the keen eye: be brave

while flipping through the latest issue of readymade (which, coincidentally focuses on greening your nest, something we're quite keen on around these parts), i came across a fabulous end table crafted by the folks over at brave space design. sleek, smooth, and made of blonde and amber bamboo, it's modern without being untouchable or unfriendly.

i hopped over to their website and found a lot of other interesting things - most notably their homage to the designs of alexey pajitnov (the father of Tetris). the reversable and interchangable tetrad shelves make for a seemingly endless number of combinations, and i think no matter what your living space looks like, you could find a way to make them work. [as a side note, their website provides you with a handy printable pdf of all the different shapes so you can plan your shelves before you order!]

by way of background, brave space design is a group of three brooklyn-based designers, sam kragiel, nikki frazier, and jesse james arnold who all met while attending art school in gainesville, fl. their hands-on approach to the design and construction of each piece has led them towards the use of materials that are both durable and environmentally sustainable.
