If you're a fan of typography, you might recognize this sans-serif typeface based on Theo van Doesburg's orignal designs for an alphabet in 1919. Isn't it strange how something almost designed a century ago still feels current? 100% Cotton. Dimensions 72x45cm...Read more

Check out these colorful felt sleeves that folds around your laptop to keep it protected. When unfolded, the felt acts as a workspace with integrated mousepad. (If you have a sewing machine, chances are you could make something similar maybe?) Felt colors available: Orange, Grey, Lime, Black and Pink. Also available in Black or Brown leather (€189.00)....Read more

This looks like something straight out of Verner Panton's portfolio, doesn't it? Pink, orange, and yellow glass is combined to form these colorful 'color-wheel' tables. Now, if only they made this in a lucite-ish version at, let's say, a fifth of the cost, then maybe it'd fit nicer into all of our budgets. side table (20"dia x 16"h): $2,495 coffee table (31"dia x 12"h): $3,195...Read more

That's right, a glass water bottle that is reusable, recyclable, transportable and dishwasher safe. But what about the glass, hmm? Afraid it'll break? As long as you keep it from "radical falls" it should be perfectly fine. (On the Tkaro website there's also an engraved option if you want it customized; price is just slightly higher at $37.95.) Equivalent to 2 cups or 500mL. Do not place in freezer or...Read more

Hexagonal. Modular. Felt. Rug. I'm sort of speechless. There's not a lot of background info on this whole series (there's vases and bowls too that I'll post separately), but apparently Portland designer Aurelie Tu works with women at the YWCA in order to create these handmade pieces. If the rug is a bit high for your price range, there's equally impressive table runners: Interlocked Rounded Runner and Felt Offset Runner....Read more

Man, mobile gardening products sure are showing up left and right these days. These BACSACs are made from a 100% recyclable material that lets soil breathe and drain (which protects the roots of plants, fyi). Square and Long BACSACs are based on 12" squares. Material: 100% Recyclable, UV-, frost- and traction-resistant Geotextile. Baclong (two squares) starts at $128.00...Read more

Designed by Thomas Buchheim, this super thin wall clock is just the thing to inject some color into your day. It measures in at just half an inch thick, which means you can hang it pretty much anywhere. Pretty impressive (and affordable too). Uses one button cell LR1130 battery (included). 14.2" diameter, 0.5" thick...Read more

No more searching around for your favorite pens or pencils, because if you get this tray, you'll use it. Sure, it's a tad pricy, but depositing your writing implements on the soft (therefore quiet) rubber surface would appear to be entirely satisfactory. 7.1"L x 18.4"W x 0.5"H...Read more

Gym class. Did you love it or hate it?

Materials: reclaimed wood Surface is intentionally unfinished. Dimensions: 48" L x 16" W x 18" H; frame: 1.5" W...Read more

This is a pretty neat idea for a magnetic modular photo frame that is scaleable and adaptable to your use. Check out the video of it in action here, and more pictures after the jump....Read more

It's taken a while for this lamp to finally be available for purchase, but my-oh-my, wasn't it well worth the wait? Karl Zahn wanted the light assembly to be "as simple as opening a book", and describes the light at its most basic level as a "composition of pages all working together in symmetry." It arrives perfectly flat and through careful opening becomes a beautiful three dimensional shade. Available in...Read more

Toy? I'd classify this thing as more of an awesome-strange-plaything-slash-art-object, because 'toy' doesn't quite cover it. Each piece has three flexible arms with magnetic tips, so you can build all sorts of shapes and structures by attaching the arms to other pieces. The picture of it as a sort of room divider (shown above) sealed the deal for me, but take a look at the extra pictures below showing it...Read more

This lovely wool and silk rug has a warm gold and red color scheme with just enough pattern to make a room interesting. The simple design on a otherwise flat background has an updated feel to it, and the red/gold almost reads as a neutral because the contrast is somewhat subtle. It's the sort of piece that would work well with modern or traditional furnishings, which is always a good...Read more
