If you’re planning for an apocalypse, you need to add this clever coat to your arsenal.
“The ample pockets may be filled with newspapers for warmth, or used for storing personal belongings, food, maps, and other survival gear. Hand-wash with cold water or dry clean. One size fits all.”

Imported from Japan. Duh.

How many times have you inteded to bring something with you to work and you’ve entirely forgotten? If it’s too many times to count, you may just want this 50 sheet “Forget me not” pad that hangs on your door knob.

This is probably a little different than what you’re used to. A soft, woven fibre-glass cloth is the “shade” of this light, and possibilities are endless. You can hang in on a wall, lay it on the floor- really, any way you choose, this light would be lovely.

Dimensions: cloth: 28.75″ x 28.75″
Materials: glass fiber cloth, synthetic material, 40W bulb

I swoon. The Nooka Zoo V2 (shown on right) and the Nooka Zot V2 (on left) gives me heart palpatations and sweaty palms. It’s too big for my dainty wrist, but goodness, if you’ve got an arm hefty enough to hold such a fine design why not buy it? Watches as nice as this are worth the investment.

“The Nooka Zoo V2 sports a full-face mineral crystal lens. Smudged? Just wipe clean on your designer t-shirt. New features include a chronograph for timing poker games, and an alarm for morning wakeup. Patented design, stainless steel, measures 35mm x 35mm x 9mm. Waterproof.”

Especially well suited for outdoor or rather large residential spaces, the BdLove Lamp is a bench with built in lighting.

Can be used outside or inside.
Dimensions: 55.5″ x 47.25″ x 118.2″h

This Thomas Paul Baroque pillow is the perfect thing for today, as it seems I’m only posting black and white stuff. 100% silk twill and filled with a high quality poly insert, this 18″ pillow “stands up to the rigors of being lounged upon”. The case zips off via a hidden zipper for easy cleaning.

(it’s not $70.00 like all the other pillows! hurray.)

From one of Jonathan Adler’s earlier lines, the ‘Nelson’ line of pottery is based on the bubble lamps made by George Nelson. I really like how Adler can make ceramic look like it’s draped over a wire frame. It’s elegant.

Mm-hmm. Nice watch, ain’t it?

“Part of Alessi’s 2005 Fall/Winter collection, the buckle series by Patricia Urquiola may be worn on the wrist or with an optional leather necklace… Shown here is the black version which features stainless steel case, leather strap, 5ATM water resistant, and mineral crystal.”

A pleasant ginko pattern from the kids at twenty2.

Need some decorative nonsense? Try some of these wall slats. They can be applied horizontal or vertical. And are 1/2 inch deep, wood based, primed ready for painting; peel away sticker back for easy application.

Oh, this is good. Obviously you wouldn’t want to give this to someone who takes their religion too seriously, or, maybe you would. Hopefully everyone can appreciate the fact that regardless of personal beliefs or ideologies, it’s simply a good design.

Yes, it’s really called the “bling-blink” ring. Maybe it’s because you have to blink a couple of times to make sure you’re really seeing what you think you’re seeing. Pardigm shifting the concept of the typical diamond ring one finger at a time.

I think acrylic may have run it’s course (has it?), but I still like the idea of having an entirely transparent room.

“Features a tray with a variety of configurable holders, including a tape dispenser, stapler, magnetic clip-cup, and letter holder. Made of clear polystyrene plastic with metal parts.”

I love the idea of taking an inherent flaw of something and turning it into an advantage. This concept takes the familiar coffee ring and elevates it to something unexpected yet welcome. I saw these on this great design site a long time ago but, as far as I know, they weren’t available for purchase. Finally, it’s been picked up by a retailer in the US.

Yes, I know, this is way too expensive and not what most people call affordable, but it’s also incredibly amazing. It’s made of white goose feathers!! And, it’s almost 3 feet in diameter!! You just can’t beat that, at least not today. Think of how nice it’d look above a dining table, or next to a sofa. Mmm. Can somebody make me this for a tenth of the price? Please?

manufacturer: Heike Buchfelder, Germany

35.5″ diameter

This makes me so happy, as only a huge goose lamp would.
