The convenience of sourcing online is fraught with more pitfalls than most of us want to admit. Try finding adequate photos of a vintage piece's condition-close-ups of the fabric, video of damaged areas, any images of a piece's rear or underside!

The design trio wanted to concentrate all the necessary functions of the home into a few square feet by dividing the house along a main axis-ideally, one hall would connect the living room, hallway, and bedroom.

Originally conceived by designer Niels Diffrient over twenty years ago, the Diffrient Lounge is not just for relaxation, it also happens to be a great spot to work in. Ok, so you might not think of a lounge chair as something you would use in your work from home setup, but with its integrated work surface and ergonomic design, you won't want to work anywhere else.

Our pilots make every effort to deliver on schedule, but unforeseen circumstances can introduce delays - not limited to undetected black holes, pods of space whales, and existential panic in our workforce when faced with the endless night sky and the sudden certainty that they are a meaningless mote in a timeless, uncaring void. We're working hard on resolving these issues. Meanwhile, read HERE about our wormhole delivery service, coming soon to a system near you.

Here's something to blow your mind: decades before IKEA convinced us all that assembling furniture with an Allen wrench was somehow fun, a visionary designer named Luigi Colani was already flatpacking children's furniture in the 1970s. And get this, it wasn't just about convenience. His Tobifant desk and chair set was actually genius problem-solving at its finest. If you know anything about Luigi Colani, you know he was the king of curves and organic shapes.

Furniture is now understood as a core architectural component rather than a purely functional addition to a space. In 2026, instead of sharp, rigid forms, current design directions favor softer, organic silhouettes that promote comfort and visual calm. These shapes help create interiors that feel more balanced and human-centred, supporting everyday use while enhancing the emotional quality of the environment.

My spouse and I have lived in our house for five years, and in that time, we've basically played Jenga in nearly every room. It's almost like a design challenge to see how many spaces can serve dual functions: Can we make this room into a gym? What about a gym/office? What about a guest room/office? Right now, we are transforming our office/gym into an office/guest room (the Peloton now lives in the makeshift sunroom downstairs).
