Agree to Disagree: Paint Splatter Bean Bag
We're fond of our lil' Outblush Editorial family, and are usually in accord regarding product selection, but sometimes we look at an item that a fellow editor has chosen and do a double take. Which is why we bring you Agree To Disagree, a new... [More]

Manhattan Shine Sofa
Don't know if it's worth the almost ten grand price tag, but we'd pay a hefty rental fee to lounge around on this Manhattan Shine Sofa ($9600) for a few hours a night. The sleek sapphire blue velvet is just begging to be laid upon... [More]

We'll let the newness of 2010 wash over us like a cool breeze in the Brainstream Design online store. Their folding table and chair concept pieces revolutionize the standard, but we have expensive taste. The bigger, bolder, and badder Bamboo Segmented Chair ($5200) is the... [More]

Lin Pod Bench

Doubtblush: Teppan Sofa
This Teppan Chair ($4550) has got to be the unnatural offspring of our grandmothers' wicker love seat and an egg pod chair. The description says it's "comfortable and relaxing," but we can't see how it would ease our tired minds to perch inside a scratchy,... [More]

Cortica Chaise Lounge
Now this is our kinda recycling... DMFD's Cortica Chaise Lounge ($5,000) is made from cork waste material from the bottle stopper industry, so what you're sitting on might once have been part of a bottle of Two Buck Chuck. The sinuous, swooping design is curved... [More]
Pickett Forbannelse Chair
The Pickett Forbannelse Chair ($1800) looks simple, unassuming and honestly, not that comfortable at first glance, but designer Jeremy Pickett made us not judge a book by its cover. "Straight angles married with rich earthy wood grain" is beautiful, but we have to look inside... [More]

Pirwi Knit Lounge
The more we think about the Pirwi Knit Lounge ($Inquire) by Mexican designer Emiliano Godoy, the more we like it. It combines smooth geometric wooden pieces with cotton rope connections for flexible comfort that's totally cool. The dynamic body response adjusts to individual physical traits,... [More]
Bemz IKEA Slipcovers
It's true, we're still vegging out on the same IKEA couch we've had since we moved out of the dorms. It's a good, sturdy couch, but man, are we sick of the white, industrial, well-worn slipcover. Bemz has come to our rescue with slipcovers made... [More]
Cappellini Ribbon Stool
We're channeling our inner ribbon dancer (come on, we all have a twirling past) with the Cappellini Ribbon Stool ($1430). As usual, Nendo for Cappellini made this piece way too much fun, but very controlled at the same time, and we love that boiling-over yet... [More]
Adam Goodrum Stitch Stool

The Coolest Chair Ever Made
British designer Charlie Davidson's newest seating solution is called The Coolest Chair Ever Made ($Inquire). Now, that doesn't sound arrogant or anything...

Personal Shopper: BIIIIIIIIG Laptop Bags for Amy
In response to yesterday's personal shopper for cute bags for 14" laptops, Amy J wrote in to ask for ones for those of you with bigger laptops, i.e. 17+ inches, because "The only bags in that size are stupid black manly ones."Ugh, we know. Here ya go, Amy J!
You can always try a Mozi Waratah Laptop Sleeve ($55, #1 in pic) and pop it into any old bag or tote bag. Mozi sleeves come in a bunch of pretty prints and in sizes for a lot of laptops.
Okay, yes, this Riku Laptop Bag ($95, #2) is black, but we don't think it's manly. In fact, we're kinda digging the anime-inspired Swiss design.
Classic more your thing? Choose a Franklin Covey Alyssa Laptop Bag ($169, #3) in green or black.
For earthier styles, we love this Grainne 17" Messenger Bag from J'Tote ($195, #4). It features leaser-cut leather engraving and lots of interior pockets.
Finally, just because it's a)cute and b)red, we're digging on Kajsa Rydberg's Red Rose 17" Laptop Bag made strikingly strong with embroidered neoprene ($85). Very chic.
