Dwell Product of the Day

Fabric

Wed, 4 Mar 2009 7:12:34 PST

We'll admit that Ikea is known for a million other bargains before being thought of as a force in the fabric world. But a coworker recently showed up in the office with a kicky bag she made with a bold print from the Swedish superstore, and it prompted us to take a closer look at the textile selection. Shown here in Patricia, there are many more patterns to choose from at a price that makes great (fashion) sense.

Reusable Bag

Reusable bags are all the rage, and you want to make sure that yours will hold up to the heaviest grocery loads and errand runs. This tote from Timbuk2 is made from 90% recycled fabrics, zips up into a tiny pouch when not in use, and will guarantee your eggs make it into the fridge without a crack.

Fan

Long to feel the wind in your hair, but a little too lazy to leave the couch? The OTTO fan will keep you chilled out while looking darn cool itself. Wood-framed, three-speed and certainly no plastic eyesore, you can keep this piece in view even when you don't need its breeze.

Vase

Imagine this strange circumstance: what if all your possessions were reduced to simple line drawings? This vase is the ultimate one-lines, and what it lacks in depth it makes up for in charm, providing just the right spot for a single gerber daisy.

Air Purifier

Winter's not quite over yet, but your eyes might already be watering at the thought of allergy season coming in the spring. LightAir has designed a sleek purifier that uses IonFlow technology to silently attract the pollutants in your home. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing all the dust and dirt collect on the outside of the piece; much better on the LightAir than in your lungs.

Print

Some might say that we here at Dwell feel that the earth revolves around a well-designed home. Andrew Holder might share our thoughts; his screen print elevates a tightly-knit neighborhood above the land and sea in a dreamy vision of an airborne town.

Chair

Stripped down to its nuts and bolts, this powder-coated steel chair from Andre Klauser for Thorsten van Elten proves that the simplicity of straight lines can be just plain beautiful.
