With its externally positioned light-bronze feet and outer leather shell, the Tape 2 sofa (from $10,060) from Minotti is furniture deconstructed—and yet the experiment is nothing but iconic. livingspace.com

Ikea’s blocky and asymmetrical staircase rug (officially dubbed the Kongstrup, $90) is a note-perfect graphic accent in green on blue. ikea.ca

A literal twist on convention, the Parrot ottoman (price on request) is an ice-cream-smooth modern seat that would make a statement in any home. roche-bobois.com
