i am quite smitten by the gorgeous twig stool and bench from english furniture maker russell pinch. it’s made from the offshoots or stems from the stumps of hazel or sweet chestnut trees from a local forest, in a technique called coppicing.

i love versatile furniture pieces, don’t you? and i also love when you can find a piece that works when you think that nothing will fit in the place you want to put it! this stylishly slim axel bench from cb2 gets the job done if you’re working a narrow living space or tight hallway and need a table to put in front of a sofa or a dash of extra seating. it’s 60″w x 17.75″d x 18″h, is made of recycled leather, has fixed beechwood legs and is pretty darn maintenance-free.
