Kubi couch
, for example. Its generous, 90-inch width and sprawling 40 inches of depth invite deep relaxation for any body type upon fat, high resiliency, dense foam cushions. There’s nothing abstract about this sofa’s utilitarian expanse (or its accompanying throw pillows). The Kubi’s Dutch white polyester fabric meshes with most any collection — an ambience that brings to mind warm comfort during any season. Supported on a kiln-dried pine wood frame, Kubi is made to last for years of heavy use. Not a bad upgrade from your grandma’s floral-patterned couch, eh?
, lumbar-curved chair. A sturdy steel frame evokes the same minimalist aesthetic while the seat’s thick, comfy cushion nestles cozily into its arms. Steel legs promise durability and a lasting look while the chair’s removable cushion cover allows owners to keep their own and their guests’ behinds clean.
That spartan chic, however, won’t be complete without a table to bring the collection together. The 14 millimeter thick, solid white sealed marble
Mara
represents a heck of an option. The mid-century modern circular slab (measuring 31-and-a-half inches in diameter) sits upon three solid wood legs for a condensed punch that weaves in sync with Article’s clean lines. Perfect for bringing together various sets to provide a warm, compact atmosphere, the Mara’s classic flow mixes and matches with any style of seating.
Is it a kitchen nook that you’re looking to fill? The
Seno table
provides a compact spot for slurping on breakfast cereal in the morning, clacking away at digital work during the day and putting together intimate candlelit dinners in the evening. Also crafted with a classic mid-century modern influence in mind, the solid American oak surface sits upon four legs, tilted for firm balance and a mod mode.
To keep the farmhouse look around your Seno table,
Kissa oak dining chairs

To add a more modern twist,
Selka synthetic
, natural-colored chairs (wrapped around and above black-coated steel) proffer up wicker in soft, rounded curves. The open air weave keeps bodies cool, presenting that plein-air feeling during any season, indoors or out.
For dining rooms, dinner parties and meals featuring more of a crowd, the
Madera extendable dining table
is an 86- to 125-inch wide beast that can sit up to 12 comfortably. A textured oak tabletop with a brushed finish that’s split by an open center seam, the Madera gives off a craftsman air, a robust, functional piece that looks like it was both shop worked and the centerpiece of a workshop.
Homeowners can go with eight to 12 Seno or Kissa seats around the Madera for a punchy, pragmatic look, or, for a more formal setting, the Oscuro seat flaunts a garland green velvet seat over a brushed brass base that was created to be celebrated. Sold and shipped in pairs, the Oscuro fits right in around your dining table or snug at your desk.

There's still time to watch the first two seasons before season 3 comes out
Between the large variety of streaming options available to TV fans and the long wait times between new seasons, you'd be forgiven for forgetting some of the best programming on air today. Hopefully, when looking for shows that have slipped between the cracks, you take a look at Showtime's Yellowjackets. This gaudy, eye-popping drama is a mix of many different genres and capitalizes on shock value and creative storytelling techniques to craft a unique experience unlike anything else running at the moment.
The show is named after the girls' high school soccer team that the plot revolves around. The young women of the Yellowjackets are talented, ambitious, but flawed teenagers with hopes and dreams for the future. When their plane crashes in the woods during a cross-country flight to a soccer game, the obscene circumstances force many of the girls to do things they never would have imagined. In an ingenious bit of storytelling and character development, the show also bounces 25 years into the present timeline (the crash happened in 1996) to show the survivors of the crash in their early 40s in 2021. If you read Lord of the Flies at some point in school as a kid or got hooked on Lost during its 2000s heyday, you'll immediately see some parallels and shared DNA between Yellowjackets and those stories.
