Bamboo Bottle -- $ 25.00| Buy it here
Finally, someone created a glass reusable water bottle that’s designed properly and looks awesome too. Other alternatives I’ve seen get pretty close, but I feel like this design certainly nails it. Besides the bamboo sleeve adding quite a bit of style, it fully protects the glass interior. Glass provides an always guaranteed safe drink and can accommodate hot or cold beverages. The parts of the bottle easily disassemble for cleaning and are dishwasher safe, except for the bamboo sleeve.

This wardrobe by Alice Rosignoli is made from 20 wood hangers and black ropes, which, let’s face it, is pretty ho-hum as far as materials. Surprisingly though, the simple design makes the most of a rather small area. If you’ve got a serious shortage of closet space, you might just consider a solution as uncomplicated as this.
