Hiding the hair-covered fleece pet bed when guests arrive is a thing of the past thanks to Chicago-based UDX Designs's Urban Dreams pet bed. With design cues making it at home alongside a Ligne Roset bed or other similarly sleek furniture, its an heirloom piece for pampering beloved animal friends.
Handcrafted of natural birch wood and stainless steel and upholstered in designer fabrics like mink faux fur, the Urban Dreams Pet Bed is a luxurious option for those whose love for their pets is on par with their appreciation of design.
In addition to other furniture options, UDX’s “soft" line of products includes pillow beds, throws and home-grown catnip pillows—all designed with the pickiest pets in mind.
The Urban Dreams Pet Bed can be purchased directly from UDX Designs for $685, with the other accessories ranging from $8-155.

In addition to showcasing the work of mid-century icons Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia, George Nakashima, Isamu Noguchi, Gio...
Courtesy of Coalesse, I recently had the chance to visit their Chicago showroom to see their latest collection of furniture conceived for the modern workspace. The experience revealed a new brand (it's actually the merging of Metro, Brayton and Vecta under Steelcase's umbrella) that's totally in touch with — or perhaps even ahead of — clients looking for a reinvented approach to office furnishings....
by Laurice Parkin Fans of Gaia & Gino, the Turkish company known for its quirky, luxe design objects, may not know that Gino is actually of the canine four-legged variety. So, it's only fitting that Gino, the beloved Golden Retriever of founder Gaye Cevikel (aka Gaia), has a say in the company's latest collection. Simply titled "Gino the Dog", the line's first collection melds form...

An antidote to everything cutesy and traditional that typically goes along with parenting, the baby revolution continues to grow, fueling more chic design and with it shifting ideas about raising children. Such is the case with Nest, the debut line from Ooba, a Chicago-based furniture company founded by pro-designers Scott Wilson, Kathleen Brandenberg, and brand strategist Dan Kraemer (all first-time parents). The trio's first...
