I love the Luca Nichetto hook box but can't seem to find it available for sale anywhere. Anyone know where I can actually buy it?
Same comment on Poppi bed/desk? Or even better, any other suppliers/feasibility of having a carpenter build such an item?
1,4 and 8 are brilliant
Why does every "these 5 things are exactly what you need" feature 5 things that are not available for sale?
Can't you find products that are in production, for sale to the public, and solve problems?
Speaking of multifunctional furniture, does anybody know where I can buy small cube-type things to use as coffee tables or end tables, where the cubes have storage inside but are not made of leather (or pleather)?
I agree with the comments above. I appreciate great design, but I want to acquire it, not just admire it. Please provide sources for stuff that include where to buy things. Otherwise, I'm left wishing for functional boxy hooks that I would otherwise not be aware of. Ignorance isn't bliss, but it's better than wishing you had something you never will. Disappointed :(
Yeah, I have to chime in and say it's always reaaallly disappointing to have a great list like this and have a large number of the products be not in production or otherwise unavailable to buy. (And yes, I know this is an unfair, USA-centric view, but: Not for sale in the US, or Canada, or even via an e-commerce website from another country that *clearly* states it can ship to the US = NOT available.)
I get the value of showing new and innovative designs or prototypes, but they should be in their own posts and labelled very clearly at the top that they are not actually available, to minimize disappointment and heartbreak.
I absolutely love the Tre Table, Poppi Transformable System, and Trick table. Does anyone know where to purchase the latter two? Either local or online stores works.
Love that hook box, but whoa, what a price tag!!! For a hook, maybe I'll just try to figure out how to DIY.

The Hook Box was carried by DWR a number of years ago - but no more. (It cost $270 back in Oct. 2007, and went on sale for $98 in Dec. 2007.)
Since the Luca Nichetto website says it's made for Bosa (http://www.bosatrade.com/home/home_gen_en.htm) I've just sent an email to Bosa asking if there's anywhere those of us in the USA can purchase it. I'll share any reply I get.
