We've got a candle that smells like pasta water and a skate deck for design-heads.

Let's turn our attention to the foyer, an oft-neglected area of the home that generally serves as a dumping ground for shoes, unopened mail, and cardboard boxes that need to be broken down and taken to the recycling. Toss out any notions of what "should" be in an entryway, and open your mind to the possibility of what can be.
"Dressers don't belong in foyers!" you say, and I counter that by showing you this beautiful option from Thuma, which promises to be just as easy to assemble as their signature item, the Bed.
The Dresser
Designed to fit any space, The Dresser provides perfect placement for necessities. 100% upcycled wood, thoughtful detailing, and an innovative modular system makes for a lifetime of modern functionality and optionality.
If a foyer in your past was a repository for skateboards and Vans, but your knees are too creaky to properly land an ollie, Globe's collaboration with Eames Office will work nicely on the wall as art.
Globe Eames Silhouette Deck -Plywood Sculpture
Specialty Walnut veneer decks featuring iconic art extending the legacy of Charles and Ray Eames. The Eames Silhouette 8 in Plywood Sculpture features Full concave and is constructed from Walnut + Resin-7 Canadian maple. The top of this 8.0" walnut and Canadian maple deck features the story behind the Eames "Molded Plywood Sculpture", designed by Ray Eames, 1943. These decks are individually boxed, and include wall hangers for easy mounting.
And now, two different scent stories! First, Le Labo's latest, Ambroxyde 17, is musky, woodsy, vaguely floral, and smells both expensive and grown up.
Le Labo Ambroxyde 17
AMBROXYDE 17’s magic comes from a synthetic molecule that will blow your nose away. It’s what gives natural ambergris its arresting, can’t-quite-find-the-right-word-for-it smell, and we can’t get enough of it (the cruelty-free version, that is!). A close cousin to ANOTHER 13, AMBROXYDE 17 is ambroxyde, musks, some woods, and a few jasmine petals that come to settle on a pedestal of moss.
If you prefer your scents more on the unusual side, DS & Durga's Pasta Water candle, released in collaboration with New York Italian restaurant Jupiter, will make your home smell like Strega Nona's kitchen.

And, since this foyer is a dream foyer, it's large enough to hold this stunning couch from Sixpenny, made in collaboration with Post Company, for Inness in upstate New York.
Sixpenny & Post Company Monk Sofa
