OFFI make lifey gooooood
Target, you steal my heart! You’ve got the best deal on the OFFI line, period.
Okay my modern loving friend, if you aren’t yet familiar with OFFI, you’re in for a treat. OFFI & Company is the collaboration of of a team of independent international designers that in the last three years have launched over 30 fresh products to wide acclaim. Because I couldn’t say it much better myself, here’s OFFI’s own words:
“We satisfy [our] passion [for great design] by creating simple, beautiful and practical furnishings that address the modern urban lifestyle. OFFI products are created to be multifunctional, comfortable, and at home in any modern home in the world.”
I’ve selected three of my favorite OFFI designs for this post. First, the W Magazine Stand (top) is an ultra mod design made not just to hold your magazines but to proudly show them off. Stylish, sophisticated, yet curiously playful, the simple curves of shiny birch veneer over molded plywood keep magazines, papers or books easily accessible.
Pictured at right, the Overlap Tray is a very cool way to take your productivity into your comfort zone. This portable desk fits over your lap, has a spot for notes, mags, etc and a cork inset for pens, utensils or drinks for lefties or righties. A fun to touch silky smooth finish in birch or walnut (Target only carries the birch) gives this design a very sleek modern feel.
The Waterfall Table really is whatever you want it to be. Prop up your feet for an easy to reach ottoman, stash a drink or a book on top if you need a place to set things down, or sit comfortably on the padded side and chat with a friend.
OFFI’s innovative designs are aesthetically stunning and extremely versatile. They’re a breath of fresh air for those in need of space saving alternatives and some of the best solutions out there for the modern urban lifestyle.
