Another case of “I wish I lived back in the UK” struck me when I came across Otto Furniture’s Pause Desk. Pause is a system of shelving and storage options designed by Otto’s Simon Howkins for living room and home office situations.
Below: Pause two-drawer desk with a list price of £2241. Go to Otto Furniture for more information .

Always on the hunt for good benches, I was taken by Viva Terra’s Ship Wood Bench made of reclaimed wood from sunken ships. The wood’s salt-water-burnished patina gives it a smooth feel. It would also be great inside the front door. $589 at Viva Terra.

David Weeks, one of our favorite lighting designers, has just introduced his first furniture collection. The Sculpt line of upholstered pieces is inspired by topographic maps and Barbara Hepworth’s modernist stone sculptures. Weeks started out as a sculptor, which is evident in the asymmetrical shapes that appear to float on a stainless steel frame. The 10-foot sofa ($15,000), 8-foot sofa ($12,300), and armchair ($6,720) are serious investment pieces; available at Ralph Pucci International. See 10 Easy Pieces: Mod Bath Sconces and 10 Easy Pieces: Desk Lamps; also see Our Houses.
