Okay, we happen to be in San Francisco visiting our team here (and enjoying the really good lattes), but this street scene relates to what we wrote about just last week in one of our emails...

CB2's Rex Chair is a hot affordable design (particularly in grey). We took this pic just an hour ago (top) at the Dolores Park Cafe. The table is called Eddy and is a knockoff of the Inox table with goes for $800 at DWR.

They are remarkably similar, aren't they?

Inox from DWR:

"Precision is the hallmark of Swiss design, whether the product is an invariably accurate wristwatch or a high-speed train that always arrives on time. In that spirit of perfectionism, Design Within Reach offers the Swiss-made Inox Table Collection. Elegant yet robust, these stainless-steel caf; tables have a highly polished surface with an engine-turned scallop pattern on the solid steel tabletop."

Eddy from CB2:

" Prismatic, acrobatic, pragmatic. In that order…the stainless weather-resistant top is machined to create a scallop prism pattern that does a neat rainbow, light-refracting thing. Acrobatic…same talented top unlocks to flip down out of the way, or back up on a drink's notice (and speaking of drinks, levelers on each leg adjust to right uneven patio and ground surfaces)."
