Shoot, this mirror is such a deal. I’ve seen mirrrors the same size go for at least twice as much, and I know ’cause I bought one. Six foot by three, with a six-9nch white lacquer finished border, it’ll be just the thing to add faux-space to your home. (And, no more standing on chairs to see how the shoes work…)

The other neat stuff in the picture you can find by following the link- apparently the white nesting table page isn’t working, but all the other items are available for your viewing pleasure.

Are you in despair? Can’t find the perfect wallet? This might come close if it doesn’t hit the nail right on the head. Sure, the name’s a bit worrisome, but I like the red insides and the slight dot detail. It’s made of 100% genuine leather with a microfiber-lined bill pocket and lots of room for stuff. They arrive on your doorstep in a little (yet manly) metal case.

Available in Brown/Tan Nubuck, Tan Nubuck/Black, and Black/Red (shown).

This lamp is really quite striking; I would have it in my home in a heartbeat if it were just a bit more affordable.

Harriet Carter is notorious for selling some really terrible things that no one should ever buy, but I thought this portable dog dish deserved a mention. This would have come in handy the time I took my 100 lb. German Shepherd and my 60 lb. Dobermann for a walk on a hot day. On the way home, the German Shepherd simply refused to go any further and I ended up having to get all three of us a ride home. It was embarrassing. [Via Book of Joe.]

The folks at Mike and Maaike have made this amazing bamboo cantilevered mobile and it’s available for purchase today.

Did you know that ‘Hebi’ translates to ‘Snake’ in Japanese? This little lamp can twist in every direction, which allows you to shed light any which where you please- even the shade rotates. Created in 1970, this lamp is one of the many icons of 20th century design. It holds a rightful place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Flexible metal tube covered in PVC.

Size: ca. 3.5″ Diameter lamp shade x 19.68″ long fully extended.

This is a striking chair with a cantilevered seat. It’s a little pricy to buy more than one, (unless you have that kind of budget) but if you were looking for a signature piece for a study or main entry way, this might be your chair.

Have you seen this yet? If not, take a look. Even if you are allergic to kids, you’ve got to appreciate the design of this little chair. Turned one way, the seat height is 10.5″; flipped the other way the seat height is 14.5″. And, best of all, turned on it’s side it becomes a rocking stool. Super good design. It’d be a good gift for itty bitty humans- not too terribly pricey.

Available in red, yellow, white, or blue.

Do any of you have landlines anymore? If so, check out these old timey rotary phones that have been collected from Argentina and refurbished back to orginal working condition.

Take a moment to take a look at this Crevasse Vase by Zaha Hadid. This polished stainless steel vase reflects light with it’s elegant lines and has that certain elusive architectural substance that you know you want. Do I know what I’m talking about? Maybe.

I love the idea of taking an easily available staple good and being able to customize it to make it more interesting/usable/applicable. The people at Ding 3000 have a few different variations on the Billy Shelf from Ikea. My favorite is the one that hikes Billy up on the left side to make all the books lean to the right, thus removing the need for bookends.

I am so upset. When I saw this phone yesterday, I really fell head over heels. That might sound silly, but really, how often do you see a phone that knocks your socks off? I want it and can’t buy it!! It’s not fair. Maybe if we all email the company, they’ll succumb to the inevitable and provide an option to ship to the U.S.

Totally sustainable lighting. Leave it on your window sill all day and by nightfall you’ll have a nice glowing bulb to guide your way.
