Check it out- the stopper of this carafe can be nested underneath for use as a vase. Smart.
The generous round form of this mouthblown carafe/vase combined with the transparency and sheerness of the glass creates a timeless piece. The colored round crystal ball doubles as a top and a tactile magic ball. Place it on the top of the carafe as a seal or let it playfully peep out from its nest at the bottom of the vase adding a vibrant touch of color. The ball has a cut (grinded)surface, which stops it from rolling.
Available in Black, Amethyst, and Clear

Two new(?) items from Muuto that I’m particularly liking are this vase and carafe.
Closely Separated Vase: (also available in yellow, 10.6″ h), $162.00,
Buy it here.
by Michael Geertsen for Muuto
Abstract bowls, plates and cups are merged in an intuitive way. Reminding us of the beauty in disharmony and how old things can lead to new, if we change our perspective. The object works on its own, but is given a function if flowers are added.
I’m Boo Carafe: (3.39″ dia. x 10.8″ h), $94.00, Buy it here.
by Norway Says for Muuto
Boo is like the skin, or a balloon surrounding the water with openings that tell the simple story of fluid motion in and out of the glass. The carafe exudes a strong personality, as if it’s saying “I’m Boo, who are you?”

For those of you with all sorts of clutter on your nightstand, this could be just the thing to keep books and such within reach but semi-out-of-sight.

This seems a little on the high side of the price range you would normally expect for a laundry hamper, but if you look at it every day, it might be worth paying a little more for the aesthetic value. (The red is especially nice, though it looks like that color might not be available- such a shame.)
“Marie Pi, expanding laundry hamper, light wood stand with natural fabric.”
Colors: Natural Fabric and Light Wood

Carafes are everywhere, but this is one of the few I’ve seen that has a wood stopper that seems to fit perfectly.

I certainly enjoy having a sip of water in the middle of the night, especially when you can be sure there isn’t anything you didn’t invite floating around… A bit on the pricey side, but a great design, perfect for a guest room nightstand.

This tray is perfect for a little breakfast-in-bed or email on the sofa.
