If San Francisco is your favorite city, then snap up this CorkMap. The many streets and neighborhoods within the city limit are laser scored into the cork, all to scale at 2.5″=1 mile. Use it as a message board or as a planning tool for your next visit; either way, you’ll have plenty of room for notes, as the board measures 20″ x 18″.

Keep the time with a contemporary analogue clock. LEDs are the clock hands, with a dot moving around the circle face every second. The clock’s face automatically switches off when it’s quiet and lights up when you click your fingers or clap your hands. It has an alarm function with snooze, so it could be your new bedside clock (especially if you’re trying the no-phone-in-the-bedroom thing).

Here’s the brewer stand for you. There’s a stainless steel base, a porcelain brewer, and a heat-resistant glass server. The industrial vibe is anything but fussy, thank goodness. The inner side of the stand’s ring is edged to hold the brewer steady, and the stand’s height is easily adjustable to allow for other vessels from a mug to a bigger server. If you’d like something a little more classy, do be sure to check out the Kinto Brewer Stand in walnut/brass.

Whoa, this is one serious dustpan and brush. Made entirely of brass and horsehair, the set hangs elegantly from a magnetic peg on the wall. It’s possible that it’s the prettiest dustpan and brush we’ve ever seen- so much so that it would be a shame to hide it away in a pantry or storage closet. Also be sure to check out Gentner Design’s brass Bud Vases and miniature Watering Can.

Turn that frown upside down, unless you want to hang delicate clothes. Huh? The Mood Hook is a curved hook that you can install either way to hang your belongings. The metal shape has a silicon sleeve that’s gentle on clothing and prevents things from falling off. There’s three in each set, so you’ll be able to group them together in whatever sort of ‘mood’ you prefer in your functional wall art.

Okay, so this letter tray will be the thing that finally makes sense of the paper mess sitting on your desk. With three oak trays, you have plenty of room to sort what’s coming and going, plus an extra level for a ‘what-the-heck-do-I-do-with-this’ pile. Each tray can be pulled out and taken to another workspace when needed.

The Ada Sconce is a versatile little light, for its shade is made of two adjustable reflectors on friction hinges. This means you can move the shades around in many different ways to direct the light exactly where you wish. Fans of Charlotte Perriand might recognize a little of her CP-1 Sconce in this design, as this light was inspired by that exact design. And, another nice tidbit: the Ada sconce is named for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which dictates that sconces in hallways must not protrude from the wall more than 4”.

It’s a digital clock, so, what’s the big deal? It has a little magic up its metaphorical sleeve. When placed together, the two cubes display the time in hour/minute format. However, separate the two cubes and you automatically get the temperature and humidity. Back together, the time returns. There’s also a calendar, alarm, and stop watch function.

Three stamped metal name tags are included as labels.

You’ve told everyone in your team/family a hundred times the date of the important meeting/deadline/recital/game, yet somehow they all forget. Maybe they need an old-school message board in their faces every day to remind them? It’s worth a shot, especially as you can add funny quotes and nice messages when the mood strikes (you know, for morale).

You may recognize this flatware, as its minimalist vibe harks back to 1970. 1970? Wait, what? Wasn’t that before some of us were born? Yeah, maybe, but let’s appreciate how certain timeless designs remain relevant no matter the decade. Fun fact: Gae Aulenti was one of Italy’s most prolific architects, known for several large-scale museum projects, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Contemporary Art Gallery at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.

Have you neglected another houseplant? If you don’t have a green thumb, do yourself a favor and get a few SR Flat Plants. The “paint by numbers” style kit includes a plywood plant cutout, paints, paintbrush, reference sheet, and instructions. You’ll finally have greenery that won’t die, no matter what. The flat, cartoonish rigidity may even lend a sense of playfulness to some rooms.

Everyone loooves popcorn, but not everyone loves the pre-packaged kind with all the preservatives and other unwanted ingredients. So, make your own using the Lékué Popcorn Maker. Fill popcorn kernels to the line inside, and then pop in the microwave for a minute and a half. The suction lid will keep all your popcorn from overflowing, and simply ‘pop’ it in the dishwasher for cleaning. The silicone bowl collapses down for easy storage.
