Elbow Chair
Though hardly new, Hans Wegner's very handsome Elbow chair is new to Room & Board. Its wooden frame and stylish seat scream mid-century classic without making you feel like you've seen this one a thousand times before. $1,265
-
Tiffany Chair
On the other end of the spectrum is the Tiffany seating group. Comprised of a stool, dining chair and armchair, I love the glossy plasticity of the line. The armchair is the most comfortable of the lot, and at $250 it won't blow your decor budget out of the water. $250
-
Solis Pendant
Rather like a hoop skirt, this pendant is all about the drape. I cottoned to a smaller one, though you can get one that hangs some four feet in length. Subtle, stylish, and another winner from San Francisco lighting heroes Pablo. $300-500

Stinson Six Drawer Dresser
` $799-1,299

Fuller Rug
I quite liked this new rug, a handmade thing from Iran. At first glance the all-wool floor covering appeared to be hit with the dappled light of some fractured stained-glass skylight. Though the pattern might be overly assertive in bolder hues, the concrete gray keeps things appropriately calm. And at over $2,000 you'd better be sure that calm is what you want. $1,715-2,800
-
Chain Cable Rug
For an even more sedate carpet, go for the Chain rug, which is also 100% wool, costs loads less, and still makes a nice addition to any room. Again, I was drawn to the gray color, a nice cool tone that would look great on dark hardwood. $799-1,699
-
Pillar Table Lamp
I'd seen images of the Pillar table lamp online, and dug the orange glass base. It's actually a bit taller than I expected, but I like that it occupies this middle ground between mid-century austerity and late-60s groovy. Whether you're more Bobby Darin or Bobby Dylan, I think this lamp could really swing either way. $299
-
Henley Floor Pillow
This one is from 2008, but it jumped out at me as we wandered the showroom floor. Nice pop, but nothing overwhelming. A pretty perfect accent piece, really. And at 30" it's big enough to really knock your kid brother down a peg if you sling it just right. $99
-
Encore Sofa
As Joe and I walked the floor, we watched a pair of shoppers fighting with a rather trad hide-a-bed, battling massive cushions and a cranky frame to turn it back into a couch. It was an ugly scene. So imagine my happiness at seeing the Encore Sofa--not brand new, but for the first time in this flashy, Knoll-y red--which simply folds down into a bed when you want to stretch out. And at just $900 it's a pretty good guest room, or if you're in a small apartment like me, living room, piece. $899
-
Lady Costanza Floor Lamp
Considering Susan died before she and George could wed, I don't know from any Lady Costanza, unless screeching Estelle counts. But I do dig the Arco-inspired form of this one. Very Italian, very bendy. $1,768-1,880
-
Icon Table Lamp
I was more into the shape of this lamp than the nickel finish on the base. It lists a little into contempo style for my taste, but it's undoubtedly elegant, and lends something of a grown-up feel to a space. $299
-
Grove Nightstand
Forgo the unruly pile of books, papers, pens and magazines next to the bed, and instead opt for the The Grove nightstand, a clean, classic small cabinet from Room & Board, which will tidily house everything you'd like to have within reach from your place at the pillow. $1,049
