Anne Black Tilt Porcelain Dishware

Handmade from high quality porcelain materials, this collection is really kind of fun with it’s slighty off-kilter design. The red line is a silkscreen print applied by hand, and it’s just the perfect touch.

All pieces are made with non-toxic glazes suitable for any foods and beverages and are dishwasher safe.

Tracy Recliner

Recliners are usually a dirty word with aesthetically-conscious individuals, and I am one to raise my hand and admit to being frightened when someone mentions the word. Yet, there are decent modern-ish reliners out there, and we’ll find at least one or two for all of you that have lost hope. Here’s one: the Tracy has clean lines and a very nice silhouette (trust me, go look), not to mention a very comfortable two postition recliner mechanism. Lots of other good stuff too: kiln-dried hardwood frame, top grain, semi aniline leather (that just means it’s top quality and will last a whole lot longer than something cheap). So compromise is possible- your significant other (or yourself) can finally rest in peace without sacrificing style.

contraforma interchangable carpeting

A new type of modular carpet. If the Flor tiles don’t strike your fancy here’s some interchangable carpeting with a more interesting pattern. At first when I saw this I thought it was a rug with a cheesy puzzle piece pattern. But on closer inspection I realized it was infact tessellated modular pieces which fit together in the most interesting way. Good work, contraforma!

synthetic. one piece approximately 40 x 45 cm (15.7″ x 17.7″). available in light grey, charcoal grey and sand.

LED mirror clock

Remember a while back when we posted a really cool LED mirror?

Tagalong bracelet

This bracelet requires the length to be adjusted to one’s wrist and then cut. The cut end is then to be inserted into the silver cube. A secure, permanent connection is thus made and the bracelet can only be removed by another cut.

Silver Spindle Candlesticks

With holidays fast approaching, isn’t about time to buy things like turkey platters and candlesticks? These silver-plated candlesticks will make up for lack of turkey platters and basting brushes in my book, and maybe even those finicky relatives will be distracted by the pretty candlelight on the pretty candlesticks. The silver is unlacquered, so tarnishing will occur over time…but you can polish them back to their original luster with a silver polishing cloth.

Purchase Information:

No longer available.

Log Pile by Andrew Coates

I think these are my favorite things for today. They’re die cut cork (with repositionable backing), and you arrange them however you feel like, and display your notes or photos on them. I’d like to see them spread out all over the wall, but goodness knows there’s all sorts of options. So if you get them, you’ll just have to be creative.

Box of 12 cork discs.

Grass Pillow

Light Blue and Chocolate are one of the many pleasant color combinations, and it’s certainly done right in this graphic pillow by Inhabit. The fabric is Retrosuede, which is easier to clean but still feels like suede. With several size options, it may be just what your sofa or bed needs…
