Ikea is adding 71 new items for fall-and it's remarkable that their products are becoming cooler and weirder, not more Targety and grosser. While a number of the items are rehashes of vintage designs-their chair with cushions that turn like a book is a riff on a vintage modern chair entirely composed of hinged cushions, and the lamps are camp George Nelson updates-lots of it looks pretty wonderful.

Ooooooh, I like the sea urchin chandelier. And the stepstool!
My meth logic has a whole different application for the pepper mill and the bendable lamp.
Can I getta Wha. Wha.
The Balk flooring is my personal favorite.
My last Whopper was made out of wicker as well.
So Ikea's new stuff was inspired by MC Escher fans who don't like being comfortable?
Pffft, "pepper mill" -- Ikea, I think I know a vibrator when I see one.
Careful - that shit burns.
I like the indoor fire grate/candleholder. So much more convenient than just setting the coffee table on fire, like I've been doing.
That red and white rug will be mine.
