Probably my favorite of all, the Hendrix Desk is constructed of rough-hewn reclaimed Peroba wood, black walnut, heavy-duty steel “M” legs and iron hardware.

…And the best part: the back of the desk doubles as an open shelf for all of your favorite texts. $1299.

The Shadowbox Tower is a very modern way of looking at the bookcase/display case. Made of cold-rolled steel, this artful addition boasts a hand-applied graphite finish. $899. Plus, I’m in love with the European white oak Dakota Dining Table for a handcrafted look. $1399. The all-weather wicker Captiva Chairs are $269-$329 each.

A Midcentury revival, the Paloma Sideboard is made from strips of eco-friendly peroba wood wrapped around a solid mahogany frame. $2499.

The new Walker Dining Table, shown here in Cherry, reinterprets the classic farmhouse stretch table by adding graphic lines and a powder-coated steel base plus a high-gloss top of engineered wood. It’s also available in six additional colors. $999.

I think the pattern of the Cruz Pillow is just lovely: graphic yet feminine, contemporary yet vintage-inspired—and the color palette is right on point. $70.

Part desk, part console, part dining table, the super-versatile Phoenix Work Table is made from reclaimed Brazilian telephone poles so that each has its own distinct character. The shape of the iron loop base makes this rugged piece more graceful and interesting. $1299.

A reissued classic, the Milo Classic Leather Lounge Chair revives the vision of Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin. It features semi-aniline leather cushions on a nickel-plated, flatbar stainless steel frame. $2499.

Stone Forest‘s new Siena bathroom collection—available in Atlanta exclusively at PDI Plumbing—includes the fabulously curvy Adagia chaise lounge in Siena silver-grey marble. The literature on this collection suggests keeping it in the bathroom to take your daily rituals to another level, but I think it would be just as amazing in an outdoor setting, perhaps surrounded by overgrown container gardens.

Manutti is a manufacturer of incredibly chic, contemporary outdoor furnishings, available locally in Atlanta through Walters Wicker. Though the company’s appropriately titled “Atlanta” collection is gorgeous in its own right, I also love how elements of the new Zendo modular collection can be configured for the ultimate lounging experience—including a makeshift outdoor bed for lounging all day in the sun.

I’ve been eyeing the Porro Synapse dining table by Jean Marie Massaud, available in Atlanta at the Domus International showroom, for a while. It’s a fantastic combination of sleek steel and an almost organic motif. It would make a great oversize desk, as well! Just think about the possibilities of a desk chair to go with it.

A collaboration between McLaughlin Collection—a maker of fine acrylic furniture—and photographer Richard Bettinger, these new C. Tables have a sleek, versatile shape and inset panels featuring Bettinger’s light photography. They’re available in black and white Lucite and a variety of accompanying images. Bettinger’s “Light Speed” photograph, set on a black table, is pictured above. Available locally at Smith Grubbs & Associates.

Tracy Glover, a Rhode Island-based glass artisan, designs these fantastic mouth-blown glass lamps. She offers an expansive inventory but can also make them custom in any color and a variety of shapes. Lampshade fabric and color—as well as metal hardware and more—are also customizable. These sort of remind me of a less expensive, more contemporary version of the Venetian Murano glass lamps of the mid-century. You can pick up these beauties locally through Cantoni for around $925.

I recently happened upon these stunning Harman/Kardon computer speakers, which look like chunky, sparkling cut crystal. They’re actually made from bulletproof glass, which is a cool enough selling point in itself. For audiophiles, the sound quality is a dream. For design enthusiasts, they’re beyond glamorous—more than you’d ever expect from an everyday electronic. Order a pair of them—with woofer—through the Apple Store or at store.apple.com/us for $1000.

Gallery Hops at SCAD Atlanta are free and open to the public, allowing you to view many of SCAD’s groundbreaking exhibits at no cost—even a free shuttle to the galleries and parking services are available at the SCAD Atlanta campus. Fortunately, one of these seasonal events is lined up for this evening—with refreshments served at select galleries. Details below:

The ACA Gallery of SCAD Atlanta welcomes the work of Cao Fei (a Chinese artist currently shortlisted for the Guggenheim Foundation’s Hugo Boss Prize), who presents “NO LAB on Tour”—a range of dynamic and politically charged films and line drawings depicting a Katrina-battered New Orleans. Joining the exhibit is a carnival cart with computers linked to another of this artist’s projects, Second Life. Viewers can use the software to create their own avatar and navigate the virtual world created by this digital architect. The exhibits continue through February 7 but are on view for free tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St.

Swing by Trois Gallery for Erick Swenson’s moving “Caught Captive” exhibition (shown above) of naturalistic cast resin sculptures depicting allegorical, hybrid creatures frozen in dramatic moments of tension. His Whitney Museum-exhibited “Carpet Piece”—an intricatedly painted fiberglass sculpture designed to look like a woven carpet—is also on view. This exhibit continues through January 24 but is on view for free tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. SCAD Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St.

Head to Gallery See at 3:30 p.m. for a gallery talk by the creators of “Horsepower”—a two-person painting exhibition by SCAD Savannah professor Gregory Eltringham and SCAD’s 2009 Visiting Artist, Matt Blackwell. From cruiser cars to equine imagery, the works play off the double meaning of the title word and pay homage to a nostalgic American past. This exhibit continues through February 26 but is on view for free tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. Visit at 3:30 p.m. for the artists’ talk. SCAD Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St.
