Pill and Cobra Yoga Mats -- $ 95.00| Buy it here
Yoga. Stretching…breathing…relaxing… and PILLS! And cobras! Aghh! Just the sort of thing to make your yoga practice… um, strange. If you want that. (I can see the cobra working, because there’s a yoga position called the cobra, but not sure how I feel about pills on a bathroom floor, you know?)
Pill Yoga Mat, $95.00
Cobra Yoga Mat, $95.00
I still like the first Plank mats: Wood Plank (with muffin!) and Shag.

Hairglasses -- $ 15.00| Buy it here
Do you know what a katyusha is? Wikipedia says it’s a Russian wartime song, a rocket launcher (named after the song), and also a Russian pro cycling team. What wikipedia doesn’t say is that it’s also the frilly headband that maids wear, which makes a heck of a lot more sense as inspiration for these Hairglasses. Still confused? It’s a headband that looks like sunglasses. See more photos at Sam Hecht’s Industrial Facility website.

Handi Sleeve -- $ 5.00| Buy it here
No need for those cardboard sleeves with these colorful handles. Of course, you’d have to carry it around with you, but hey, who said being eco-conscious was easy? And maybe having an actual handle will help you get a better grip to avoid mishaps/spillage.

Newspaper print laptop bag -- £ 120.00
| Buy it here
If you read your news online, this laptop bag might be a good way to give tradition a nod while camouflaging your laptop. Designed to look like a newspaper folded in half, it’s fully lined in black satin so it’ll keep your laptop nicely protected. It’s maybe a bit more expensive than a plan ol’ laptop case, but good tech ‘fashion’ is hardly ever cheap.
By mitemite
Each newspaper print is unique to each bag.
(for Macbook Pro)
Also available through mitemite’s online shop for € 60.

Green Boy -- $ 10.00| Buy it here
Cute. While Green Boy does a great job of organizing that jangling mess of keys you have, to me, it seems like he’s being quite assertive and telling me to remember to keep work and home life separate. Funny how a piece of green plastic could have so much emotion.
Designer: Vadim Kibardi

ZipShot Tripod -- $ 49.95| Buy it here | [via Uncrate]
Wow, you’re going to have to watch the video here to understand how awesome this tripod is. In a matter of seconds the legs spring out to a full standing tripod. The compromise for the added convenience is that the legs are not individually adjustable. Certainly not for the serious photographer crowd, but should work well for everyone else. Now how long does it take to refold it? Hmm…
Specifications:
11 oz. (312g).
Folded Size: 15” (38cm) when
Standing Size: 44” (112cm) tall.
Material: Heavy-duty, metal ball-head with strong aluminum legs.
Max Weight Load: 3 lbs (1361g).
