Tube Coffee Set

I love the look of matte ceramic.

“Designed by the boys at Vast Design in Greece, fired in Portugal where artisans have been producing hard-wearing ceramics from the local clay for hundreds of years, this set (coffee pot, milk jug and sugar) sits on a wooden base (indentations keep the pieces secure). Careful attention to details of form and proportion give the set a stylish retro/modern feel. Available in matte white or black”

M5 Table

I love the strong graphic lines of this particular table, and the fact that it ships flat and is easy to assemble is a definite plus.

“Inspired by a bridge that spans England’s M5 motorway, Frank’s table is elegant and strong, and unlike most bridges, easy to manufacture and construct. Made from just three sections, the table top and two plug-in leg units assemble in mere seconds.”

Record Cuff Bracelet

This particular bracelet is suprisingly simple and modern in its execution, which is all the more impressive considering the material it’s made from.

“Made by designer Jeff Davis, the record cuff is the result of smart design combined with his commitment to give new life to cast-off albums. Rescued from landfills, yesterday’s top 40 hits are recycled into this sleek vinyl and rhodium-plated brass bracelet.”

Made in Brooklyn.

Dramatic, indeed. At 30″ diameter, this baby will eat up that space above your dining table and make a statement with no problem at all.

“Way dramatic overscaled crisp white linen taper suspends a clean modern glow to dine by. 15′ plug-in cord works with high loft ceilings.”

This may be the loveliest tape measure ever, and considering tape measures aren’t meant to look lovely, that is something notable. Talk about an excellent little gift for someone…

Made of rip-stop nylon that simply will not tear
Handle fabric doubled for comfort
Designed to fit over supermarket checkout frames
