@MmhargMichelle I know, I saw this. Really interesting that people are buying virtual furniture!

@MmhargMichelle To be fair, I don't think anyone would mistake Bridgerton as an accurate portrayal of early 19th century life.

@Sarcher My dad got it a couple of weeks ago! It's a huge relief!

@Sarcher Sending hugs. My little guy had a tough time last week but is now back to his bouncy self. Sending love yours will be the same.

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva?

Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States

@Sarcher @MorrisAnimal I'm not sure what I love most about this picture--Toast's expression, the farmhouse vintage cabinet, or the big stack of books in the background! Nothing says "curator" like a big stack of books! 🐈👍😆

@Sarcher My mom had one of these.... probably still does.

[Julie Muniz @JuMuJulie]

@Sarcher Me too!

@Sarcher I named a kitten Cooper once after Agent Cooper. He was part of a litter that was living under my apartment in college. When I found a home for him they renamed him Clyde. 😾

Every time I get a delivery slot with #WholeFoods I feel like I've just won a very sad lottery.

If you can't find hand sanitizer, blame this guy (and others like him). As for his desire not to be on the front page as the guy who hoarded 20k bottles and is selling at 20x cost... well, too late dude.

Inspired by the formation of layered sedimentary rock, Sophia Rowley created a new material from discarded denim. Called Bahia Denim after a blue Brazilian marble, the layered the textile offcuts create a moire effect in undulating shades of blue to grey and black.

Hella Jongerius' 2005 Polder sofa was inspired by the landscape of her Dutch homeland. Reminiscent of distant mountains, the sofa’s asymmetry highlights its non-uniform but coordinated color palette, playing on ideas of light and shadow.

In 1955, George Nelson set out to design a chair that allowed for comfort as well as freedom of movement. Shaped like a chunk of coconut, his Coconut chair featured a thick piece of upholstered foam cradled within a cupped base and perched on three thin stainless steel legs.

Korean designer Dohoon Kim’s Tension Bentwood chair takes the classic Thonet technique to the next level. Using thin strips of ash, Kim creates organic shapes by layering and bending, allowing the wood to naturally arc and twist rather than dictating its direction with molds.

If spring doesn’t come soon, I propose changing SF’s nickname to Frog City. This seems extra fitting given today is German designer Herbert Hirche’s birthday. In 1955 Hirche designed a stackable chair with a rounded back that reminded him of a certain amphibian.

After years of trial and error, Gavin Munro created Full Grown furniture forest. Each piece starts as a small seedling that is planted and gently trained around a chair-shaped structure. Eventually the branches mature and strengthen until—Voila! A chair is born!

Inspired by the shadows created by palm leaves, Talenit's Panama collection by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba features simple, modern shapes interwoven with rope to highlight the interplay of light and shadow.
