$700 seems like a lot for a folding bicycle, but this one sure doesn't skimp on features: a light-weight aluminum frame, great name-brand components, full fenders, and rack. And I must point my absolute favorite which is the full size air pump built into the seat post! Brilliant! The Vitesse D7HG is for those who are looking for a great bike for urban commuting at a good value. We took...Read more

So, this house looks pretty interesting, right? Large windows, large overhang/cantilever, idealic setting, all these signs point to 'yes'. However, looking at this image below: you kind of get the impression of an old mobile home perched dangerously on the edge of a hill. Some graffiti, a little trash strewn about, and the setting is the kind you hope your kids aren't spending time around. Am I wrong? Ah, now...Read more

Just how fantastic are these chairs from Resign? Still waiting back on confirmation of purchase process, but I'm guessing you email them. Apologies that it's not super clear, but I figured it was worth posting despite all that. Designed by Giovanni Delvecchio & Andrea Magnani On sale: 280€...Read more

With a name like that who needs a PR company? These two designs from TPC (my nickname for them, btw) are just plain cute. Come on, polar bears and zebras? You just can't go wrong. £70.50 per roll...Read more

Running across this photo from the January 2007 issue of House & Garden (via moodboard) made me look a little more at the details within the room. I'm not one for overstyling bookcases, but something about the haphazardness of these is really appealing, because, uh, oh yeah, they don't look styled. I might try paying a little more attention to my own study bookcases... goodness knows they need some love....Read more

So, get this, that's the price. There's no '1' missing, nor any zeros. And why does a bamboo bookshelf that looks this cool have the reasonable price tag of $699? Apparently the retailer doesn't use distributors; they manufacture their products on demand and sell them direct. Hmm... any takers? Created by LDK Design. 100% Bamboo Depth:15"Width:71.3"Height:47.2"...Read more

I love, love, love these custom nesting dolls by Hally McGehean. There's fashion mag pics and vintage photography to choose from, or whatever else if you go the custom route. You can even get a little racy with photos of yourself (in various undress) if you've the guts. Love it. shown above: 5 EX BOYFRIENDS, nesting dolls set of 5 wooden decoupaged nesting dolls, signed, dated, and numbered....Read more

Jeffrey, of JeffreyJamesModern, commented upon the cost prohibitive Ladyslipper Terrarium last week in order to draw attention to his own more affordable line. And what do you know, compared to $9,500.00, the price of $350 seems downright dirt cheap. I'd snap of them up right away if I lived in the US and if I could keep plants alive. There's also a "You Choose, I Create" terrarium option, where you...Read more

Set of hard cheese knives composed of one knife for hard...Read more

You know, for when you're lost in the desert (or camping, as the case most likely will be). Or maybe you'll use it daily if you get enough sunshine through your window.

With design and travel elements similar to Wallpaper, Monocle adds politics, economics, fashion, property and even manga cartoons. It's very internationalist in flavour and one of my favourite columns is a section that features the various�transport solutions of country leaders. I enjoy it when I'm travelling and find many of my next purchases in their product sections. They...Read more

Proceeds from all purchases support bike distribution efforts in Kenya, or if you're not in need of a bicycle, you can give a (tax-deductable) donation to help support the cause.
