Playful, ultramodern renderings of everyday objects for the home fill this Hayes Valley shop.

In Short
The design-conscious housewares and furnishings here range from sleek and modern coffee tables to quirky kitchen utensils, from avant-garde lighting fixtures to smooth earthenware in rich, unexpected colors. While established lines from purveyors of all things mod like Herman Miller, Philippe Starck and Alessi populate the store, so do offerings from local and emerging names like Publique Living and Heath. Rotating art installations displayed throughout the space showcase new talent.

Cool one of a kind items.

This place is a bit on the expensive side, but they offer one of a kind gift and decorations for your home. I went in once to check out their cool ipod wallets. It's a good place to go to buy a gift for someone that has everything.

• Pros: unique
