Here's another excellent option for a counter stool, straight from Coolican & Company. Handcrafted from solid Black Walnut (harvested on the Niagara Escarpment), the counter height stool has a classic turned leg with an interesting faceted top for comfort. The pared down styling makes it a future classic, as it would work well with many other design periods. The price is pretty reasonable too- or, at least not crazy expensive...Read more

Spatulas, sticks, tongs, and spoons- do you have everything you need for your Thanksgiving feast? The ‘Easy’ collection for Rig-Tig by Stelton hits the right spot for minimalist kitchenware. You'd best figure in rush shipping for any online orders, though, as you you're cutting it awfully close for cut-off dates (we don't want you to have to serve your sweet potatoes with your hands, now, do we?)....Read more

This carafe by designer Céline Frébault (in collaboration with the Sentou gallery) incorporates a rather odd beaker-like handle, which fills when the carafe is full. As far as carafes go, it's definitely got a high end (semi-mad-scientist?) look... any guesses as to the price? Is it $50, $100, $200? If you guessed around the $100 mark, you are correct. It comes with a $115 price tag. 10" high. "I endeavour...Read more

You can pair it with your phone/device's notification system to receive instant on-screen alerts for calls, texts, or social media updates. Make your own drawings or animations via the app or use any of the ready-made alerts. It's also useful: make hands-free calls...Read more

If you're looking for a super-minimal table or bench, you might like the looks of the Simone Collection by 57st. design. Double-thick Baltic birch plywood has dovetailed ends (spaced in irregular intervals) for visual interest and overall strength. The short or long bench would do well in an entryway or hallway, and won't break the bank, thankfully. Free shipping, too, just in case that sweetens the deal. Materials: Baltic Birch...Read more

Remember the Carabiner Key? This is the newer version, and it looks just a little more robust, don't you think? Clip your key to other key rings, a bag, or your own belt loop and know it will stay securely fastened until you unclip it. Such a smart detail. Available in KW1 and SC1 Key Sizes....Read more

Each box is covered in pure cotton and lined with recycled paper in a complementary shade. Sold as a set of 4, in either Traditional...Read more

Bargain glassware has one thing going for it: bargain pricing. But it's not such a bargain if the glassware breaks after a couple of uses, right? Here's a drinkware set that's durable, elegant, and rather affordable. A set of four glasses are paired with a tall carafe; all are made in Italy of lead-free crystallized glass that is both ultra-clear and break resistant. Quality and beauty combined? Yes, please. This...Read more

A folding bike that weighs the same as two cats? For reals? The Hummingbird Bike is the lightest folding bike on the market, thanks to its carbon fibre frame and smart design. It weighs in at 6.5 kilograms (that's 14.33 pounds)- pretty impressive. After all, is there anyone sane who enjoys lugging their bike up stairs after they've pedaled for miles and miles? Or finding a spot in the office...Read more
