I'm all for kitchy, thrift store retro stuff--used in theory--but I've seen a lot of that kind of furniture and knick knacks, and they're not the kinds of things that would make me smile on a cold gray Chicago day. It's all clean lines and solid forms, yet it also comes across as cold, sterile and uninspired; worse, cheaply constructed. Personally, all the items on this page are horribly pricey. A sofa for $4000? A small desk clock for $300? Unless you work hard to accent the right pieces together: be careful and buy things you know you'll want in ten years and not after the latest Wallpaper magazine says they're out of vogue.

Wow, that Wormley couch is a real looker. These pieces work particularly well together.
