This week I thought I would highlight our new Lollygagger Dining Collection. Like all our modern furniture, this collection comes in 10 different colors.

All of us at the office wish we could have been magically transported to Palm Spring’s for the annual Modernism Week festival this past week. Instead, we are buried (again) under 2 feet of snow.
