Even though I spend most of my days with my MacBook, I’m still a sucker for writing instruments. Especially when they’re pretty and white!

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, these aren’t on the market (quite yet).

Even small decorations bring the holiday spirit into your home. Isn’t this wreath sweet?

Chester Lit Armchair, $680 at Design Within Reach
Light-filled chairs and chesterfields are the latest concoctions to arrive at Design Within Reach.
The company asked Italian designers Raffaella Mangiarotti and Matteo Bazzicalupo of Deep Design to refine the 2009 model and make it better suited to braving the outdoors.
(You might know Mangiarotti from her Dandelion Lamp now included in MoMA’s permanent collection, pictured below:)

The collab between Deep Design and DWR is what we see today: the Chester chair’s button tufting and rounded arms are fun and comfortable while the innovative draining system ensures that the chair and built-in light fixture will remain dry and weather-proof.
What a brilliant solution.

P.S. I was so inspired by Deep Design’s work that I embarked on a little search to feature more of their designs on White Cabana next Wednesday. Stay tuned for more inventive Deep Design!
Here’s a new concept in lighting brought to us by the Japanese manufacturer kyouei. The light lies flat but it transforms into a 3D honeycomb lamp in a matter of minutes (or seconds!). How do you feel about building your own light?
Before: The Honeycomb lies flat
After: The Honeycomb Lamp, 63 Euro

I love this white CN Tower sculpture placed perfectly in a corner of Douglas Coupland’s home. Thoughts?
