Don’t be fooled by the name: Straight Line Designs is anything but. The Vancouver based brainchild of designer Judson Beaumont, Straight Line Designs has been creating wildly fantastic furniture for a quarter of a decade. These one-of-a-kind pieces are packed with personality and bring me to that horrible consumer dilemma: Why can’t I have them all!? If I had to choose, I think I’d have to crown the squid tables as my favorites. Straight Line Designs has also been commissioned to design rooms and special pieces for children’s hospitals, libraries, and, as if I already didn’t love them enough, they also made a Darth Vader Bear. — Katie D.
