Sometimes it feels like learning how to knit, making some kind of pathetic rhombus-shaped washcloth and then giving up entirely is a universal experience. But, obviously, there are talented fibre artists doing the good work for all of us less-yarn-inclined folks.

Weisbrich's work is all about the natural: in fact, most of the yarns they use arent dyed. But that doesn't mean that the designs are plainchevron patterns, stripes and ombré geometry are expertly woven into these gorgeous, cozy goods. Alyssa Hirose, assistant editor

Rove Concepts Angelo bed ($2,749) is a lesson in understated luxury: the upholstery-wrapped headboard is made of three massive framed panels, but the monochrome palette keeps it from being too showy. Would it be cliché to say that this is where the magic happens? roveconcepts.com
