“Canape” sofa by Lila Jang. If I had this, I wouldn’t be able to shake off the feeling that it does crawl around the house when I’m not looking. I’d jump into the room shouting “Aha!” every hour or so.

“Knife” coat hooks by Tianyi Chang. For the secret psycho killer in all of us.

"Divided" sofa set

“Divided” sofa set (by whom, I have no idea). Because yo momma always told you not to play with the black paint. I keep thinking — black waffles.
