THE GRADUATE This stately wingback
chair supplants the grungy armchair that graces
many living rooms. Manly doesn't mean mangy
when good design and sophisticated fabrics are
part of the equation. Urban Barn drew its inspiration from the sharply dressed man when designing
the Graduate chair, giving the arms elbow patches
and choosing a tweed-like upholstery that could
easily blend in with one of your father's sports jackets. Don't hide this beauty in the man cave – place
it in a prominent spot where it can be enjoyed and
appreciated. $699; Urban Barn

THE BIG SQUEEZE
If you're brewing tea with loose
leaves, you appreciate the finer
points of beverage preparation.
Dreamfarm's Teafu tea infuser
makes it as easy as scoop,
steep, squeeze and stand. The
long arms of the infuser open at
the click of a button, letting you
dip the silicon compartment into
your tea leaves. Once you're
done steeping, the ball flexes to
squeeze every last drop out of
your leaves and avoid messy,
residual drips. It is also those two
magical words we love to hear:
dishwasher safe. $14.99; Ming Wo
