This roundup of things we liked this week originally appeared in the September 26, 2024 edition of theSecret Strategistnewsletter, a weekly email where we share the stuff our staff — plus a rotating cast of writers, design-world people, and various others with very good taste — would otherwise keep to themselves.

You know we love a spiral chair. If this oneis still for sale, we say run, don’t walk.These Luigi Serafinis are also otherworldlybut extraordinarily expensive and would have to be shipped from Minnesota (unless you live in Minnesota!). Hoping to one day findthe version with colorful seats. —Katy Schneider and Simone Kitchens

ReFramed Bed Frame
* We love architectRobert Finger’s Cape Cod house, and specifically his red Min bed, by DWR, in the lofted bedroom. Simone owns it too and loves it. (“It’s the best version of a metal bed,” she says.) Sadly, it seems to no longer be sold (you can sometimes find the bed on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace; here’s one inwhite in Union Squareand ablack one in Park Slope), but in the meantime,this one, from Finnish Design Shop, is more expensive but indistinguishable.
