"Pitch from Poppin is an excellent no-frills
conference chair that fits everyone. I love its sleek
shape and great color range. It is also very
comfortable and has a lead time that can make
a designer swoon."

"Rich Brilliant Willing's Mori Squash pendant is a friendly take
on the bubble lamp. It emits a wonderful soft ambient light
and has a really unique shape, allowing it to stand out yet still remain
in the background."

"Heartwork makes the most elegant filing cabinets
with beautiful color options. It is clear that a lot
of care went into the workmanship and design.
The Building Block system improved the original
line by streamlining the size options to create
a truly modular system."

Bernhardt Design: Zip

Weitzner: Kodiak

"Part of the latest collection of the Art Center College of Design series,
this modular seating looks good when grouped together or standing
alone. The zippers and handle encourage users to reconfigure often,
and it is light enough to move around, which makes it an excellent
alternative to the standard pouf. Zip is surprisingly sturdy considering
its plush appearance."

"Kodiak is a new wallcovering from Weitzner
with a cool mosaic pattern. The depth of the weave
creates a subtle three-dimensional design.
The faceted form is handmade by upcycling strips
of magazines onto a substrate. As every piece
is different, it looks great both up close as well
as in a larger assembly."

"This LED fixture has strong architectural lines
and looks like a glowing jewel box when illuminated.
It is also extremely efficient, as it can be placed
at 15 feet on center in a typical open workplace
environment. When combined with a daylightharvesting system, the white finish and the clear
acrylic lens essentially disappear into the ceiling."

Maharam: Endless City

Interstuhl: VINTAGEis5 14V7

HighTower: Nest High

"I have always been a fan of Maharam's digital
projects, and I particularly love the Endless City
fabric. This is a great way to introduce a view
to windowless party walls. Rendered as a plane
of color, it reads as an artful interpretation of an
urban environment that is appropriate for any city."

"A modern take on a classic chair is always a winner!
With a nod to Eames, the design incorporates
a mesh back and beautiful aluminum arms. With
many base and adjustment types, this is a chair
for every situation."

"Sitting at a perching height is taken to a new level with Nest High
from HighTower. It combines the comfort and casual language
of a lounge chair but elevates a person to the level akin to a barstool.
The chair invites conversation and facilitates interaction while
maintaining a relaxed feel."
