Update: Two of these three wire baskets by Patricia Urquiola are now more than half off, which means you just might be able to afford one or two. Each basket is made from a single module of wire which is repeated 15 times and intertwined to create the shape. If you'd like some height, keep in mind that the Wire Centerpiece can be stacked on top of the Citrus Basket. Made ...Read more

Two small but important details: it has a silicone base to make removing any wax easy (simply bend the base) and a hole at the bottom to let in air to reduce sooting. Use the handle to suspend from trees or do without for a simpler look on tables and floors. ...Read more

Update: Remember this guy? MoMA has it in stock again, with a slight modification to its branding (now it says 'MoMA Triangle Notebook'). I'm not quite sure how a triangular shape notebook would benefit those of us that like notebooks, other than for novelty's sake, but maybe that's reason enough. (For example, I thought I'd skip posting this, but I kept coming back to it.) This notebook belongs to MoMA's ...Read more

Do you know just how many croquet sets are available online? Hundreds, to say the least. I've no idea which set is the best to steer you towards, but I do like the look of the ones from The North Meadow. The Rockport 4 Player Set is $124, while the Scottsdale 6 Player Croquet Set is $185. Not inexpensive, but if you're looking something that will last, they'll most likely be better than the ...Read more

Comes with full instructions and guarantee....Read more

Now, don't get too excited, this isn't the sort of thing you'd carry around in your pocket. It's a bit big for that, unless you've huge pockets, and it's probably more suited for your bag than carrying it around in its nylon carrying case on your belt loop (or maybe you can pull that look off, who knows). The Multi-Tool has "a hammer, adjustable wrench, pliers, wire cutter, file, blades, ...Read more

It's a cork tray. You might think it's a little ho-hum/boring, but I'd wager a guess it would be entirely useful when it comes to shuttling things back and forth from the kitchen to table (or sofa, if that's your preferred spot). Cork is renewable and recyclable, as you know, but the main function here is that it would keep your cups of tea/biscuits/etc. from sliding around ...Read more

Perhaps the pared down storage will encourage you to tailor your office supplies to only the most necessary? This small-space solution “is really a writing ...Read more
