I was looking for a new coffee table for the lounge and a clock for the kitchen late last night, and actually gave up..

Does anyone have any suggestions for a website which just sells well designed, higher-end products?

I did indeed. It's so easy when you know what you want. 😛

However, when you've no clear idea about what you want, you end up sinking into a large vat of web-custard and sinking without a trace..

Well tonight I knew what we wanted (needed is another question) and so click click went the mouse / mice / shears !

John Lewis <johnlewis.com>  are now selling some high end furniture like original Eames chairs for circa £5k.

On the other hand check out some of their own furniture: we bought a set of walnut dining chairs for about £40 each that turned out to be exact copies of Arne Jacobsen originals (made famous by Christine Keeler sitting astride an early copy (!)) The same chairs were being sold by Habitat for around £360 each when I last looked-  but maybe by Fritz Hansen who was the original manufacturer.

My choice....but probably not what Mrs Lee is gunning for.
