For your favorite wine lover, or maybe just for you. This rack holds up to 12 bottles and can accommodate even champagne bottles. It’s also a space saver (hurray) since you slide the bottles in from the front, so that an unused wall in the kitchen or dining can now be utilized in a modern sort of display.

Material: high-grade steel

Size: 4,5 cm wide, 97 cm high, 6,7 cm deep, with bottles 56 cm wide, 10 cm deep

It’s a bench! It’s a storage bin! You can put your stuff in here and then sit on it. Will wonders never cease?

Materials: 1 3/4″ solid wood gables wrapped in molded birch plywood.

As it is officially december (a.k.a holiday season), some of us might need to gear up…

“Deluxe first-aid-kit box contains four state-of-the-art coping aids—breath mints, antibacterial wipes, earplugs, and shotglass—together for the first time in one portable kit.”

Red translucent box, 6.5 x 6.5 x 2.5 inches; red vacuum-form insert contains elements

Now, here’s something- these are actually two modular units stacked upon each other. I am, of course, fond of furniture being versatile, and this having the option to be un-stacked and used alone is a definite plus. In fact, used alone, it’d be a really nice credenza or sideboard. (When stacked, the space between the stacking compartments can hold lots of your CDs.)

Available in walnut, maple or cherry wood veneer.

Simple assembly required.

The space inside the shelf is 12″ tall.
The space between the units is 5.25″ tall.

This “Code Key Ring” holds up to three PIN codes displayed in “an elegant and safe” way. Beyond that, I’m not really sure how it’s used. But I think it’s interesting. Buy it for a friend who likes Rube Goldbergian gadgets and they’ll be pleased.

If Mies Van Der Rohe were going to the beach, what would he bring to lounge on? I think it would be this beach towel.

I know this is not “season appropriate” but it’s on sale and maybe some of you are planning a nice little holiday trip to a sunny beach somewhere.

This watch is like one of those old school holograms where when you look at it at one angle you see one thing and look at it another you see something else. To see the time look at it straight on, twist your wrist a few degrees to see the date, and angle it another way to display a range of emoticons. Why you would need to see emoticons on your watch, I’m not sure. They are annoying enough on your computer. 😉

It’s a short Rosewood Bench. It’s simple, has a lovely wood grain, and hopefully won’t break anybody’s bank.

I sometimes assume that everyone has seen some things, so then I don’t post something that really everyone should see. This has been one of those things, and today, while perusing a magazine, I happened upon it again. I certainly will not pretend to know much about record players, ’cause I don’t, but I will tell you that I think it’s the prettiest player I’ve seen. (Please see website for tons of info and specifics that you’ll be interested in if you have a record collection.)

“An Excellent choice for the audiophile seeking a cost effective vinyl playback solution.”

Oh, I’ve got to also say it’s available in so many good colors (like shiny red, blue, cream, white(!), yellow, acidish green, etc.).

A conceptual clock, of sorts…
“A circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a central point. There’s a theory that if you can draw a circle, you can draw anything. everlab, in its quest to merge art and science, now brings to you the one-hour circle. Portable, adhesive, and battery-powered, the one-hour circle creates a perfect pencil orbit in sixty minutes. Available in a range of aesthetically appealing colours, the everlab one-hour circle can bring a little bit of mathematical perfection to every room in the house.” Via Core77.

This little lamp appears to be glowing with no energy source (wouldn’t that be nice?) when really the oil is under the concave, stainless surface.

Diameter 10.5″

Thanks, William!

Do you want a piece of history? How about a piece of the future?

“A minimalist classic, this flatware represents the essence of the Danish modern style and has been in continuous production since it was first designed. Used as the flatware of the crew in Stanley Kubrick’s film, “2001, A Space Odyssey,” the futuristic-looking set is sleek, with the handles only slightly differentiated, and the knife blade indicated by only a subtle indentation. The five-piece place setting is made of matte-finish 18/8 stainless steel by Georg Jensen.”

I’m not sure how durable this thing is but it’s nice enough for the price.
“Cushions are constructed of a polyether foam and the suspension consists of a “no-sag” spring supported by rubber webbing. The Montana collection is covered in a rich “chocolate” fabric made of 100% polyester, and chrome feet add the perfect finishing touch. Chair and ottoman also available.”

A little fancier than ikea. This double dresser is proportioned for small and hard-to-fit spaces, and is made with a natural cherry wood veneer (instead of a photographic image of wood grain on plastic). The drawers have metal drawer pulls and ball-bearing drawer glides. Complete assembly required.

dimensions:
63.5″w x 34″h x 16″d.
delivery surcharge: $50.00

Not bad for placemats, eh? Natural veneers are laminated onto flexible foam to make for some decent/simple table protection.
