Ooo, nice! We're big fans of Kaufmann Mercantile, so, of course it's exciting to see their new line of select goods. The Gathering Bench is particularly lovely, as it is made from solid Black Walnut wood, and by woodworkers in New York, no less. Think of the design like a recipe; start with a base of Scandinavian lines, throw in a fair amount of Danish mid-century modern, and then add...Read more

Similar to vintage ‘trick boxes’, this Tanno Free Case requires one push of its wood button for...Read more

Ah-ha! This looks like a pen, but it's really a multi-purpose tool hidden inside a pen-like casing. It's perfect for those of us that like to be prepared for anything, yet can't really justify wearing a tool belt everywhere we go (sooo cumbersome, right?). The 16 tool bits can be easily switched out- they're all stored within the pen, so you cycle through to the one you need*. Taiwanese architect...Read more
