Yeah, how much do you want this? Because this is the sort of thing that once you have, you'll wonder how you managed without it, unless you always-always-always sit at a table to eat, of course (in which case, this might change your life). The double chambers allow two types of food to be balanced 'ergonomically' while eating without a table. What part of that isn't great? Less mess fumbling...Read more

Has spring officially sprung? I'd say so, and it's got me daydreaming of afternoons at the park.

Do you remember the Do-lo-rez Modular Sofa? Well, here's a carpet to match.

Kris posted the JUXTAPOSED: Religion from Mike and Maaike back in October of '07, and I can honestly say I've never stopped wanting it. And now, as if to torture us further, they've created a second series focused on "seven of the world's most seminal texts on power" which is offered in a numbered, limited edition of 50. "2,451 pages 2,390 years 2,251 wars 432 revolutions 90 empires 7 books...Read more

Hand cranked music boxes, they're not just for monkeys in red hats to dance to anymore... uh, right? This music box brings to mind the vintage versions, except it's small enough to keep handy. Have a listen to what it sounds like on youtube:'Valser d'Amelie'. The nice illustration/graphic design on the package is by Maria Helena of the 2.2 design studio. About 1.6" x 2" x 0.8" Material: Metal, Paper...Read more

Hmm... concrete plus glass usually means cold (not brrr-cold, more like cold-museum-looking), but this stairway/entrance (garage?) has been in my inspiration files for a while. Knocking down a regular banister in favor of a glass one *wall* like this would sure let a lot more light bounce around, not to mention pare down any visual clutter. Of course, the artwork, bike, and chair helps this space to feel lived in......Read more

A little something to add a pop of color to a monochromatic scheme. I think the embossed floral pattern on the plastic surface adds a light sense of humor that Mon Oncle would approve of. Designer: Tord Boontje Polyethylene, for indoor and outdoor use 30.25 x 26 x 27.25 inches...Read more

Remember the minui HandySitt portable seat that we posted a while ago? Now it's got a companion chair. When combined with the seat, it makes a freestanding high chair. Without the portable seat, it's a stepstool and/or a chair for older kids. Nice. Dimensions: 71.1 x 31 x 21.6 centimeters (2.38 kg)...Read more
