Furniture brand Article’s fall style has got you covered. Since 2013, the modern designer’s mission is to bring together affordable, stylish interior goods that stand the test of time. While direct-from-manufacturer pieces will arrive at your door at minimal cost (and sans retail markup), Article aims for great aesthetics overlaying the high-quality materials that make up its furnishings.
, for example. Its generous, 90-inch width and sprawling 40 inches of depth invite deep relaxation for any body type upon fat, high resiliency, dense foam cushions. There’s nothing abstract about this sofa’s utilitarian expanse (or its accompanying throw pillows). The Kubi’s Dutch white polyester fabric meshes with most any collection — an ambience that brings to mind warm comfort during any season. Supported on a kiln-dried pine wood frame, Kubi is made to last for years of heavy use. Not a bad upgrade from your grandma’s floral-patterned couch, eh?
Match or contrast the Kubi with an
Entin
, lumbar-curved chair. A sturdy steel frame evokes the same minimalist aesthetic while the seat’s thick, comfy cushion nestles cozily into its arms. Steel legs promise durability and a lasting look while the chair’s removable cushion cover allows owners to keep their own and their guests’ behinds clean.
That spartan chic, however, won’t be complete without a table to bring the collection together. The 14 millimeter thick, solid white sealed marble
Mara
represents a heck of an option. The mid-century modern circular slab (measuring 31-and-a-half inches in diameter) sits upon three solid wood legs for a condensed punch that weaves in sync with Article’s clean lines. Perfect for bringing together various sets to provide a warm, compact atmosphere, the Mara’s classic flow mixes and matches with any style of seating.
Is it a kitchen nook that you’re looking to fill? The
Seno table
provides a compact spot for slurping on breakfast cereal in the morning, clacking away at digital work during the day and putting together intimate candlelit dinners in the evening. Also crafted with a classic mid-century modern influence in mind, the solid American oak surface sits upon four legs, tilted for firm balance and a mod mode.
To keep the farmhouse look around your Seno table,
Kissa oak dining chairs
, upholstered in full-aniline Italian-tanned leather offer a consistent tan color scheme. Supported by a powder-coated metal brace beneath, the sumptuous padded leather accommodations are perfect for leaning over the laptop or leaning back over cocktails.
To add a more modern twist,
Selka synthetic
, natural-colored chairs (wrapped around and above black-coated steel) proffer up wicker in soft, rounded curves. The open air weave keeps bodies cool, presenting that plein-air feeling during any season, indoors or out.
For dining rooms, dinner parties and meals featuring more of a crowd, the
Madera extendable dining table
is an 86- to 125-inch wide beast that can sit up to 12 comfortably. A textured oak tabletop with a brushed finish that’s split by an open center seam, the Madera gives off a craftsman air, a robust, functional piece that looks like it was both shop worked and the centerpiece of a workshop.
Homeowners can go with eight to 12 Seno or Kissa seats around the Madera for a punchy, pragmatic look, or, for a more formal setting, the Oscuro seat flaunts a garland green velvet seat over a brushed brass base that was created to be celebrated. Sold and shipped in pairs, the Oscuro fits right in around your dining table or snug at your desk.
Article aims to make the furniture buying process fun and easy, providing everyday indulgence in a streamlined package. With staff that includes engineers, journalists, painters, bikers, chefs, and reiki masters, Article staffs its team with the people it aims to furnish.

4 reasons Hacks is the best comedy on TV right now
The Max original comedy deserves all of the love it's getting and more
When Hacks took home the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2024, it might have been the first time many TV fans had heard of this incredible little gem. Starring Jean Smart as a fiery, washed-up comic who never quite fulfilled her potential, she hires a mid-20s writer (played by Hannah Einbinder) who has nowhere else to turn after her career starts going haywire. Together, the ladies form an unbreakable bond that propels them to new heights both on a personal and professional level. The show's foundation is stellar, but the execution makes it the best comedy on TV right now.
Hacks differs from other comedy series airing in the 2020s because it has new school dynamics that complement old school heart and soul. The series is a love letter to laughs, love, and strong female leads who are messy and not afraid to show it. If you aren't watching Hacks during its fourth season, what are you waiting for? These are the four reasons Hacks is the best comedy series you can watch right now.
John Cusack comes from a large family of Hollywood veterans, most notably including his big sister, Joan Cusack. The '80s lover boy of old, turned dramatic actor of late, has had quite a durable career. Those who barely know his work would consider him a type-casted actor, playing the same character over and over, or simply portraying his own persona on screen. Those who love and appreciate him, however, might consider him to be one of the best actors in the business, bringing life to every role he signs on for.
Thanks to his ethereal screen presence, Cusack was also able to become one of the more unconventional leading men in Hollywood history. As a slightly dorky boy growing up, his performances were often the ones I most latched onto. Although he's never received the kind of awards recognition that he undoubtedly deserved, there’s no denying that he has been a key player in film history, most particularly the '80s and leading up to the mid-2000s.
Like him or not, Cusack is cemented in history as a true on-screen talent. So, without any further hesitation, these are the 10 best John Cusack movies ranked from least to best.
The first trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer proves that no franchise is truly dead
Almost 30 years after the original, we're following a new group of hunted teens.
If you were one of those people who was wondering when we might get a third I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, then you're in luck. The first trailer for the new film is here, and it features Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the first two films in the franchise.
The film, which is somewhat confusingly called I Know What You Did Last Summer, was directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and will serve as a direct sequel to the original 1997 film. In that film, a group of friends are hunted by a killer with a hooked hand one year after they killed someone in a hit-and-run accident.
