1 > aeron the side of comfort.

Unprecedented on its 1994 introduction and still unexcelled, the Aeron is truly among the best-thought-out objects our age has to offer. The dynamic Pellicle seating material conforms to your body, yet allows air to circulate – offering unparalleled comfort, even after several hours. With custom tilt, armrest and pneumatic height adjustment, this classic has never been as affordable.


the most stylish, bar none. < 2

Whether you're going for space-age bachelor pad, sushi-a-go-go, or bright and cheery breakfast nook, the bar without a good barstool is truly unthinkable. Belly up with the Bombo stool for that stirred-not-shaken feeling. 360° rotation and hydraulic lift, of course.


3 > the butterfly effect.

Sori Yanagi's classic Butterfly stool looks as fresh today as it did on its introduction in 1956 - optimistic, in the manner of mid-20th-century icons like Saarinen's TWA Terminal and the Citroen DS, yet resonant with traditional Japanese forms. For years it was a hard-to-find collector piece; now reissued, the Butterfly is sure to lend a fresh and contemplative note to your space.


no for an answer. < 4

You'll wonder why they're called No - there's a certain optimism to Philippe Starck's upswept, lightweight chairs. Settle into the sweeping curve of durable polypropylene plastic and you'll see why the Dr. No is indoor / outdoor seating for a new millennium. Shown with the matching Dr. Na table, for the full Place de la Sorbonne experience.


5 > oranges and lemons, say the bells of st. starck.

Only Philippe Starck could design a citrus juicer that suggests a lunar lander for a race of particularly elegant space-mantises. With its insectile grace, signature Starck 'horns,' and robust aluminum construction, the Juicy Salif makes any juicing task an opportunity for delight.


just like charles and ray said. < 6

There's enough Eamesian panache to the Lounge No. 3 sofa to warm any modernist's heart. Four plywood struts back the comfy cushion, which in turn are supported by a spare, jazzy, robust steel undercarriage.


7 > hold it now.

With a body of work ranging from an inflatable bath pillow to a corporate jet to a smart Prince St. eatery, nobody is doing more to reshape our expectations of shape and form than Marc Newson. His bold range of glassware, designed for Iittala of Finland, extends the tradition - each size in the line is actually made from a single crisply rhomboid model, cut at three different heights for beer, whiskey, or cocktail. As comfortable to hold as it is conceptually elegant.


turn on, tune in. < 8

Start your own pharmaceutical-themed nightspot with Julie Nelson's hand-made Tablet. A ceramic lozenge appears to float above its base, shedding a subtle, indirect light that's endowed with the promise of revelation. Easy installation.
