Simplymod strikes again. This delightful little teak stool crafted by a Danish maker in the ’60s works as an seat or ottoman. With its gently curved seat and angled legs It could live comfortably in interiors that aren’t strictly modern.

ID Magazine’s May 2008 issue has an article on Johnson & Johnson chief design officer Chris Hacker who has been improving their brand image and commitment to sustainability since his hiring in 2005. Here are a couple of nice shots of their beautiful New York office from the printed edition.

The obligatory dining room setup is a Saarinen Tulip with Eames plastic chairs. See more of Andrew Wilson’s snapshots from the Hollin Hills House + Garden Show.

“Like an insect warming itself in the sun, the Snee-oosh Cabin sits in the underbrush at the water’s edge near Deception Pass on the Swinomish Indian reservation. Eight 1-1/2” bolts support steel legs — strategically placed to preserve the old trees that reach in to the earth to support a panelized roof and a suspended “belly” that floats within the coniferous canopy.”
