Christian Liaigre Sofa
*We were already eyeing this perfectChristian Liaigre sofawhen we saw Sophie Buhai post from thelobbyof the Mercer with the caption “Christian Liaigre heaven.” (He designed the hotel, thus theinspiring abundanceof his furniture.) Some other nice ones from the designer available around the internet right now: this incrediblysexy red sofa on 1stDibs, this soft graydaybed.And for something in the same vein as the sofa but cheaper, this Liaigre-ishchairby — of all people — James Perse is nice.

Teva Voya Infinity
* Second summer in a row we’re pulling out these strappy, weirdly sexy littleTevas!
* In Common With, the maker of very appealingchandeliers,pendants,floor lamps,surface mounts, etc., opened a furniture–home-goods store calledQuarters. Nothing is available online, but suffice it to say, this place is overflowing with handsome items, few of which are less than $1,000. We’re attracted to the iron seahorse sconce, though we’re sorry to report it is $7,750, and the red-corduroy-and-sapele bed frame, which we’re sorry to report is $20,000.

*And on the subject of rugs:Sharktooth, one of the city’s best rug stores, is closing! Really sad, but there’s a 30-percent-off sale through July 1.

But honestly, all its stuff is pretty great: Greatorange cargo pants, greatSupima-cotton button-downs, greattwill straight-legs, greatsimple jackets,cool shoes …) He also says he recently bought aMontbell hathe’s happy about for runs, hikes, etc. (We’re generally big fans of Montbell.) And he bought the first dining chair fromWillett, Molly Baz’s husband’s line. (Dan is very excited about this chair.)
