No matter what you’ve thought of air purifiers before, you’re sure to admit this one is relatively nice-looking. It seems to have excellent marks in doing the job, and plus, aren’t you curious to see what’s in the air of your home (causing allergies, health issues, etc.)?

“Removing all aspects of nerd-factor, the IonFlow 50F Air Purifier is an energy-efficient and quiet machine that’s been proven to remove more than 99% of airborne pollutants in fewer than five hours and without producing any ozone…As a room is cleared of dust, smoke, pet dander, bacteria, mold and other allergens, these pollutants will collect on the outside of the unit’s aluminum ring. When you see it needs to be cleaned, turn off the unit and quickly wipe the ring clean.”

Aluminum; handmade acrylic stand.

If you like our feathered friends, you might also like this lovely glass bird feeder. Very simple and elegant (as far as birdfeeders go), this looks like it would blend in nicely with any outdoor environment.

“This bird feeder is made from mouth-blown glass and designed to withstand wind, weather and beating wings. The ball can easily be suspended from bushes, trees and the eaves of your house – and filling it with seed and other natural products is extremely straightforward.”

A charging station that actually looks good? For real, it’s true. Stations that house and charge our electronic appendages cut down on many unsightly cords that get tangled easily, and makes it ever so much easier to find the phone, camera, ipod, etc. So, hurray for one that does no harm to your aesthetic environment.

“You can corral up to three items and neatly tuck a 10” power strip out of sight behind the sliding door. No room on your desktop for the 13″ long Charging Station? You can also mount it to the wall as easily as a clock with two dry wall screws (included).”

Available in black or navy.

I know, I know, guns aren’t considered the most neutral of topics, but I do like them in earring form.

“These earrings are toy versions of the AK47, a rather famous automatic rifle. Swords to ploughshares? Ironic comment on gun culture? Self defence for earlobes? You decide….”

The Lismer Stool has a very casual modern feel to it.

Solid oak construction.

“Hella Jongerius turns imperfections into ideals with the B-set dinner service. Each piece is fired in an overheated kiln to slightly warp the porcelain into uniquely distorted shapes. The result is a curiously charming dinner-set, unified by its consistent inconsistencies.
The porcelain and glaze recipes used are stamped on the side of each item as a tribute to the ceramics recipe culture.”

It’s hard to avoid thinking about Robert Palmer songs while discussing a love patch, but I’ll try to refrain.

While you might not have the disposable income to afford these pieces, you might know someone that does, and that someone might be less grumpy during teatime if they owned one or two of these to hold their snacks.

“With experimental forms and avant-garde design, these progressive and playful pieces are sure to inspire an afternoon of tea and delectable goodies. As the designer herself describes, ‘My products become characters, like individual things that seem to live their own life. They have their own identity and personality. Sometimes they seem to come from a fairytale-world. Products making us feel like being in a different world.'”

Unglazed porcelain on the outside, glazed inside.

Constructed of silver lacquered aluminum and warm walnut veneers, the bedside table offers an ample surface for books, eyeglasses, clock radio or remote. The sides and back are wrapped in a sheath of aluminum, with the side panels rising above the tabletop to form a practical as well as elegant lip. Mirroring the bedÂ’s aesthetic, each corner of the Min Bedside Table is rounded and flawlessly smooth. A single drawer provides concealed storage for valuables, while a deep bottom shelf adds additional cargo space for an array of books, magazines or personal effects.
