Hive

If calling something "modernist" has become a backhanded compliment in the design world, than no one told Hive. The store celebrates modernism in all its glory. Here, modern design is as its best, with piece after piece that show what can happen when basic items in our home are rethought and recast. More importantly, the pieces at Hive aren't cold museum pieces to be gawked at, but will function in any modernly-decorated home. The prices of most of the furniture pieces make them items we would aspire to rather than run out and buy, but we found some solace in the lighting and accessories. Here, you can add a bold dash of modern brilliance to your home for prices that won't (completely) break the bank.
