Finely crafted
The Cameron Sideboard (price upon request), like all of the Bespoke Design collection, was inspired by turn-of-the-century British furnishings and made by skilled local craftsmen using period techniques. Available at JAGR Projects, 210 W. Rittenhouse Square, Suite 310 and jagrprojects.com.

Technically drawn
Sara Selepouchin of "girls can tell" draws diagrams, then screenprints them onto textiles to create nerdy chic accessories like these industrial felt Super Cozy Teapot Coasters ($16 for set of four). Available at http://shop.girlscantell.com.

Bowled over
The Mini Hibiscus Bowl ($38) is a smaller version of one of the most popular designs made and sold at Hudson Beach Glass, the Old City glassblowing studio and school at 26 S. Strawberry St.

Cut and dry
Two laser-cut sheets of steel bisect, then bend and lock into place to make the Origami Side Table by MIO Culture ($185). Available at mioculture.com.

Treasures from trash
Husband-and-wife team Peg & Awl made these Mugshot Bookends ($75) with oak from old shipping crates. Available at etsy.com/shop/PegandAwl.
