San Francisco Neighborhood Plate Set -- $ 60.00| Buy it here
If San Francisco is near and dear to your heart, maybe you’ll like this plate set. Or, maybe you just like the geometry and web-like look of city maps. Interestingly enough, Cherry Chaicharn, the designer, is a former Bay Area city planner, so you know her heart (or her work) is behind the design of these subtle grey-on-white patterns. The set features maps of South of Market, North Beach, Glen Park/Noe Valley and Castro/Mission. And, get this, apparently there’s other cities (Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc..) to follow.
Set of four (one each of four designs).
Designed by Cherry Chaicharn, of August Table (more pics here)
7.5″ diameter each

Ooma Bowl -- $ 25.00| Buy it here
Yeah, how much do you want this? Because this is the sort of thing that once you have, you’ll wonder how you managed without it, unless you always-always-always sit at a table to eat, of course (in which case, this might change your life). The double chambers allow two types of food to be balanced ‘ergonomically’ while eating without a table. What part of that isn’t great? Less mess fumbling around with your food is always a good thing, no doubt about it.
Designed by Thomas Both

Blue Mormor Dinnerware by Normann Copenhagen -- $ 17.75| Buy it here
Using textiles as inspiration, this collection of dinnerware by Gry Fager was influenced by “the atmosphere and the character of the kitchen, particularly older kitchens from [her] grandmother’s time.”(-normann-copenhagen)
The Mormor series is made for the modern kitchen and dining table using ceramics as its point of departure, and it definitely applies to the traditional kitchen. Not only that, structures and patterns along with familiar kitchen items such as cloths and dishcloths are contained in the visual expression of this series.
Designer: Gry Fager

Twisk™ -- $ 15.50| Buy it here
By squeezing the handle, the whisk head rotates… hmm, looks like it might be an improvement to the traditional whisk, but it’s the sort of thing you have to actually try to see if it works well. No endorsements by users on retailer’s site yet, so we’ll wait and see.
Give your wrist a rest with the amazing, inventive power of the Twisk™! The unique design of this mechanical whisk makes whisking light liquids faster and easier. Using one hand to squeeze the handle, the whisk head rotates to create the perfect peak on your egg whites – leaving your free hand to grip the bowl. Due to its sleek shape, Twisk™ is also perfect to use as a conventional whisk for thicker liquids and batters.
Dishwasher safe.
$15.50, Buy it here.
