CD+5 - 3StepArt

Charlie Tyke turned 2/90 Sign Systems into a major supplier of architectural signage. He's now semiretired, but he's not just golfing. His entrepreneurial spirit and his passion for art combined to spark this new company. Its cornerstone offering is 3StepArt, a name that describes the specification procedure: Select one of a dozen abstract compositions signed and dated by the artist, then a size from 1 foot square to 5 by 10 feet, then a color scheme. (Or consider commissioning your own masterpiece in the dimensions of your choice.) Pieces in the inaugural collection are digitally printed in VOC-free, ultraviolet-cured ink on expanded PVC. Exposed relief detail and fi nished sides make framing optional. 616-656-4350; 3stepart.com.

Magnuson Group - Sotare

These are recycling receptacles you won't mind displaying. QDesign's Sotare line, constructed of powdercoated steel, comes in four styles-a 34-gallon half-elliptical unit (with either one or two top openings) and a left- and a right-sided 14-gallon quarter elliptical unit-with possibilities for creative configurations. In addition to the anodized-aluminum finish here, they're made in bronze metallic, dark anthracite, and lunar white. Your garbage never looked so good. 800-342-5725; magnusongroup.com.

Seves Glassblock - Glass Blocks

The word "dogged" could be used to describe the research Seves does on glass blocks; the company's choice is "incessant." Either way, Seves is clearly on a mission to improve the aesthetics and technology of its signature product. This year it debuted Glass Blocks, which not only feature three-dimensional surfaces and a strong color palette but are also more energy efficient. 39-55-44-951; sevesglassblock.com.

Du Verre the Hardware Co. - Series 3

The devil is often in the details-but in this case, thankfully, Scot Laughton is. The award-winning industrial designer applied his keen aesthetic to the creation of the Series 3 hardware collection. This suite of slender, shapely knobs and pulls, made from recycled aluminum, is offered in four sizes and four handsome finishes. 415-593-0182; duverre.com.

Richter USA - Acoustic-Lightboard

When is a photograph more than just a photograph? When it also absorbs sound. Richter's innovation allows any image to be printed on ½- or ¾-inch-thick Acoustic-Lightboard, which in turn helps minimize noise (to the tune of a 0.85 NRC). Talk about multitasking. 888-872-4780; richter-veneertechnology.com.

Gallotti & Radice - Air Unit

Pinuccio Borgonovo may dream of floating on air, but he's content to settle for glass. His Air Unit is a modular system of wood components clad in painted glass and offered in bright or satin versions of white, off-white, dark gray, black, sand, and plum. Held aloft by clear panels of tempered glass and available with doors or drawers, the standard 18-inch-deep unit comes in two sizes: 36 by 20 inches and 47 by 20 inches. Combine them to create credenza-like configurations of nearly any length. Through M2L, 212-832-8222; m2l.com.

3form - PaperCut

When 3form states it has plans to send zero waste to landfill, the company walks the walk. How will this noble goal be accomplished? One answer is in-literally-PaperCut. Sealed within the translucent Varia Ecoresin panel is a layer of sliced pages from the manufacturer's catalog overruns. The helter-skelter arrangement of colorful strips gives each sheet a festive, confetti-ish look. 801-649-2500; 3-form.com.
