First, we brought you the swinging table and now we present the Swing Sofa. German furniture designer Werner Aisslinger, of Studio Aisslinger , designed this rocking sofa for Vitra to promote a little relaxation in the office place. The A-frame structure suspends a comfy, cushioned sofa for two, where the smooth motion remains controlled. While it was made for the work environment, I think it’s perfect for a porch or a playroom

1 – Gone Girl
2 – The Perks of Being a Wallflower
3 – Where We Belong
4 – Let’s Pretend This Never Happened
5 – Just Kids
What books are on your wish list or what have you read that you can recommend??

Even if you’re having a small Thanksgiving get-together, placing menu cards at each setting adds a nice formal touch. You may remember from Friday’s Weekly Six, some free Thanksgiving printables were included in the link list. That list, however, didn’t include any menu cards, so that’s what today is all about!
It really is nice that those with graphic design skills offer such adorable printables for free to everyone throughout the Internet. The first menu above is from Sarah Hearts, who has a ton of free printables on her website – and they all coordinate so you can have a fabulous suite right at your fingertips. For nothing but the cost of paper and ink!
The second menu comes from Brooklyn Limestone, who also graciously offers a variety of free printables throughout her website.
Will you be using printables to dress up your Thanksgiving table? You still have a couple days to put it together!

Dutch designer Ka-Lai Chan ‘s latest work, the Gradient cabinet, holds things you want to display while also being a piece of art in itself. Cords made from polyester-covered natural latex are wound around the metal frame and become closer together the higher they go, making the objects that are on display partially hidden.
