Furniture that acts as storage for all your junk belongings can sometimes be boring. I came across a line of eco-friendly furniture at 2Modern by Iannone Design that had me just smitten. It’s furniture with a kick. They have such beautiful detail they would act as pieces of art. The design on the coffee table in the fourth photo? That’s about 1600 hand inlaid wood dots!!!! WOW. You’d never see any of this end up on Craigslist. Me likey. Alot.

How about ending the work day (and the beginning of a long weekend for alot of us) with some simple, serene and stunning photographs from Swedish photographer Anna G Tufvesson.

I was poking around the 2Modern site this morning, and came across the furniture line Offi. “Offi & Company, based in Emeryville, California, was born out of a love for great design. Offi satisfies this passion by creating simple, beautiful and practical furnishings that address the modern urban lifestyle. OFFI products are created to be multifunctional, comfortable, and at home in any modern home in the world.” Their furniture is for sure modern but I love how the majority of the items have curved lines, that removes the typical harshness of most modern pieces. (And as an avid fan of Karim Rashid, I was pleased to see that some of their products are designed by him). They also carry kids furniture and it’s incredible. Most of the items are marketed as easy to put together and something kids would enjoying helping with. Brilliant! Here’s a taste of what you’ll find at 2Modern from the Offi line:
