I’m a huge George Nelson fan, his classic maple slat bench has been a center piece in my living room for sometime now, and it’s one of my favorite pieces of classic modern furniture, ever. I was really pleased to see what 54Dean, a brooklyn based design duo, was up to. This is what they call the Georgie Bench, paying homage to Mr. Nelson’s timeless design. Their bench is made with waste conscious construction, and sustainability in mind–infact, the bench is made up of nothing but bamboo and stainless steel.

Moda-Mia is a small online boutique with some unique and extremely limited edition men and womens fashion. They feature up and coming designers–the concept of Moda-Mia is to increase the availability of amazing designs from tomorrow’s hottest designers. Their group of designers is slowing growing, and they’re very, very picky. As it stands now, they have much more women’s garments then mens. I’m a fan of this jacket by Hieros, classic pinstripes called “The Bowler“. Hieros is a new line designed by Roger Alan, drawing from his past experience creating patterns and samples for DKNY and BEBE– he has now gone independent. Give Moda-Mia some time to grow, it looks promising.
