The Emeco Swivel and Tilt Office Chair was designed with Navy Engineers in the 1940’s and was used on Navy ships – sustaining salty air and taking hits without a scratch. Fortunate for us, it is still being made. Beyond containing fire-retardant foam padding (Navy engineers expected some incoming fire), it features thermal-treated brushed aluminum, and standard tension and height adjustment. Put this at your desk, if you’re looking for something a bit less austere than POTUS’s chair. $895.

Whether you are in the arctic or Death Valley, the Fanimation Ceiling Fan will bring art, style and circulation to your home. It has reversible airflow allowing you to bring the warm air down or raise the cool air. Accommodates ceiling slopes as well if needed. $1,240.
