Jane Bi-Sectional


Now you can have it both ways! Able to accomodate multiple people, this sectional is a must have. Not just any old sectional, the Jane Bi-Sectional (at Hipster Home) offers quality and comfort with unparalleled form and function. Perfect for a family of four, and even the family pet! Instead of just facing left or right, you are able to move an ottoman to the other end of the sofa and switch the cushions around so this sectional can used any way!  

Imagine having the seating options of a sectional without the restriction of a traditional sectional. Move it from one side of the room to the other, or against the wall or floating in the middle of the room.  The point is, that Hipster Home's Jane Bi-Sectional offers flexibility along with great style, great design and amazing durability.  They are the hottest seating option in the furniture industry.  Check it out at Hipster Home or shop online at www.hipsterhome.com

iittala Dinnerware / "Against Throw-away-ism"


Iittala philosophy

"Have you noticed how easy it is, in our shopping-oriented world, to crowd your home with meaningless things? You find yourself with short-lived items that eventually cease to function, or go out of style. So they are thrown away, adding to the growing mountains of unusable rubbish on our planet, while you keep on shopping for new things.

Was life meant to be like this? Like more and more people, Iittala doesn’t believe in throwawyism. Long ago, designer Kaj Franck’s postulated that “objects should always be appropriate, durable and functional.” Objects that can be endlessly combined in new ways, refreshing everyday life. At Iittala, we believe in lasting everyday design against throwawayism.

For a long time, Iittala has been part of an ongoing revolution. This is based on the belief that all human beings can make conscious choices in everyday life. Choosing objects that will last in design and quality will please our senses and create harmony in our everyday lives. Fortunately, this is also a choice for a more sustainable society, and against buying short-lived things destined for the rubbish bin.   

 It is in the natural flow of things, however, that all objects will not last forever; they might break or colours and sizes in the assortment might change. But as all Iittala objects are designed to be combinable, even though all variations might not be offered all the time, any new purchases will still fit with existing and future Iittala objects. This allows you to build and refresh your own personal Iittala collection endlessly over time.

Less is more. Mies van der Rohe’s legendary statement has become even more relevant to our planet today. Is it relevant to you? In that case, you might want to follow us and refuse throwawayism."  [Iittala]

Hipster Home will be launching the introduction of the Taika line of Iittala china in mid September (but you can get it online now at hipsterhome.com ).  Taika means ‘magic’ in Finnish, and Klaus Haapaniemi wants his illustrations to inspire your own imagination and storytelling. Combined with other essential design objects of the Iittala collection, Taika gives a magic touch to everyday life.  Each piece that has been designed by Haapeniemi is hand made and fired by some of the leading craftsmen in the industry.  Iittala china is made out of vitro porcelain, which is a modern, durable porcelain with a slightly off-white shade.  All Iittala china is oven, microwave and freezer safe. 

You will not find finer china anywhere in the world.... period!

Spiegelau Classic Beer Glass Have Arrived!


Yes, the long awaited introduction of the classic beer glasses by Spiegelau has finally arrived at Hipster Home.  Expanding onto our popular Riedel Crystal stemware, we are now proud to introduce Spiegelau platinum crystal classic beer glasses.  When you first pick up the glass the first thing you'll notice is its light weight due to the lead-free crystal.  I know, I know, you're gonna say that I've been preaching so long about the benefits of crystal in your barware.  And that philosophy still holds true.  But Spiegelau is different due to its platinum process while in its molten state that gives these glasses their strength and clarity.  The magic in these glasses still gets down to basic physics.  The glasses are specifically designed to increase the heavy beer ingredients into the bottom of the glass which narrows at the bottom.  This narrowing of the base increases the glass pressure at the bottom and pushes up the CO2 and unleashing more of the beers specific quality ingredients.  Not to mention it may just be the sexiest beer glasses in the world.  Can you imagine......... a beer glass that's sexy.  It just may be the last beer glass you'll ever own!  Check it  out at www.hipsterhome.com

Blu Dot - Dwell Lounge Chair


Blu Dot and Dwell Magazine teamed up for a design competition in 2007. Architect Ralph Rapson came out on top and we agree. Introducing the Blu Dot Dwell Lounge chair. A perfect fusion of mesh and stainless steel or mesh and satin black powder coating. This oversize lounge chair is simple and unexpected. You can choose  from silver or lilac mesh and its suitable for outdoor use.  Imagine these ultra sleek, ultra modern and ultra comfortable on the deck of your pool or in your garden.  The mesh fabric is transparent that hides from no one (why would it?) and has a presence that is commanding.  The chair is made even stronger by using one welded piece of tubular steel and the mesh fabric's weave adds to its stability.  Perfect for the whole family (even Fido will stake his claim on this super comfortable lounge chair that is more reminiscent of a hammock as it cradles your body.  See more at www.hipsterhome.com
