I could have sworn I've posted this but I couldn't find it so I'll post it again/for the first time. Available in a skull or a Koons-type rabbit motif. "L.A. designer Lee Riot laser cuts and etches Pop-art motifs in mirror-backed acrylic creating dazzling eye-catching jewelry."

I'm a big fan of the Jasper Morrison Globall Lamp, but a $500 lamp is not currently in my price range, so I bought this lamp instead. It bears a remarkable similarity to the JMG lamp except for a few key things: 1. there is no dimmer switch* 2. the stand sticks out slightly 3. the cord is transparent plastic instead of a grey fabric cord. *To get the same dimming effect, you can have the lamp re-corded and have your electrician add a dimmer. Or you can just buy a lamp dimmer. If you want the cords to match, get the grey model (TT-300NLH-GR) from Lutron (which I was unable to find online but I did find at my local Home Depot for $9.00).

I think for a while it was impossible to get MUJI products to the US (other than the few wares carried by the MOMA Shop), but after deciding that I had to have some puzzle cookie cutters, I discovered that the MUJI shop in the UK will deliver to the US. [Via MOCOLOCO]

If you're looking for a modern sofa, and if you're planning on having it for a while, I recommend the Bottoni. The size and shape are simple and sophisticated, yet the price tag doesn't knock all the wind out of your lungs. Really, when you think about all the time you spend on a sofa and how long you'll have it (years?), and consider the cost per month, it's really a steal. One of the perks of this particular sofa is that there are small blanket-type things (sold separately) that can customize the seat back if you were wanting a bit more pattern. Sofa available in Charcoal or Ecru. H 24.5" W 93" D 34"

And of course I like this light because it's designed by Mr. Wanders. I'm waiting for something he designs to come along and illicit strong feelings of dislike, but it hasn't happend yet. This Tube Light is pvc/cotton laminate with a metal frame. available in white, black, graphite and grey. 88.5"cord length. 25.6" x 7.9 "diameter

A double-sided journal to keep track of the things you need to get done and also of the things you shouldn't do again. Everybody needs reminding, right? Available in three colors: ash, black, and walnut. (4.5" x 6.5" x 0.75")

I'm not a big "scent" person. Usually artificial smells give me a bit of a headache. But this actually smells clean. It's made with Charcoal (known for its cleansing properties) and essential oils (which means the scents are real--not made in a test tube). Trust me on this one.

Classic Missoni striped knit throw made of 100% wool. I've often found that it's difficult to not match Missoni. It's almost chameleonic. 100% wool Size: 56" x 69" Color: red/fuschia/blue/yellow/brown/orange Dry clean only

If you were thinking about buying anything Herman Miller in the near future, I'd recommend purchasing before 1/1/06 because HM is mandating a price increase on many of their products. Buy it here*. *You also may want to google around to see if any retailers are having a promo code that you can take advantage of too.

This is the first time I've run across a retailer for this chandelier (I think) and I'm very excited to see it's available... "Upside-down wine glasses make up this chandelier. The stemware is meant to be used and then rehung. By selecting which glasses to hang, you design your own lamp. Different kinds of glasses cause different reflections and light patterns. If you choose all crystal glasses, it will look like a crystal chandelier. Available in 40 & 16 glass versions. Glasses, electrics, bulb not included." You can choose between a chrome or black steel finish.
