FRIEZE NEW YORK 2013
INTERNATIONAL HOME + HOUSEWARES SHOW 2013
TOKYO DESIGN WEEK 2012
BEIJING DESIGN WEEK 2012Even though we've already said goodbyes to the aughts and welcomed in the tweens, we couldn't let the decade slip by without highlighting some of our favorite things from the last year. 2010 brought even more people together through the launch of our Community Challenges and the opening of our brick-and-mortar Portland-based store, Hand-Eye Supply (which you can shop online!). We saw the 30,000th job posted on Coroflot, ran our 10th Annual Salary Survey, and closed out the year with our 5th Annual Gift Guide. With the help of our friends, we've compiled this year's "Best Of 2010" list covering our favorite ideas, products, innovations and stories in one comprehensive post.
All of this could not have been done without our amazing group of contributors, partners, moderators, supporters, friends, family, and YOU! Here's to closing out the decade with a bang!

Thanks for sharing these. I especially love the "rolling" bookshelf and the furniture nomenclature guide. Cheers.
