Many of fans are on the lookout for vintage pieces rather than buying new, said Ostroff. Finding good ones, though, isn’t exactly easy. Why It Matters: In the past decade, the amount of second-hand furniture websites and independent resellers have multiplied. If you look hard enough, you can strike lucky. But when you’re not buying from a trusted retailer – it’s difficult to legitimize what you’re spending your money on. In the case of Eames furniture in particular, it can be a minefield, so the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity has launched “An Eames of Your Own” – a detailed guide to buying and collecting the Eames furniture and Ostroff shares some key pointers with us.

In celebration of the series’ 15th year, we’ve rounded up some of the best concerts – 11, because we couldn’t pick just 10 from Miguel to Mac Miller and Tyler, the Creator to T-Pain. Why It Matters: Stemming from every realm and intersection of the music industry – from John Legend and Juvenile to Wu-Tang Clan and Paramore – Tiny Desk has upped its game in the last few years, seeing artists customize the space’s set-up and lighting, but the most notable change involves the support that artists bring along. Musicians arrive at Boilen’s desk equipped with full musical support – whether it be a string ensemble, complementary background vocalists, or a fully-stocked band. It’s only here that fans are privy to Usher‘s “Confessions Part II” complete with horns, Black Coffee performing a DJ set live with a slew of percussionists, and everything in between.
