This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Exotic and Modern

This week's collection of fabulous, got-to-have pieces from the newest listings of 1stdibs don't follow any sort of particular theme; we have just been in the mood for exotic/modern room combinations, and decided to choose five items that we thought fit the bill. We looked for pieces with characteristics like great textures, colorful patterns, natural materials and some great geometric stylings. We think we did a good job, if we do say so ourselves!

1) Probber Sofa
Though this Mid-Century Modern couch gives off more of a vintage-feel than a global one, you can't deny its strong and bold colors in the red and warm family give it a certain exotic flair. It's definitely a scene-stealer.
Price: contact dealer
Dealer: R. E. Steele

2) Striped Kilim
Kilim rugs and patterns in general always give off a very foreign, fabulous and exotic-feel, but this one is unique in that it comes off quite contemporary, too. Featuring a bold black and white striped pattern with pops of red accents, it would definitely bind a room together and stand out. Price: $7,950
Dealer: Double Knot

3) Exceptional Japanese Choba Dansu Office Chest
This heavy, sturdy and masculine piece is sure to bring in not only some visual stability to a space but also a different kind of exotic flair. Though it may not boast a lot of colors or textures, its strong details lead the eye to assume its fabulous origin.
Price: $6,400
Dealer: Honeychurch Antiques

4) Pair of Sheep Footstools After Lalanne
We just couldn't resist these silly/awesome footstools in the shape of sheep. Sure, their actual imagery is perfect for a modern/exotic hybrid room, but their texture is also what we love. They're pretty functional, too!
Price: $25,000
Dealer: Showplace Antique and Design Center

5) Exotic Wood Molecular Puzzle
This is another hybrid piece: it's at once vintage and Mid-Century modern, but it's natural material makes it seem exotic, and it's geometric shape makes it seem ultra modern! A perfect companion to a neat room trying to be several things at once.
Price: $1,200
Dealer: Ralph Lauren
