Analogue Click Clock
Written by Katie on March 22, 2018. Permalink
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). Designed by Gingko Electronics...Read more
Kinto Brewer Stand Set SS
Written by Katie on March 21, 2018. Permalink
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...Read more

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...Read more

Soft Edge 70 Stool
Written by Katie on March 15, 2018. Permalink
Iskos-Berlin’s Soft Edge Stool for HAY may look like a simple seating option, and it is, but you'd do well to notice the ultra-thin, soft-formed seat, and how its edges bend away from the body to optimize comfort. The skinny steel legs are functional, yet they add to the stool's sense of lightness. Might it be a good place to perch, tucked beneath a small writing desk, or arranged around...Read more
