big game coat rack

if you’re picking up anything about me from the musings i’m putting down here, it’s that i find sculptural functional things pleasing, which leads me to this coat rack made of oak from belgian and swiss based designers big-game. to me it looks like fred astaire in singular wood form: lithe, lean and ready to move around the room at any moment.

it’s so simple i can smell a diy nearby, but could any be quite as elegant as this?

find it at generate.

gladsax nightstand

i have mentioned before that i love furniture that leaves no footprint, which is why this gladsax solid oak nightstand would be perfect for me. it’s manufactured by swedish company hildurs hus, and measures 48 cm h x 32 cm w x 28 cm l (about 19″ h x 12 1/2″ w x 11″ l).

to me this is quintessential scandinavian design, thoughtful, sturdy and clean.

purchase a pair for $435.15 at the scandinavian design center.

sturdy wooden e15 cabinets leave no trace

i’m wild about furniture that doesn’t have a footprint, so these gorgeous floating cabinets are my cup of tea.

crafted by german architect/designer philipp mainzer for e15, these simple cases are made from richly detailed wood planks and are available in two styles:

the mahnaz with two horizontal drawers;

and, the shahnaz with two square doors.

the lack of footprint isn’t the only thing going for these substantial pieces — they also share the same dimensions, perfect for creating a seamless wall arrangement!

if that isn’t enough, they also do a bathroom vanity:

it all makes sense to me that i like these pieces now; i was this close to buying that big sur table from crate and barrel, which looks strangely identical to e15’s bigfoot:

i have better taste than i thought.

available in solid oak or walnut.
