While PULSE!-ing around Blog-o-space on my trusty iPhone, I landed on Contemporist: An architecture and interior design blog focused on "new products and projects in the world of contemporary design." Since I already cracked open the Art as Architecture seal, I thought I would sit petty and feature some of the items that brighten our lives,starting with Noon Studio's Steel Stool.
