I rarely open a bottle of wine without finishing it, but that's because I've got someone with a hollow leg to share it with me. However, a nice bottle of wine sometimes deserves to be enjoyed over a few nights, and this Wine Preserver Bottle will provide an air tight seal to lock in flavors for up to a week. After you pour in your wine, you drop the float...Read more

Standing is better than sitting, blah, blah, blah… you've heard all about it, but you're not about to change out your favorite desk for some kind of wonky contraption that screws up your whole nicely-designed-house/office vibe. Plus, you work from lots of different places, so it might not even make much of a difference anyways. Am I right? Well, that's just where the Plunk Desk fits in. It's a portable,...Read more

Just for fun, let's take a look at the DISH Plate Series by the Patella Brothers. Each trompe l'oei design has a strange sort of narrative, and for that very reason I think most of us would vote to hang these plates on the wall as art rather than use them day in and day out. However, if you'd like your food to be presented alongside insects and other odd...Read more

I spy with my little eye two shipping containers. Can you see them? There are two, each one offset with the other with a raised ceiling area in between. It's more proof that container building can be done well, and there's no need to sacrifice spaciousness if you keep your roof situation creative. Take a look at the photo below to get an idea of the outside, or visit PSP...Read more

Here's another piece to add to your 'when-I-have-an-extra-$4500-to-spend' list. This chest from Atlantico (aka De La Espada) smacks of high quality, from the solid planks of wood that make its top, base, panels, and sides all the way down to its lovely slender legs. Mortise and tenon joints plus dovetail joinery tick off two other quality points, and rest assured that attention to detail means seamless connections. Choose between American...Read more

A quick framing job is just what your drawings need, because, let's face it, you're not a famous artist (yet). I'd suggest scattering a few of these around the house for friends and family to play Picasso and possibly leave you some excellent little cartoons that you'll cherish for years... or throw away as soon as they leave the room, it's up to you. Spiral-bound sketchbook with an integrated cardboard...Read more

The well known Eero Aarnio designed this three-legged stool in 1995, and, as you can tell, it hints at his other work with its rounded ("plump") seat and legs. Interestingly enough, the Rocket was originally designed for Eero Aarnio's own kitchen, though it'd do just as well in other rooms. The solid wood stool is available in oak wood painted white, black or soaped, and in two different sizes, Rocket...Read more

It's a speaker, handset, and speakerphone. Listen to music while on the go and receive calls without digging around in your bag for your phone. You can even daisy-chain up to 10 Monocles together to...Read more

Trivets aren't necessarily exciting, are they? Charged with the task of protecting our tabletops, they're meant to be covered up with pots and dishes with little thought to their aesthetic value. However, this walnut trivet does a neat trick of extending from a small area to a rather long length, allowing it to fit your feast from one dish to several. It looks like a stack of chopsticks when closed,...Read more

Just as they announced in a previous edition of their magazine, Dwell now has an online store. Now I shall go find my wallet, because I need to hide it and then hit myself over the head in hopes of memory loss. This Simple Machines Round Table stood out on first perusal, as the legs appear to screw into the top and has a clean, simple appearance. The companion Square...Read more

Oh, those pesky cords, sometimes you just want to throw them in the garbage bin. Well, now you can, except it's not garbage bin, but a CableBin. Huh?
