On the side

They say you can't buy good taste. Well, they haven't been to the South End's On the Side, the retail collaboration of two local design firms. In the small, spare space, where Boxx Furniture's streamlined tables and seating (right) mingle with stylish, neutral-palette Simplemente Blanco linens and other home accessories, good taste is the only thing you can buy.
