Sniff Design Studio serves a unique niche market: What began as a love for both animals and design eventually grew into a full-service graphic design studio with animal clients. Well, not the animals themselves, but the industries that make the lives of pets, wildlife and other creatures better. Sniff has even started selling its own kingdom of animal-themed postcards. And to keep the environment pet-friendly, Sniff donates a portion of its profits to animal rescue programs nationwide. It's a business model, says the studio's website: "We want you to know that we believe in action, not just barking."

Traci Fleming and Kaye Popofsky Kramer founded Nurseryworks to provide a serene environment perfect for baby's first room ... yet able to blend seamlessly into modernist homes. But they also wanted to create nursery goods that would still be attractive and stimulating for babies. The bright colors and bold patterns of their smart furniture, bedding and rugs should suit both purposes. Gorgeous textile patterns made in partnership with Twenty 2 will have you gazing enviously towards the crib, while an amazing (and pricey) bent plywood Goodnight Glider, designed by Truck Product Architecture, gives new meaning to the word "rock."
