ALTHOUGH WE’VE FEATURED THEM PREVIOUSLY Iannone is one of those designers who continues to come up on our must-have lists for their blend of eco-friendly and creatively designed furniture. Above are several new pieces, all featuring their signature inlay technique; combined they are a who’s who of sustainable woods and materials. Their Green:Mod Flower drawer utilizes amber bamboo with a white oak inlay, while their Mod Lodge and Green:Mod Midcentury sideboards sport a amber bamboo/bamboo inlay and a real wood veneer and kirei inlay, respectively. Because we can’t get over the look of wood on white, our favorite by far is Iannone’s new Graphic Armoire, which features twisting floral kirei patterns on gloss white laminate and is made from FSC certified plywood.

“EVEN STORAGE DESERVES A PLATFORM!” reads the theoretical political slogan for West Elm’s aptly named Low Platform series. These sleek dressers and side tables are designed to coordinate with West Elm’s own wood-block platform bed, although we can see these nicely complementing any type of wood-themed contemporary bedroom. Available in blonde or chocolate (we prefer the former).

WHERE HAVE ALL THE CUTOUTS GONE? The answer seems to be Susan Bradley’s Creep collection of side tables and shelves; laser-cut patterns on powder coated steel are nothing new, but Susan adds decorative pieces that seem to complement the cutouts. These flower and leaf-shaped pieces spill out of the furniture and onto adjoining walls and floors for a beautifully wild and organic effect. Available in black or white.

THE QUINTESSENTIAL MINIMALIST’S BED, Eleen is a simple padded bed with a just a sliver of headboard. The chrome steel tubed legs are a taste of the true internal framework of the bed, which is covered in polyurethane and wrapped in removable fabric upholstery. An adjustable height version of the bed is available, with a push-button panel that allows you to extend the height of the headboard by about 6 inches.

FLOWERS TAKE A GIGANTIC LEAP from paisley to chic with Neringa Dervinyte’s Romance Tables.

SIMPLE LINES AND QUALITY JOINERY are all I need in a bed, and Kristian Eriksson’s Karlso satisfies my preferences handily. Made in either birch or oak, Karlso has a classically sparse Scandinavian style; its only flourishes lie in the angled footboard and headboard. The latter comes standard with wood infill panels; tongue & groove slats, fabric or natural fleece are optional.

WHITE SHOWS ALL and is therefore a somewhat risqué color, but Zanotta’s Evolution takes this gamble with aplomb. Not that there’s anything we’d want hidden: its swank, futuristic body is a blend of curved and angular elements, though our favorite feature is the narrow “window” near the base of the seat. Made from aluminum alloy and polyurethane.

THOSE OF YOU ON A PERPETUAL MID-CENTURY KICK may want to swing by Urban Outfitters’ furniture section, whose selection of vintage Danish modern-style goods is surprisingly tasteful. Simple geometric angles and rounded, tapered legs abound, along with the occasional eco-friendly rubberwood piece. Our personal favorites: a 75″ sofa that converts to a twin size bed, and this aluminum-topped coffee table with angled legs.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DOORS–or the lack thereof–with Mathias Frei’s highly customizable MShelving storage system. Everything from the size of the frame to the color and material of the doors can be adjusted by the buyer, allowing for an infinite number of combinations. The frame itself is made from galvanized steel, while the sliding doors are particle board wrapped with either wood veneer or powder coated steel. One important note–these units don’t come standard with back panels–so be sure to contact them directly if you need this option.

THE KISS PRINCIPLE rears its proverbial head once again with the Popup Chair; designers Alain Berteau & Charlotte Lancelot labored for nearly a year on an initially complex concept, only to end with “a block of foam cut in half.” The result is an ingenious seat that uses only seatbelt straps to convert between a lounger and a pouf. The chair is so simple that feet aren’t needed; this only adds to its versatility as a casual piece that is suitable in myriad environments.

UNUSUAL ENOUGH TO GO ANYWHERE, Instant is a system of three cubbyhole-like drawers with instant wall appeal. The design is best described as “futuristic for the 60s” with rounded corners and a pod-like mentality; finished in white with an orange interior, they look like a 2001: A Space Odyssey set piece. One thing that is decidedly not retro is its composition; instead of space-age plastic, Instant is made from traditional stained oak (available in white, wenge or grey); the interior can be finished in orange, white or mocha.

THOUGHTFUL AND MINIMALIST, Maude’s modular features betray its humble, ground-hugging design. Chief amongst these is a pair of panels on either end; included primarily for proportionality reasons, they can be rotated sideways to serve as a recessed cabinet and upwards to hold backrests. The bed is also doubly efficient; in addition to requiring only one person to build it, the entire piece–frame, supports, shelves and slats–is constructed from a single sheet of resin coated plywood.
