The Tandem Collection EM3 from Ego Paris is made up of 15 pieces that can be arranged in a variety of ways to suit your needs. A chaise can be strung together with an ottoman, corner table, and sunlounger to create a long, undulating seating zone.

The only caveat for this collection is for people with an insatiable need to rearrange furniture - with this many pieces available to switch and shape, you'll never have a moment to actually sit. Available to the trade.

The Alessi toothpick holder by Andrea Branzi is totally unneccesary, art-for-art's-sake genius. I love such things, but wonder how they're selling these days. $175 through Fitzu.

First, blend plenty of natural woods, stone and metal to bring nature inside and abound. Secondly, look for bamboo bathroom furnishings such as shelves or storage boxes for added serenity.
