An all in one: Plate, Bowl, Cup, Utensil set and placemat for the workplace.

Okay, I’ll start by saying that I hope nobody is offended by this. But it’s too good not to post, so I hope if you are offended you’ll kind of just pretend this isn’t here on our site. Alright, this here is a Bible Gun by Robert The. And I’ll quote New Museum instead of trying to explain it on my own:

“Books culled from dumpsters and thrift store bins are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which had turned them into debris. Unlimited edition by Robert The. Each book is signed and dated.”

This reminds me of school and yardsticks, but in a very good way. Designed by Enzo Mari in 1959 for Danese Milano, Italy. Arrives in a lovely Danese gift box. Available in English or Italian. (also, it’s not nearly as redish as it looks in these pictures)

Material: Walnut central section, strips of ramin, beech, maple.

Dimensions: 18.9″ l.

This is a handy little desk. And it has two of my favorite features: stowability and bentwood. Folds flat for when you’re not using it.

Look at these crumpled cups! Surely they’ll make you happy everytime you open the cupboard doors, and if they don’t, I don’t know what will.

Porcelain. Made in the Netherlands.

Lg is an electronics company out of Korea that is producing some aesthetic products lately. Some of them include the tv with the television in the door, some European-looking front load dishwasers, and this wall mounted ac unit.

The graphics on these pillows are so very pleasant. I highly encourage you to take a look at all four designs (one for each season) as well as the many background colors that are available to choose from.

Materials: 100% imported linen. Hand silk-screened. Feather and down fill. Zipper enclosure.

From the Blu Dot family, this stool has 4 different seat options: Electric Yellow, Dark Brown, Terra Cotta, and Light Blue. Also available in counter height (24″) and bar height (30″)

frame is powder coated silver.

Based on the ubiquitous envelope “Design number 10”, this mailbox is constructed of steel and coated in zinc to prevent rust.

16 1/4″ wide, 7 1/4″ high, and 5 1/2″ deep, it comes with mounting hardware to hang on a wall.

Available in white, black or aluminum.

This is compact enough you could put it in the tiniest entryway or the smallest office, or anywhere else you might need some help with your organizational skills. 6 magnets are included and the plastic cup is removable, and as you can see, there’s a built in letter slot.

Hardware for mounting included as well. <

This is a good idea. It’s a kit which includes 10 frames and a map that you hang on the wall to easily know where to put the nails in so you don’t have to do a lot of hammering to get the frames to hang nicely.

To quote their website: “It uses our revolutionary and Patented “Pre-View” Template technology allowing you to determine placement, height and character of frames all without measuring and before the first hook is ever entered into your wall.”

I like how they act like it’s rocket science or something. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great idea, but what they call “Pre-view template technology”, I call an overgrown post-it-note with squares on it. Where I come from, our “technology” consisted of paper towels and scotch tape. I don’t know how their attorneys actually secured a patent for this, but there you have it. In the immortal words of Yakov Smirnoff, “America! What a country!”

DWR just released a new line of kitchen appliances (and they take Target’s Michael Graves collection to school!)

If you have extra space available on your ipod, you can fill it up with music from your choice of thousands of radio stations. Griffin offers a free trial for a week.

The float vase was inspired by a wine bottle partially submerged in the ocean, hinting that what’s there isn’t there, and what isn’t there, infact, is.

This is simply the best bottle-opener I’ve ever seen: It fits in your wallet and is far less obtrusive than a key-chain bottle opener.
