The online rag Interior Design recently announced its favorite work from 2008. The designs are practical, modern and easy on the eyes. Granted, there were thousands of new, important design-oriented products assembled last year, but the ones listed here–at least to us–seem to be both–and this is a compliment–somewhat common and unique.

To our tastes, these are crucial elements. Sure, it’s cool to see a brand-spanking new product, designed like nothing has ever been designed before. But show us a chair that’s going to change the way we feel about sitting all day, or a table that makes us want to spread all of our important papers (if we still have anything on paper), or a rug that’s as rugged as it is sophisticated, and we’ll be happier for it. Here’s few to give a sense of what we mean.

Conference Furniture: T-NO.1-Fritz Hansen

Conference & Task Seating: Kron USA - Dana

Rug: Ruckstuhl - Legno-Legno 236
