair is hand assemble and comes in a variety of colors and finishes.
Built by hand in Costa Mesa, CA, the Admiral Bar exudes the understated English attitude of its designer, Joshua Evans. Closed, it appears as an innocuous kitchen cart, with an American Walnut exterior and brass hardware. Opened up, it has a deep well for liquor bottles, twelve slots for wine, an area for glassware, and drawers for bar tools. Each one is built to order, with a 4-8 week lead time.
With a triangular shape and slotted interior, the Sitskie Open 45 Credenza is a mid-century style altar of vinyl. In addition to the large turntable shelf, it has multiple divider panels and extra spaces for plants, headphone stands, or bookshelf speakers. The shape makes it ideal for storing records (as well as books and magazines), and a slotted stand holds the albums in current rotation. Crafted from walnut, it sits atop steel legs in a black or brass finish and is available in five and seven-foot lengths.
Handbuilt by the craftsman at the Hungarian Workshop, the Bourbon Barrel Adirondack Chair gives the classic backyard lounger a Kentucky twist. Each piece is made completely out of reclaimed wooden casks from a Bluegrass distillery. The natural curve of the staves gives the seat and back a comfortable contour while the whiskey-aged patina provides a unique finish. Available with either an open or closed style top.
A well-curated collection deserves and equally thoughtful place to live. The Hrdl Vinyl Table provides exactly that. Crafted from black Valchromat colored wood with oak legs and an eye-catching tambour door, it's built to last. A surface on the left provides a place for your turntable with space for your amplifier in the space underneath, while the right half is dedicated to a storage area for up to 200 albums. Built to order in Kristiansand, Norway.
Timex honors their rich watchmaking history with the Marlin Automatic Watch. This modern release is an aesthetic refresh of the iconic 1960s Marlin, replacing the original hand-wound movement with a 21 jewel automatic. The design has been updated here and there, but maintains the same clean, mid-century feel, and incorporates the original's signature acrylic domed crystal. It's finished with a date window at 3 o'clock and a classic leather strap using material from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company.

Developed for whisky drinkers that prefer a chilled dram, Norlan's Rauk tumbler takes its name from the old Scottish word for rock. The glass is made of crystal and precision modeled to touch down on four crystal points, making surface contact but providing the appearance that it's hovering. The Rauk also has extruded v-shaped markings inside that offer friction points for gripping slippery peels in cocktails before you muddle them back to life.

Produced in the 1950s, Arne Vodder's Chaise Lounge showcases his timeless designs. The vintage piece mixes a natural teak frame and a curvy silhouette — a signature of the Danish designer. It's finished off with a weaved leather seat and wooden tray table for a nightly brandy. Aside from a single strap, the entire chair is completely original making this one rare find.
Born from the concept of a vehicle emerging from liquid metal, the Discommon Coffee Table creates the same effect from a four foot long, four-inch thick block of 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum. As it takes 100 hours of designer time to create each unique vehicle model and finalize textures and finishes, the run is being limited to just 10 tables. When you order, you get to pick the vehicle your table will feature, and will also be involved picking surface finishes, approving the design, and picking the hard anodized color of the final product. Four tables have already been produced, including the Ferrari F40 example seen above.
Inspired by a spinning coin, the Dime Bar Cabinet is a delightful place to store your favorite spirits. Its exterior is made from curved segments of American walnut that fold back to reveal the bar inside. A countertop offers plenty of workspace while a shelf above and slots below give you a multitude of storage.
Mixing a futuristic design and minimal materials, the Planet Chair gives any room a quiet place. It's constructed from multiple triangular segments of plywood. Fastened together with steel connectors, the sphere shape surrounds its occupant creating a private nook. An ergonomic mattress lines the interior for comfort while a LED-lamp, speaker system, and solar panels turn this seat into a personal pod for work or relaxation.
Verner Panton's eponymous chair is a design icon. He tried giving it a mirrored surface in the early 1970s but was unable to make it resistant to scratches. The Panton Chrome Chair is this idea reborn, handcrafted using a metallisation process that embeds metal particles in multiple layers of varnish, giving it the appearance the designer desired with a robustness that was impossible before. It will be on display at IMM Cologne — the same forum where the chair was debuted 50 years ago — alongside the luminous Panton Glow, and will be available for purchase in March.
We all store things on top of our tables — books, magazines, drinks, devices. The Karou Side Table lets you store things inside of it. Its circular shape encourages you to slide the lower panel around, revealing the hidden chamber inside, while the upper panel stays locked in place for safety. Built from ash wood, with a pronounced grain that gives the simple black or light gray finish added depth.
From the first collection of New York design duo Roman and Williams, the Bachelor Bar Cart is an impressive way to serve your drinks — married or not. At the base of this piece is a tapered leg frame. Each one is made to order in your choice of wood and features metal details in a variety of brass, pewter, and nickel finishes. It's topped with a silver or black mirrored top and finished with a set of wheels to ensure the booze is always within reach.
Few pieces of furniture are as iconic as Charles and Ray Eames' lounger. First produced in 1956, the chair is notoriously known for its wood shell and leather cushions. While the design remains the same, the mid-century classic is getting a rich new surface with the Eames Mohair Supreme Lounge Chair. The soft addition comes in five different colors options and is paired with your choice of an ebony, walnut, Palisander, or white ash veneer.
It's beard season and Old Spice is here to tame those man manes with their new Beard Oil. The argan oil-based conditioner can take care of wild hairs and unruly fly-aways, turning scruff into a soft, luxurious beard worthy of congrats. Its subtle citrus scent will leave it smelling as good as it looks.

The right everyday carry knife is both compact and useful at a moment's notice. Designed to be small enough for a keyring but strong enough to use everyday, the minimal Elko from James Brand fits that description. It packs plenty into its small aluminum frame — which weighs only 1.3 ounces and is just 2.6-inches closed — including a Sandvik 12C27 black stainless steel blade and a stainless steel pry tool that also acts as a bottle opener and flathead screwdriver. The Elko has a serviceable assembly for DIY maintenance. Available completely blacked out or with titanium scales, and arrives in a waterproof pouch that just so happens to be the right size for a smartphone.
Equipped with a built-in heating element, the Kosmos Chair allows you to enjoy your outdoor patio all year round. The cast stone seat wraps you in warmth with its deep sides and high back. A temperature control not only lets you set your desired warmth but also remembers your setting for the next time. It's also energy-efficient so you don't have to feel too guilty about you toasty tush. The powder-coated frame is available in brass, black, and silver for an overall look that is welcome inside or out.
The design may look traditional, but the Smoke Lounge Chair is anything but. Its classic carved wood frame has been given a fired finish. This treatment not only creates a unique chair but also gives each piece its own individual characteristics. The charred timber is then sealed with an epoxy resin for an added level of strength. Black leather covers the back seat and features tufted detailing, creating a timeless look that will compliment any room.
Designed in 1949 for the Eames' Pacific Palisades home — also known as Case Study House No. 8 — the Eames Coffee Table is a perfect complement to a mid-century setup. Replacing the gold-leaf top of the original is a solid piece of Carrara marble, white ash veneer, or walnut veneer, paired with a matching turned wood dowel and powder-coated steel wire base similar to the one found on the iconic Shell Chair. Manufactured by Herman Miller in the USA, it's available in rectangular and square varieties.
Just like its cuisine, the decor in René Redzepi's Copenhagen eatery was a modern ode to its Nordic roots. While the two-Michelin-star restaurant prepares to reopen at a new location in early 2018, pieces from the original venue are now up for grabs in the Noma Auction. The sale includes 500 lots comprised of the signature furniture and decor found throughout the interior. This includes everything from the Hans J. Wegner and J.L. Møller dining chairs and hand-carved wooden tableware to the custom reception cabinet and leather-bound wine list. The bidding will take place in Chicago and via live stream on November 2, 2017.
Substantial enough to provide decades of play yet elegant enough to double as a dining table, the Masterwal UA1 Ping Pong Table is a versatile piece of heirloom-quality furniture. Designer Mikiya Kobayashi built the original from solid walnut, with a brass inlay serving as the center line — a material mirrored in the struts that hold up the solid leather net. Also available in White Oak and Black Cherry, it has a four-week lead time due to the craftsmanship required to make it.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
