now i love paris & all things parisian as much as the next person... and i had a dreamy 2 year experience living there. but this is just plain silly. luxury living from today's NYT urbaneye. $39 bucks for some cotton straps to make a pile of stuff? genius!"From Paris, a New Use for the 'Must-Read' Pile The Book Stool, created by the Paris-based industrial designer Arik Levy for a new French company called Eno, can be any size you like. What you buy is a set of cotton and nylon straps; what you fill them with — a stack of old magazines, catalogs or books — is entirely up to you. Mr. Levy’s solution for turning unruly piles of reading material into extra seating is part recycling tool, part home organizer, part storage and part furniture. The Book Stool, which costs $39, is available at the Conran Shop, 407 East 59th Street (First Avenue), (866) 755-9079 or conranusa.com"
