U-LINE, America’s IKEA

The U-LINE catalog is dripping with international modernist design. Just look at this timeless stuff. Take the BUNN coffee maker for example, you see these everywhere, cafes, offices, hotel lobbies, the mechanic’s shop. It was designed 40 years ago in Illinois by the company that invented commercial drip coffee makers.

I would love to walk into an office that was furnished by U-LINE. Fixtures, metal stools, big desks, wire shelves. I’m serious. How long until they have a home/office catalog come out to rival IKEA?

  1. Colleen,

    I’ll give you the next U-line catalog that we get in the mail at the office. I had no idea I should delve into it!

  2. Colleen,

    I was looking for some checker board tape the other day…

  3. Amy,

    Oh, I get one at home!
