The Level by Fluidstance

When I saw this from across the room, I thought it was a hoverboard and that Marty McFly would be swooping down the aisle at any moment. To the disappointment of my 5 year old self, it was not a hoverboard – but something much safer and more useful for my 35 year old body. The Level is a tool meant to “elicit subtle, constant movement below your feet to increase your range of motion and heart rate” while you work from a standing desk or chop veggies in your kitchen. Beautifully designed and built with the environment and your health in mind, it will quickly become your favorite office tool.
GrooveBox
This fresh concept is functional and creative. This simple and stylish multi-functional outdoor product can be a fire pit, barbecue, table, bench, stool, planter and more! There is nothing I love more than innovative design and these guys hit it out of the park.
LoveSac
Big thanks to our friend designer David Bromstad for introducing us to these giant “cloud pillows.” LoveSacs are comfortable, fun and easy to clean (washable covers!) – and come with a TWO lifetime warranty. PLEASE, PLEASE don’t call it a beanbag – the LoveSac is so much more than that. Get one and you’ll see what I mean. (See my demonstration photo above.) Ideal for family rooms, kids’ rooms or even fun stations at work. (Editor’s Note: What is a “fun station”? Is there one in our office? Did I miss an “all-staff” email?)
SkLO Studio
Old world craftsmanship + modern design! Designed in Northern California and handmade by skilled Czech glassblowers, these pieces are showstoppers in any room. Their bright colors and stunning shapes make me want to take them all home!
JumpSeat by Sedia Systems
Tight on space? JumpSeat has you covered with their sleek compact chair that closes to as little as four inches. They can stand alone or be fixed to a wall and come in a multitude of finishes and fabrics. Wondering how much weight something this compact can hold? Don’t you worry – it held my 200 lbs without making a sound which I found very flattering.
Illuministi
I think we can all agree that the lamp as we know it is due for a revolution and these guys are leading the charge! Their patent-pending technology allows them to print a motherboard on epoxy glass which also makes up the structure of the lamp. This means better light distribution and efficiency with a modern, minimal design.
LemonPie
Tired of the kiddos making forts and trampolines out of your beautiful Dwell store furniture? Seattle’s LemonPie makes fun, durable furniture that doubles as giant building blocks, allowing your little angel to use their imagination while preserving your furniture – and sanity.
Kodama Zomes
Spend your lazy summer weekends lounging in this geometric outdoor bed! Kodama Zomes are suspended above the ground, allowing them to sway slightly with a pendulum motion. Plus they look so great in a backyard.
ShapeCrete
One for the DIYers: this versatile concrete mix can be shaped, sculpted, molded or cast to make whatever you want. Just add water and get clay-like concrete to create everything from garden objects and home decor to crafts and everyday repairs. I like it because it allows a homeowner or designer to add a personal touch to a project, hopefully while drinking some wine.
Ariana Rugs
Ariana’s beautiful handwoven rugs can take up to a year to complete – and their commitment to social justice is as impressive as their textiles. With a child-free labor force and foundation that empowers Afghani women to be entrepreneurs, Ariana Rugs is truly transforming the industry.
And that’s it, folks! Come back later in the week and we’ll introduce you to three amazing designers – and new friends – we met at Dwell on Design.
Thank you so much, Make it Right team for selecting ShapeCrete as one of your fave products! Give us a shout if you’d be interested in getting some in your hands to play with!
Big thanks for all the great work you do in building better homes for better communities–now THAT’S a Top 10 fave any day of the week!
Thanks for putting us on your sweet list! We love what you do. The JumpSeat can actually hold up to 600lbs! That’s 3 of you!
