The Knoll Sale is once again upon us and life is good. For those unfamiliar with Knoll, prepare to be delighted. As a design house with over 40 pieces displayed in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, this manufacturer is an invaluable source to those with an adoration for Mid Century Modernism.

Knoll’s MCM collection includes classics such as Eero Saarinen’s Womb Chair, Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona series, and my own personal fave, Harry Bertoia’s Bird Chair.

Aside from MCM offerings, Knoll also boasts a respectable collection of contemporary designs. Receiving the “Best of NeoCon Gold Award for Seating” is Knoll’s Generation Chair by Formway Design. GREENGUARD certified and holding several LEED credits, this chair is ergonomic innovation and design all in one neat and flexible package.

DwellStudio’s Draper Stripe is divine. That is the truth (and a bit of alliteration to boot).

Bed linens, rugs, cozy throws… My only wish that I could take one of those runners and wrap them around my waist to wear as a sweetly structured mustard yellow skirt.

DwellStudio Area Rugs

The area rugs are flat woven, composed of 80% wool/20% cotton. Simple but graphic – a perfect addition to any hallway, living room, or bedroom needing to fill their stripe quota. Yes, I am suggesting that there is a stripe quota for any and all rooms to fill. Stripes are awesome. Every room should have a few.

Draper Stripe Bed Linens, Ash. 100% cotton percale (320 thread count)

Of course, if you are donning your bed in stripes with the 100% cotton percale, 320 thread count Draper Stripe duvet set… then perhaps the area rug is not necessary. This stripe looks amazing on a bed, particularly when the duvet is turned down at an angle and a bit ruffled … a mish-mash of stripes. I know that everyone loves a duvet that looks *better* when rumpled.
