DIMORESTUDIO Rugs

‘Price upon request’ is never a good thing to see when you’re on a tight budget, so let’s just all pretend that we can afford these bold and colorful rugs from DIMORESTUDIO. Feast your eyes upon the graphic blocks of color, in strange, non-rectangular shapes that will definitely set an edgy vibe in any room. I’d be tempted to hang them on the wall, as they feel more like art pieces than something to trod upon.

Ooh La La Fruit Bowl

Ignore the name, but pay attention to how this bowl is made of three rectangular pieces of magnetized oak. The pieces fit together like a puzzle, which allows you to separate and stack them to hide the bowl away in a cabinet or cupboard. Smart!

Polygons Flat 4-in-1 Measuring Spoon

Polygons is an origami-like measuring spoon that lays completely flat; how you pick it up determines which spoon size you’ll get. Pretty smart, right? Premarked areas show you where to grasp to get the right measurement, making it easy to switch between volumes while cooking or baking. Use the Polygons to scoop and spread, and know that clean up is quick and unfussy. Now, who wants one of these for their kitchen? Back the project over at Kickstarter.

Dymaxion Folding Globe

You may be familiar with Buckminster Fuller’s 1946 patented a map of Earth, as it presents no visible distortion of the relative sizes of land masses. Designer Brendan Ravenhill has taken Fuller’s projection (and architect Shoji Sadao’s hand drawn 1954 Dymaxion Projection) and turned it into a magnetic folding globe, which means we all have something to do with our hands next time we’re waiting for a brainstorming session to strike. Fold it into a geometric globe or unfold it to see our planet flattened out.

Maple Raised Chopping Block

Short on counter space? The Maple Raised Chopping Block is just for you, as it creates space underneath for placing knives or other accoutrements. Quality craftsmanship takes it straight to the table for food presentation, as the sliding dovetail joints are cut with such precision that no glue is required. It’s equally suited for camping, as the legs keep the board off the ground and the surface is long grain (instead of the usual end grain) to keep the board light and packable.

Snowe Bath Towels

If you need to refresh your bath towels, you need to look at Snowe’s offerings. I ended up buying their Starter Bathe Bundle last year* and I can honestly say they’re the nicest towels I’ve ever owned. They’re soft and lightweight, and soo much better than the top-of-the-line towels I used to buy from you know where. I am still impressed with the quality, so much so that I ended up buying another towel bundle (plus two bath sheets) from them just now**.

Boob Hook

If you don’t mind a little humor in your home furnishings, take a look at the Boob Hook from Thing Industries. It’s a play on the particular part of the body that so many people obsess over. If you choose to add one or two to your entryway or dressing area (a pair are encouraged, but certainly not necessary), not only will you have two functioning hooks to hang your keys or clothes, you’ll be celebrating boobs. BOOBS! Fun.

Landmarks Bowl by Klemens Schillinger

Contain those odds and ends with a bowl that looks even better empty. Maybe that will motivate you to put everything away in its right place? We can hope. Klemens Schillinger’s Landmarks Bowls have a sculptural presence with their stepped interiors that looks way more expensive than they are, meaning you get a whole lot of bang for your buck. Choose between the larger oblong or the smaller, circular size.
