MR. MENCKEN’S LIBRARY One of the early bookcase sets produced by the F. E. Hale Company was sold to a young reporter for the Baltimore Sun by the name of Henry Louis Mencken, a man who became one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. Today, the dedicated artisans of Hale take pride in continuing a 100-year-long tradition of hand-building those same stackable, heirloom-quality Barrister Bookcases, whose practicality, versatility, and classic style have never been surpassed. Sections interchange, no tools needed. Raised panels fit into rail and stile joinery frames, exactly as they were crafted for H. L. Mencken

WHY THE CANDIDATES WANT TO BE PRESIDENT So they can sit in this chair, of course! The Oval Office Chair is a brilliant example of American craftsmanship that has served nine American Presidents, Democrats and Republicans, in the inner sanctum of the White House. Its ergonomic design and high-quality construction are the work of The Gunlocke Company, furniture makers for more than a century. Very few of these chairs have ever been made, and this is a rare opportunity to acquire, not only a piece of history, but the most comfortable chair of its kind in the world. To understand why Presidents favor this chair, experience one for yourself.

MONTANA, BY WAY OF MANHATTAN Judging by the direction of fashion and home decor and of-the-moment restaurants and shops, you might mistake Manhattan for Montana. According to The New York Times, the stark minimalist look of the 1990s has been swept away. In its place, city dwellers have embraced the rural, antler-trimmed motif of hunting lodges. Rustic (yet surprisingly sophisticated) works of art, handcrafted by successors to Louis Comfort Tiffany, create a warm, effusive glow last seen circa 1900. Visually potent, nature-inspired lighting and decorative pieces of the Meyda Tiffany Collection turn the city home into a timeless and relaxing showplace with personality and style.

PING PONG AT GOOGLE Google's original boardroom table was a ping pong table, so its not surprising that the company now provides ping pong tables in its corporate recreational facilities. Cerebral and low-impact, ping pong is deliriously simple, a great way to keep reflexes sharp and a great way to relieve tension. According to The Los Angeles Times, ping pong tables are cropping up in über-hip artist lofts and galleries, as the sport becomes a secret passion of entertainment crews who unwind between takes. A search for the best equipment leads to Jaques of London Ping Pong Tables, the world standard for the well-appointed recreation room or progressive workplace.
