A classic comes back ... Hans Wegner's 1951 Sawbuck chair joins the stable of revived midcentury modern classics at Room & Board.
The chair, manufactured in Denmark by Carl Hansen & Son, is re-created in natural oak and laminated walnut. The Wegner-Hansen association dates to 1949; the Sawbuck joins other repros of the designer's seating: the shell, easy, ladderback and wing chairs. $2,550, Room & Board. 7010 France Av. S., Edina, 952-927-8835; www.roomandboard.com.

... and a newbie arrives Recognizable to soap opera fans as the irrepressible Felicia Gallant from "Another World," actress Linda Dano has introduced the Linda Dano Home Collection for 24-hour cable retailer QVC.
The pieces include everything from storage solutions -- trunks, stacking trays -- to bed linens, wall art and prints, all inspired, QVC says, by items from her restored 18th-century farmhouse and "English country estates." One item likely to raise the eyebrows of old-money English (and the rest of us): a fake and almost flat "front" to stand on a shelf and imitate 17 gilt-bound volumes of "old world literature."
Prices range from about $10 for four decorator tassels, to $23 for a faux leather wine carrier, to about $75 for a king-size paisley duvet cover and shams. See the collection at www.qvc.com or call
1-800-345-1515.
