Modern Metal House Numbers

Modern Metal House Numbers
You certainly won't find anything like this to at your local big box hardware store. These house numbers from Seattle-based Object Creative are made from bent steel and are available in brushed stainless steel, rusted mild steel, and a multitude of powder-coated colors. I could seeing people getting really creative with the material showing through the numbers, or perhaps backlighting them. Each number measures 6.25"H x 3"W x .5"D and...Read more

Themis Mobile from Artecnica

Themis Mobile from Artecnica
Mobiles aren't just relegated for above a baby's crib, you know. They're a great way to add movement and energy to a dull corner/space, and this mobile by Clara von Zweigbergk has enough color to do that job in spades. Designer Clara von Zweigbergk was inspired by the geometric design of polyedra: “The shapes quickly came together as a mobile. I think of them as planets and like to see...Read more

XL Shoe Horn

XL Shoe Horn
Oh yeah? You think you don't need this? Well, just watch, in a couple of years you'll be bending over huffing and puffing just to put your shoes on and in some tiny corner of your brain, you'll think, 'man, if I just got that darn XL shoe horn, my life would be just a tiny bit better'. Luxury is many things, but comfort is near (if not) the top...Read more

Framework print

Framework print
Shane from EveryGuyed emailed us about Framework, a series of posters highlighting the most iconic men’s eyewear of the last 100 years.

Glove & Hate Oven Mitt

Glove & Hate Oven Mitt
There are few things that genuinely delight and surprise me (being desensitized as I am to the many things I sort through each and every day), but funny enough, this oven mitt caught my attention in the best of ways. Whether you get it for yourself or just keep it in mind for a friend's future housewarming gift, it's sure to bring a smile and/or chuckle at each use. Keep...Read more

Ypsilon Dining Tables

Ypsilon Dining Tables
Do a quick search for 'Ypsilon Table' online and you'll find more than a handful of options, but I hazard a guess that there's few that cost less than $500. This table is available in either a small round size or the larger rectangle, both coming in comfortably under the $500 mark with a little room to spare. Ypsilon 42" Round Dining Table (42" dia. x 30"H), $299.00 Ypsilon 66"...Read more

Book Table Light

Book Table Light
This Book Light by Studio MS appears to have a lovely soft glow, no doubt due to the delicate pleated paper used to conceal the bulb. The small fawn-colored book is available from Gretel, but contact Studio MS to see other colors and the hanging (£180/$200) and larger version (£200/$230)....Read more

Toro Chair from Blu Dot

Toro Chair from Blu Dot
Olé, motherf#c!xr, indeed. Talk about a whole lot of bang for your buck, this chair from Blu Dot is one heck of a looker. A saddle leather sling in either natural or black (with accompanying white or black-stained beech frame) has a high end look with a downright affordable* price, especially if you figure in the 20% savings until November 8 (use promo code BLUDOT20 at checkout). That brings it...Read more

Free Furniture Plans from Recession Design
Extremely talented, and perhaps a bit strange (what's up with the chemical suits?), Italian design group Recession Design has created a whole line of modern furnishings for in and out of the home, and provided all the assembly plans free to download.
