I am quite taken with the shape of this vase.

“Munro creates a vase that’s both organic and industrial in feel. During the firing process, each ceramic vase is placed in a kiln of burning wood. When the wood touches the surface, it creates unique patterns and subtle colorations, so no two are exactly alike.”

Hand-wash only.
8.75h x 7.5w x 3″ diam
Designed by Keith Munro.

Sometimes an oval says it better than a square. Huh? That doesn’t make much sense, does it? I think my point is that I like the idea of an oval blank card instead of the traditional square/rectangle.

Flat cards measure H 5.5″ x W 6.5″
All flat cards are blank on both sides.

Available in: cherry trimmed notes w/ light blue envelopes, and light blue trimmed notes w/ olive envelopes.

This is a nice little simple chair.

16.5″ x 21.25″d x 28.75″h SH: 17.75″

If you’re looking for a chair with subtle worsted wool upholstery, the Ray chair is a good option and on sale. Also available in grey.

I really like the tufting on this sofa.

From the studio of Joe Columbo (currently being run by Ignazia Favata) comes the Spinny Cabinet which rotates around a central spine. Also available is a wall mounted version. I am pretty excited about that one. I think it would not only be visually stunning but also think of how convenient it would be.

The Poe Radio (Philippe Starck, 1997) is going out of production. So if you’re wanting one of these in ivory you better snap it up pronto.

I can’t count the number of times I wish I had one of these. Especially at airports when there’s three televisions all within a 15 foot radius each on different channels…drives me crazy. This little remote will turn off virutally any television within a 20 to 50 foot range, all with a press of a button. Of course, your magic powers could cause some upset, but I think sometimes a break from all the TV noise is a very, very good thing.

May take up to 69 seconds for the television to turn off (90% of televisions should turn off within 17 seconds).

1.92″ x 2.27″ x .675″

Not bad for the price, and ‘recycled leather’ has a very nice ring to it (if you’re into the earth-friendly/conscious thing, which you should be).

Lookit! It’s an end table and a light all in one. The small inner square contains the bulb and the cord/socket is at the bottom of the inner square. It’s a nice size too.

White/Clear or Red/Clear

15.75″w x15.75″d x 19.75″h

I’ve seen this somewhere before, don’t remember exactly where, but I do remember thinking it’s a fantastic idea. Why hasn’t somebody thought of this before? With this candle, the matches are right where you need them.

A long, long time ago I think I posted some vases just like this but in a different shape. I think I might like the shape of this one ever so slightly more.

“Fun, sculptural shape with a delightful surprise: each piece is made from pages and pages of bookbound, recycled newspaper. The paper has been fanned around a recycled aluminum vase insert to create a form that is soft and pleasing to the touch. The insert is removable to allow for easy filling and cleaning.”

If you’ve been wanting one of these, now’s your chance. It’s now 60% off.

“The Bedside Saddle provides convenient space to keep important bedside items such as eyeglasses, a water bottle, books and magazines at your fingertips while relaxing or working in bed. Made of heathered wool in rich colors with a soft hand. Saddle tucks under the mattress and hangs flat against the bed to create reachable storage.”

Dry clean. Free shipping. Made in the U.S.A. of imported heathered wool.

Art Lebedev Studio is the largest design company in Russia, and it has a storehouse of some pretty great ideas. One of them is this mouse, which despite it’s shape it’s still pretty ergonomic.

Also something you should check out is the Optimus-Mini ($100, available May 15.)

Currently taking pre-orders.

Ever since I’ve been completely unable to track down the Tobias Wong Screen Saver that I ordered and never received, I must admit that I’m getting a little obsessed with Tobias Wong. Maybe it created this (false?) sense of urgency for his designs. So anyway, I’m sure you’ve seen this around but now I feel compelled to post it just incase they evaporate too. Get em while they’re hot!
